Mine was different as I was stopped at a traffic light, distracted and the light changed. I started to go, but still distracted did not move. Guess what, no go, no balance. I fell on my right side. Unlike the president, I did get a nasty 3 inch bleeder on my elbow. The important thing is my bike wasn’t harmed. I mean you have to maintain proper perspective.
