I was on the M5 going down to Bristol, had been on the bike for a couple of hours already & not moving around so was cramping up a bit, so I was stretching my legs out a bit when I somehow let my right leg drop, it hit the tarmac at about 75mph and tucked right under itself, just missed going under the wheel! I fookin cacked meself!! I was in bloody agony for a while too - I pulled over at the services and was cursing like crazy after i got off the bike, and some nice old lady gave me an aspirin! Oh the shame of it all...

Maybe we should start our own club, like the wonky knee gang
I think Jester666 has also done the same thing aswell so i'm not alone wohoo For those who don't know what i'm on about i ran my foot over at this years AR and damaged the achillies in my right ankle.

Thankyou El Saxo for making me not feel alone and hope your ok mate.

Dammit you weren't supposed to tell anyone!!

Memo to self: Keep feet on footpegs, that's what they're there for...

PS My ankle seems to be ok now, no lasting damage, phew!

Physio has given me exercises for it and told me to go back in a month that was 2 weeks ago. Pooing it cos it might be a surgery jobby worse case scenario, that could shatter my season this year.

I'll keep fingers crossed for you then that the physio gives you good news when you go back - makes me realise mine could've been a lot worse.

In the meantime, do be careful taking your feet off the pegs to rest the ankle won't you!!

Gents, get yourself some Crash Bungs and use them to rest your weary legs on when stretching out! Please note this only works on naked & Half faired bikes.

+1 Nice long Motosliders were ace for this.

The alternative is to make a petrol stop and have a 10 minute walk, do some lunges (aka Ritchies after the North/South ) and get the blood circulating in your legs / ****.
