Droppy, Stally or Crashy McGee? You decide! - SV650.org

11-02-09, 02:39 PM

So had the least dignified falling down moment of my career last night: Rush hour A40, stuck behind a queue of slower bikes, so I take the filter lane between lanes 1 and 2 to get past them. Am pulling back into the 2-3 lane filter safely and securely, comfortably 50 yards ahead of the other bikes when I stall the bike with it on full right lock, the bike falls to the left and I neglect to save it.

Bike then falls over right in the path of the (thankfully stationary) traffic, and I watch the bikes I'd been stuck behind pull past as I manfully wrestled it upright again.

So what do we reckon? Crashy McGee, Stally McGee or Droppy McGee?

Oh, by the way: damage is limited to a slightly scuffed crash bung and my beautiful, beautiful pride.

Feel free to

Wasn't sure if that last poll option would get through: for those who wish to know it's somewhere between CUrvy and poiNTY...

Fecky for me - and it doesnt qualify for a McGee tag either - more a McIdiot one.

Just because TSM managed to stop the A40 the other month, doesn't mean you have to as well.....

Hope the road is fine - mind you would we notice another pothole on that road.

:P

Glad you are ok

God that's worse than when I kicked my bike over on the hard shoulder of the elevated bit of the a40 and had to get a passing motorist to help me pick it up.

No it is.

It is.

Really it is....

(hmmm)
