Well finished work early today so thought Id go for a quick ride before the due rain spoilt the day.

Was riding for about 5 mins came to a roundabout to turn right. Half way round turning tried to lean it a tad more and lost it!!!
Instantly without any thought put my foot down which was just enough to put the bike upright again for me to exit the roundabout and let me make this face:smt103.

Nothing on the road i.e diesel gravel so completely my lack of experience and I realise I shouldn't have tried to lean it over that far on cold tyres. Stupid Stupid.

Although it could've been worse I feel a bit gutted, recently ive been making good progress on my riding. I really need to work on smoothing out my riding i think.

Anyway just thought id share.

Well done on keeping it going, being new to this I'm sure I would have been a gibbering wreck, probably got plenty of those moments to come :D At least you made it out though, check out my most recent post here http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=115955&page=3 :rolleyes:

Sounds like you were not going fast enough. Scary, though!
