bit too much throttle + slippy roads = ?
 

yep, an off, just round the corner from the bike shop. busted indicator, slight crack in the fairing but the crash bung did its job.

back wheel spun sending the bike one way, then the other, then i thought i'd recovered it and just as i thought that i was sliding along the road. low speed, more embarrassing than anything else.

told you grinch, this is no weather to be on 2 wheels !! :-)

im fine, as is the bike, so no harm done. be careful out there people.

Bugger. Glad there's not too much damage.

Glad to hear you got off lightly

my gixer was loosing grip and spinning up the other day when i was out, sorry to hear about your off mate :(

Glad you ok, people are pretty brave going out at this time of year, some obviously have no choice though.

Ar*e! Sorry to hear this mate but could be worse - bugger about the crack in the fairing though. i'm just off out now - I'll take extra care, BBC says it's -2 here. I always leve my steel panniers on in winter in case i low side.

Could be a lot worse, fairing is a pain though as not many blue ones around! Cheers all.

Same with the red i had on my 636, rare and expensive 2nd hand.

Damn straight. I had the 750 fishtailing up the A3 earlier just by winding the throttle on a bit at 40mph. I don't think I had it over 8000 rpm all day.

It'll be the car tomorrow. And then a sidecar outfit. Possibly at 100mph. Fingers crossed...
