Broke and Yellow

It was really just a matter of time... not a question of "if", but one of "when".

While making an ill-advised u-turn on an upward sloping right hand turn, I lost my balance and dropped Black and Yellow. I'm okay, and the bike only has some scratches. In fact, the reason that I lost my balance is because I was going so slow. Had I been going faster, it never would have happened.

Unsurprisingly, this Friday the 13th started off with some ominous foreshadowing. While wandering my way through A Coruña, I noticed that the right turn signal was flashing faster than the left; I had just topped off the blinker fluid, so that wasn't the problem. In a car, the turn signal blinks faster when one of the bulbs is out, so I thought that may have been the case. Upon arrival at a gas station, I noticed that the bulb was definitely out. It was so out, it wasn't even attached anymore. That's coming out of the deposit.

So, that's what happened. Here's an unrelated picture showing the total distance traveled yesterday:
