My first accident with my motorcycle GT128

Well, as the title above I've had an accident on the past 22 June 2013. I was very lucky to escape the accident but with few scratch and sprain to my body. It was the first time I ever had an accident, and I was pretty scared.

The thing happened when I was on my way to my home town at Pahang from Shah Alam. I decided to went home that day because a few days later, I'll have final examination. It is more to seek a bless from my parent for the upcoming exam rather than just going home.

I was using the East Coast Highway (LPT) to get to Pahang. The accident happened when I was taking a corner at Gambang Exit. Undeniably, it was my own mistake. Actually, before I arrived at the Exit, I was following a Yamaha LC135. The LC135 seem to know I was following him and he just continuously speeding with me in tail behind. The speedometer reading was at 140 km/h to 150 km/h until  I reach the Exit. I happened to enter the curvy Exit with too much speed. If you have use the Exit Gambang before, you should know the road is very curvy.

Location of the accident



It was too late before I realized that I was too fast when entering the Exit. I hit the brake pedal hardly. The rear tyre screeching on the road. The tyre going to the left and right. But the speed was not reduce too much. I could see the divider was getting near to me. And I knew in a few seconds, I was going to hit the road divider. But I did nothing else to stop my motorcycle. Maybe I was too panic on that time.

And BAMMM!!

 I gone straight to the divider. I could felt the impact when my motor hit the highway divider. I could felt my right hand bump on the divider. My eye view was a blur. The world seem to rotating around me. I could't tell which way I'am going.

The impact happened too fast and ended fast too. I don't remember I had my eyes closed, but it seem that when it was finally stop, I just opened my eyes. Now I could felt that I was lying on the road in a prone position.  But a few seconds later, I was so scared when I realized I could't move my right hand. I thought my hand was broke.  Immediately my thought gone dizzy. I was afraid I could't sit on the exam. Then I try to get up. But I could't. It look like I cant move my hand to help me get up. Than, I realized that something heavy was on my body. In fact, my motorcycle was on half of my body. From my waist down to my feet was stuck under the motorcycle.

At that time, a few cars just drove past me. I was so upset as if the drivers did not see me lying on the road. I need help to get up. If I don't move from the spot, I afraid a big vehicle such lorry or bus would ran over me. Thank god, I could see a Gold Exora stop a few meters from me. The driver get out from his car, but he hesitated a moment. I dont know why he did not going straight to me. I waved my left hand to him for help. I try to say HELP but my voice does't seem to come out. At last the man came to me. He help me to stand on my feet.

My arm injury


The man ask me if I'am okay. I said yes but I told him I cant feel my right hand. He told me to raise my hand up. I did. Thank god, I could move my hand. Then it was not broke. The man said, dont worry about my hand. I could't felt the hand because it was numb after such an impact on the divider.

He asked me to calm down. He gestured to my chest that was moving rapidly. 
Yes I was in a shocked that time. Then he ask me if I want a water. 
I nodded. 
He help to push my motor toward his car. I walked and felt the pain all over my body. 
After a few gulp of water, I started to calm down. Now the things come clearer to me. 
I try to start my motorcycle and it work. The man ask me to try if I can ride the motor. 
I tried and the motor still can moved. He told me to ride the motorcycle and he would followed from behind.He also told me to immediately go to clinic at Gambang town. 

So, i get on the motorcycle and continue a few kilometer untill the toll. The man drove beside me and ask in body signal if I'm okay and can continue the ride. I felt to not to burden him anymore, so I noded and showed him a good signal. Then he noded, and continue to his journey.

Scratches on my left hand


I was so thankfully to him. I still remember he was wearing a Proton T shirt. Maybe from a auto club. And if I'm not mistaken, his car number plate is WWW 765. I will going to say thank you to him one day if I ever meet him again.

I continued the ride to my home for about 60 km. My speed just 60 km/h. And my motorcycle just dont felt right. I knew my motorcycle has damaged, but I don't have time to check its condition. Furthermore my wound are getting painful. I arrived at home to see my mothers shocked after knew I just have an accident. She worriedly call for my father to look at my wound.

After saw that reaction from her, I just realized I cant have her to felt like that again. Down in my heart I just know next time I ride again, always remember the people I love.
