Well two days ago I was traveling trough northern Argentina trough a sandy and gravel road when night caught me still 50kms away from the nearest town. When the gravel road ended I sped up because it was late and I was tired and hungry, my bad. This almost desertic climate makes necessary to have some ditches on the road here and there to allow flash floods to cross the tarmac, I went through a few of them without a problem. But then one was filled with sand, creating this kind of natural and huge speed bump and being so late, dark and me being so tired barely gave me time to slow down. I went over it but my bike jumped, and I wasn't able to control it. I fell and slide for what it felt an eternity, and just went along with my bike.Luckily the road was empty (almost no one travels there), got up and my bike still worked, just a few scratches and a broken rear brake lever. There was no phone coverage so I rode it to the nearest hospital.Here's the album of the aftermath, nothing too serious but I won't tempt my fortune again!https://imgur.com/a/7sbXsjs via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/fe523v/i_took_a_fall_at_nearly_120kph_only_got_a_few/?utm_source=ifttt
