Down again(of my own free will)
 
No joke i'm not happy unless i'm trying to crash i think :smt078 come off a roundabout on the gas, as i went to go round a woman in a car who obviously thought she was Kimi Raikonen, apexed out of the corner so she was right over the right handside of the lane, just as i was overtaking, so i find the kerb of the central reservation sorta thing tyres scraping on that, get her straight and realise theres a second central reservation for me to run into, only this one has railings and i'm charging to it at 70, cranked over to get her outta the path hit the kerb(one of them sorta slanted ones) took off and landed otherside of lane and dropped it on the grass(because i woulda ended in a ditch if i'd tried to hold it up). Bike was on top of me, heres the good bit...... No damage to either :D S'all gravy baby. But i am going to slow down. Does this count as an off?

The gods were with me then, but they wanted to teach me a lesson :rolleyes: I am a lucky Mofo!

Definitely an off. Try to calm down a bit young fella.

When you get your breath back give the bike a really good going over, there may be damage you missed.

This is something i thought, could have buckled the wheels, either time i hit the kerbs. There is some grass on the bar ends.

If you'd come to a stop still astride your bike it wouldn't strictly be an off as you'd still be on it lol...if you come to a stop in any other position...even if you were still touching the bike then it's definitely an off! Obviously it would depend on who you were telling about your off/not off and whether you wanted them to react sympathetically or think your a kewl stunt rider type of a guy :D lol

PS. Glad you're both ok!!

If you ended up UNDER the bike, rather than ON TOP of the bike, defintely sounds like an off to me.
Thankfully you're ok and if the gods do have a lesson for you, I hope you learn it learn quickly.
