Diesel Spills
Come on mighty org and give me your wit and wisdom
Looking at fuel spills today (road safety day for me today) How many of you have come off because of a fuel spill.?? This can include spillages on petrol station forecourts - just want to get an idea of how bad it is for a wee bit of research thank you in advance (for those going to the GM I'll make truffles) Last edited by Quedos; 12-05-11 at 12:23 PM. |

Re: Diesel Spills
Skidded on the approach to a roundabout. The bike didn't stop at the giveway but thankfully there was a gap in the traffic which allowed me to have sex with the roundabout, i.e. I got the opportunity to mount it without formal introductions.
