Round a round a roundabout and then I fell off
 
Bah coming home tonight, about 5minutes from home, just had a downpour so taking it easy round the roundabouts, one roundabout with a slight camber and zip the front end just goes on me and im on the deck.

The off was pretty good as far as offs go, frame sliders on it so they took a beating while the bike slid, the rear brake lever snapped off *shock* and a slight scuff on exhaust link pipe but apart from that its all good. Oh and im fine, even my gear looks good.

Done the roundabout many times and took it slowly with bt020 front and rear, just the way it goes I suppose :roll: and a great reminder for everyone to take it easy out there

Oh Fook. Glad you are ok.

Not being critical but you were not being too careful , were you? and maybe loading the front just that little bit more.

Cheers
Ben

Darn it is very slipy out there at the moment.

I have a 020 on the rear of my bike, never had it before but it spins up realy easy. I find that i am regularly stepping the rear out with constant throttle. Not as good as the Z6.

The roundabout he's on about is known for being greasy. My friend spun his company van out in the very same place.

Glad your ok falc. Hope the bike recovers quickly :thumbsup:
