SVs no good at trialling
Yep...got first crash under my belt, all-be-it a very very slow speed one. Trying to turn the SVs through a narrow archway on a pothole-ridden, muddy farm track I accidentally dabbed the front brake. Down I went but got off fairly lightly with only a cracked fairing and dislodged indicator. As both these bits of damage had previously been re-fabricated with fibre-glass stuff it's no big loss. Very pleased no other pointy metal bits snapped.
Although it is 99% rider error I have to blame at least 1% on the fact that the mechanic at the garage had raised my idle speed to 2k and thus, it was harder to ride at a slow creep. Anyway, left shin is starting to swell up but it's a lesson learned and idle speed has now been pegged back to 1500 rpm. Stay away from dirt-tracks! |
