I have already. I got up, picked the bike up and rode back home; someone fixed a couple of quick things for me and I carried on riding that same day. Still, wet surfaces literally paralyze me now

....as do all potholes, loose chipings, gravel, man holes and basically every type of uneven surface... can someone reassure me my bike isn't going to topple over just cos I go over a wonky bit of road :/
trouble is, I don't know why I skidded hence the paranoia now! the road there wasn't the best but the pothole I went over that day wasn't THAT bad... dunno... maybe there was something on the road at the time...

Another mathematical equation:

Thai Road + Mountain = Steep bend + Brylcreem puddle (or similar) = £18,000 hospital bill (- £75 dinner with handsome surgeon at which he pays) +/- knackered elbow x 3 years = test ride in Norwich on Saturday [+ £6000 \ need to clear some space in garage] = law of probability ^ riding more often (?) x abuse from everyone on Soho Massive for *choice of motorcycle {- Supervox} (-*exception luggage to be utilised as cake carrying devices)

Get them to come south and bring them along - if I can't take my mum to AR you can do a Soho family get together!

Sniff, I should be meeting soulkiss around oxford street somewhere tonight cos he knows the way. Soho is a nightmare cos it's all one way streets so unless you know exactly where to go, you'll be rinding around forever. I have in the past. I remember first time ever trying to even get into Soho in the first place since you can't turn into oxf st.... I was riding around for about an hour. Eventually I gave up and parked somewhere off oxf st opposite side of soho....I was very late to meet my mates!
