*PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION*
I understand I didn't give the best description of the crash in the video and if I left you with just the video to go by you'd all be very confused and all manner of questions would appear in the comments section. So, in order to resolve this here's an in-depth description of what happened:
I was on my way to work this morning at roughly 03:50am, I was a tad late but was riding no differently to how I normally would. I was approaching a roundabout that's cambered slightly, meaning I typically go round it a bit faster than I would any other roundabout. I entered the roundabout at roughly 25-30mph. At the tightest point of the turn the rear end fell from under me, trapping my right leg between the tarmac and the bike, I was blinded by sparks from the cheap Chinese chrome as I was dragged along the road, creating road rash on my ankle, knee and hip. Both my knee and ankle were twisted in the process. Once I'd moved the bike off of the road and made sure I was okay, I rang my father and my girlfriend who both immediately came to my aid. I left the bike in a nearby residential road and went home, to later realise I had no way of getting the bike back home. Later the same day my Grandmother picked me up and took me to the bike, which I then somewhat reluctantly and difficultly road home, in which time I recorded this video. The damage to the bike is somewhat substantial and is no longer safe for road use. Due to this there will probably not be any new vlogs in the near-future. I do have a few vlogs that I have edited and rendered that are ready for upload, and I will do so over the next few weeks, as well as keeping you updated on the situation regarding my bike, and when I'll be back on the road.
