ABR Festival 2024, I crashed on the Bridgestone Trail. Yamaha Tenere 700

ABR Festival 2024 Bridgestone Trail Tenere 700 crash.
I messed up!
I rode this trail 6 times last year, bl##dy brilliant, but this year got part way round, and I drifted to the right in a deep tramline and it took the front. More power they said! It probably would of helped to get the front light but it happened too quick. Think I was sat, and stood up just before and the bike pulled right to the wall of the tram.
Anyway, sat here a bit bruised and battered with a sore femur and chest and a written off Arai Xtour-4.
Wear good kit guys. The Forcefield Pro Shirt saved me from a broken shoulder looking at the bruising underneath.
The fabulous 2022 Yamaha Tenere 700 stood up well to the fall, aided with the R&G engine bars and Lomo side bar bags. A broken numberplate, plate lamp and bent crash bars were all to suffer and safely got me back home once straightened and gaffer taped up.
I'll be back at ABR next year, no worries.

I can sympathise mate. I binned my T7 on that exact stretch of trail doing the same thing you did.

Oh, thank you for your reply my friend. Yes, it sucks! Can't thank the medi crew enough. I rode off on adrenaline but paying for it at the moment with pain killers. Hope you were OK too?

Unfortunately I rode on and realised soon after that my left wrist was broken
