meh, fell off
 

Well it had to happen eventually i suppose. Came off the bike on the single track roads near john o groats. I was basically pushed onto the soft verge by an oncoming transit which refused to stop in the passing place. The bike spun on the soft peat and me n her indoors slid in the mud to a stop. Luckily i only bent a brake pedal. The van driver didnt even stop, Neither did a passing biker. 2 Cagers did though to ask if we were ok.

Be safe ladies and gents

I thought DL1000s were meant to work off road? :-P

Bummer, sorry to hear about your off.

Pleased there's neither injury or much damage.

The sticky road attack rubber says no! Ha, battlewings next for me, may have saved the embarrassment but i doubt it. Fully loaded the thing just sunk in the mud, slappered a bid and fell over. Reminded of falling off my ktm when i was a kid trying to do wheelies (i couldn't).

sorry to hear about that - and the reluctance of the other biker to stop.

I generally dont stop for other bikers, but mainly out of personal safety, for one I'm a girl with no mechanical knowledge so unless I can see someone injured/off the bike not moving I'm not going to stop.

And a while ago there was a spate of incidents of people flagging down bikers/passing cars and waiting for them to stop, get off/out and then an accomplice nicked their bike/car.

I always feel bad for not stopping in situations like yours tho.
