IIRC TSM had a similar 'incident' a long time ago involving a straw hat . . .

Same happened to me when I hit a clear piece of corigated plastic (the sort you see on car ports) the size of a fag packet - bit harder to see as well !

Same happened to me many years back on a big fast roundabout near Enfield. I was going about 40 and almost ended up hitting oncoming traffic as I exited.
I remember I sat at the roadside for a good half hour just shaking after that one. Must've smoked a whole pack of ciggys too. In retrospect, do you think you could have given yourself a chance to see and avoid it by doing anything differently? |

I think the sun was in my eyes at the time. I'm usually very wary of the road surface trying to avoid anything that might give me a puncture. I just didn't see it. I think that's what sh!t me up the most cos if I had seen it I would have expected something.
The sexy bird at the side of the road didn't help my concentration either. They have no idea of the knock-on-effect of wearing virtually bugger all at the side of the road has! ![]() ![]() |

My advice for you is to only ride south of the river, the sun never shines over there!
