Okay, I had a little slip resulting in an unplanned tarmac, motorcycle and rider interface on Sunday night.
Heading back into North London on Sunday night, from Hackney, through Dalston... there's a division from the classic route crossing the Kingsland Road. At the railway bridge the road turns sharp left, then right, and is one-way.
I was filtering past traffic, got close to the top of the brow of the bridge, and saw the gravel all over the right side of the road - by which time it was really too late, and it all went down on the left side.
Footpeg and handlebar took most of the impact, mirror smashed, and a couple of scrapes on the tank and front mudguard. I seem to have splashed a bit of fork oil too.
I'm rather bruised, too most of the impact on my left shoulder which is now very sore. Bit of a bruise on my left thigh, and I'll be needing a new helmet at some point soon.
So do I qualify for the Crashy McGee?
