Just leaving work today and thought that my right glove was a little uncomfortable so I decided to adjust it as I have done many times before


You can picture the scene me leaving work in front of a loads of my colleagues travelling at less than 5mph with both hands off the bars, front wheel hits the slightest bump and goes sideways and the bike falls over,

I just step off the bike into a standing position as the bike hits the floor, leaving me feeling unbelievably stupid :oops: :oops: :oops:

Fortunately the R&G saved the day with the only damage being a snapped gear lever (has anyone got a spare?) and a few scratches in the faring

Really looking forward to everyone laughing at me a work tomorrow!!

At the end of the day you got to laugh but what a tit i am :oops:
