bit too much throttle + slippy roads = ?
yep, an off, just round the corner from the bike shop. busted indicator, slight crack in the fairing but the crash bung did its job.
back wheel spun sending the bike one way, then the other, then i thought i'd recovered it and just as i thought that i was sliding along the road. low speed, more embarrassing than anything else. told you grinch, this is no weather to be on 2 wheels !!  im fine, as is the bike, so no harm done. be careful out there people. |

Bugger. Glad there's not too much damage.

Glad you ok, people are pretty brave going out at this time of year, some obviously have no choice though.

Could be a lot worse, fairing is a pain though as not many blue ones around! Cheers all.

It'll be the car tomorrow. And then a sidecar outfit. Possibly at 100mph. Fingers crossed...
