Bit of an off today
Only 50 yards from my door!
Turning on to the main street, started to accelerate and the next thing the bike had gone from under me, with me thinking "what the f**k happened there?". Thank god for R&G's - only damage was a broken indicator, snapped end off rear brake lever and a bit of a scuff to the front edge of the can. Oh and a nice chamfer ground onto the crash bung.
Started bike & gently rode home then got the car out to go to the club (now late for squash game) and the offside car wheel spun at exactly the same place. So on the way back I check and sure enough, a nice metre square oily patch, maybe diesel - mystery solved.
Cheap lesson I guess - could have been much worse, so beware of cold damp roads and watch out for oil & diesel patches. As for me, swollen knuckles on right hand was the only damage (apart from dented pride).
Cheers Keith
