Yep, that was the closest moment I have had to having an off since owning the bike, although it certainly tought me to ride at my own pace and not to try to keep up with the more experienced riders. Although for the 10 mins following it my confidence took a massive hit!

I went into a corner too fast and stupidly pulled on the front brake which meant that I carried on straight up the kerb on the outside of the corner and then jumped back off it. Luckilly I didnt fall off!

HAVE DEFINITELY LEARNT MY LESSON [-o<

No shame in that mate, we all done it. At least it's a learning point with no harm done :D

We are back safe too, Sorry for leading DaveP and Quiff off in the wrong direction, it made sense to be as I used to go through alderley edge up to the cat and fiddle so it kinda looked familiar but hey ho. thanks for pointing me in the right direction ;)

Was a great ride though, really enjoyed it, excellent scenery, nice roads, good company, what more could I want :)

Thanks Mister C, catch you all again sometime.

Shame about your off Wilky, get yourself roadworthy again, there will be another rideout soon no doubt! glad you are OK, thats the main thing at least.

Right, off to BBQ, have fun everyone :)
