it had to happen
north south .. just got back.. had an off. !! lovely morning best roads ever - realy enjoying it- got me chick strips down a bit- then the heavens opened- we stopped. put wet suits on- carried on.. all in all we did over 160 miles that day and then 3 miles from back to base- I had slowed right down to about 30mph.. cos the rain was really getting to me . approaching a left hand bend- Peter and Lissa behind me and boomm.. back end fish taield flipped under me on a lowside sending the bike spinning on its R and G into the other lane on other side and me a nice fly through the air and a roly poly in to a kerb and grass verge and a wooden post. , bruised and peed off. and bike a bit bent but nowt major - rode it to the campsite the 3 miles after- rode it home- all 4 hours home !.. nerves a bit shattered- the guys will tell you how slow I rode home from the accident spot. ! wimp.. unsure when or if I will g out onit again- kinda rocked me.. dont know what I did wrong.. few ideas - aquaplaned maybe braked but didnt think I did and pete said he didnt see my brake light - Amarko said my tyre was wierd - was repelling water like it had oil or something right down the middle. anyway - me OK.. just sad - angry and hurt .. however- oh my god It could have been a lot worse- no car coming other way or wudda been bad bad injuries or goodnight vienna.. thanks to all involved for cheering me up and for assisiting- sorry I wasnt my usual gobby self therafter. guess what- pics to follow... .... .

and the damage
Bung really did the job.! bung wrecked- few scratches - brake lever pooped on rear- front one scratched (fekin pazzo too !! ) .. screen bust - cheap double bubble so will get another cheap one. back panel scratched. all in all not too bad for a flippy spin down the road and the bike wizzing off like a skateboard on its side- was really expecting it to have mashed up everything and a split tank whn it was picked up- so I am begining to look on the brighter side that I am still here and bike is mendable for about £60 ..

You ****.
Glad you and the new steed are OK (ish) I'll take the p155 properly at the annual rideout Or maybe I'll just sympathise with you and get you a beverage. Shandy isn't it? |
