Aah, that will be the roundabout at Farnham then I guess.

My worst ever moment was joining the M27 eastbound at junction 5. Caning it around the lovely left hand bend off the roundabout onto the slip road - front wheel hit a cats eye, knocks me off line a tad. Bike starts to drift wider and wider until I think oh ****, that is the white line at the edge of the road.

Carry on drifting until the bike is off the road in the chippings and I am officially off roading.

Stayed off the brakes, and backed off the accelerator. Managed to throw the bike back onto the road just before the armco started - looked at the speedo once back onto the road and I am still doing 70 mph

I tend to steer well clear of the cats eyes now!
