I fell off this morning
I dropped my bike this morning, at low speed, going round a roundabout. Snapped brake levers, damaged fairing, broken indicator. Highly annoying. Wet-ish roundabout, near a petrol station. It wasn't until it happened, that I remember someone telling me, that roundabouts near stations can be dodgy, but I must have forgot, so though I'd remind you all. Roundabouts-wet road-petrol stations, can be dodgy.
Keep safe. Mick 2000 SV650S. Scratched. |

Re: I fell off this morning
Also bear in mind that for some of us it's been dry for a while. First rain after a dry period always brings on a spate of crashes as all the oily deposits dropped on the road haven't been washed away yet.
