Headed out on the journey on a very nice wide a-road that I know well, there was a broken down bus, thought nothing of it.
On my way back on the way route an hour later, I was overtaking a car round the sweeping bend to the left around 90/100ish
(Kilometres an hour maybe? lol) roughly where this bus had broken down... suddenly saw a HUGE heaped pile of saw-dust that must've been used to soak up anything from this broken down bus on the road.
"S%*t".
Not enough time to go around it, straight though the middle, back end slid out, manged to grab it upright to stablise itself after a bit of wobbling, breathed out, and carried on :P
Moral to the story: Watch out for where there was something broken down previously :P
------------------------------------------------------------
Following my mate on his R6 on the way back from a ride out, we were coming down a Main A-Road with 3 lanes near Coventry way, that then split into 5 lanes, with the left 2 for going down the slip road to an island.
Mate points up at the sign (pointing at the straight ahead one) and accelerates... What he actually meant to do was point to the left one... as he accelerated to get infront of the traffic, and swung onto the off-ramp.
I checked there was enough space, and followed him.
Now - neither of us realised was that this slip road going down... also went sharpy to the right, followed by a sharp left!!!
So there's both of us, doing around 100
(kilometres per hour again maybe? :P) braking as delicately as possible to slow down
WHILE banked over like buggery to get round this corner!!!! Lets just say my ticker was going just a 'little' faster than normal :P lol!
Moral to the story: don't follow your lunatic mate on an R6 unless you're a lunatic yourself :P
