Well I got back from Nurburg and completed 3 succesful laps of the ring. One of which was in the wet and was probably the scariest thing i've ever done. More scary infact than when I was riding back to my hotel hooning it down a nice open road at a very silly speed before turning a corner and being faced with a large roundabout.
OMFG!!! Hit the brakes but not much time to stop, what do I do now? Two options, one was to try and lean the bike round and take the first exit right, however with the tightness of the corner and the speed I was doing I would more than like have pegged out and low sided the bike.
So the second and final answer was to hit the roundabout straight on and hope for the best. So I hit the roundabout, fly up and then off this thing, before landing sideways in the grass on the otherside. Im then thrown off and slide off into the road.
We check the bike afterwards and the main damage seems to be on the front wheel which is bent to ****. Forks seem fine
But im waiting for the insurance company to cart her back so I can do a full assesment of the bike.
I survived the accident as you can see with little more than a scraped shoulder where my bloody expensive belstaff jacket ripped apart
All my leathers stayed together fine and are only scuffed.
Anyway, talk over, the moral of the story is, fear roundabouts!!! LOL
