Re: Been a few off's lately..
bignev, strikingly similar actually.
Only mine was about 40mph, over cooked the rear brake, didn't scrub enough speed & binned it. Neither me or the bike hit the wall, luckily. Only minimal damage to the bike.
I had a car with an old couple stop (they saw it) and a van driver offer to stick the bike on the back & give me a lift. I was a good 50miles ish from home.
The bike was ridable. The first couple of miles were treated with extreme caution. I wasn't sure if I'd missed anything on the visual inspection I did by the roadside.
After that, business as usual. Until I went for the back brake again & almost put my foot on the floor. Oops.
Not riding isn't an option, I just get on with it. You ride hard, you fall hard.
Off days tend to get shrugged off pretty quickly. There's nothing like jumping back on the horse straight away.
