Fell off.

[Spanner Man]

Morning all.
Good to hear you're alright Melody.....The same thing happened to me many years ago when dispatching, it was tiddling with rain, & the front wheel shot out from under me. did I get a handful of Keira Knightly lookalikes rushing to my aid? Did I hell! All I got was a C**K in a van hooting me so he could get to the diesel pump..
There are definitely advantages to being a Lady biker eh

Cheers.

Got up this morning with some aches and pains and a beautiful bruise,

but,


still came on the bike this morning


and,



the week end is upon us.

Suppose i had better tell you all about my little incident, I will post here in the vain hope that it gets missed and no one reads it!!

Happened at the weekend, first "off" since passing, a mighty 5 weeks now

I was just out having fun and ended up going down a dead end that ended with two houses, So attempting to turn around in one of the driveways.. hit an unexpected slope and down i went! bike on top of me, revving its ars$e off, hit the kill switch and looked around hoping no one saw, got out from underneath then wondered how the hell am i going to pick the bu$$er up!!

Well i managed it, must have been the adrenaline!

To be honest i am glad i got the first one out of the way!!

Glad to see you "back in the saddle"
Sometimes it's the best way. Don't let it get you down. Just put it in the "learn from" section of your memory
Gotta say that after both my "offs" I've been keen to get back on the bike again ASAP. That's not to say I've just jumped back on and not learnt anything.

I've learnt that if you're going to filter then do so with EXTREME caution.

I've learnt that if you're going to fly around bends then you'd better be able to stop in time when something unexpected appears on or around the bend.

I flew round a bend and found ... an unmarked junction so I have no excuse I didn't know the roads I was riding so should have taken more care.

Ah yes, I did something similar recently, dropped the damn thing trying to do a U-turn outside my building. I have no idea how I managed to get it oily side down again but my shoulders and back were aching for about three days afterwards!

Hey glad your ok, i had this with new boots my nan got me. I couldnt ride the bike properly, so had to go back home and change back to trainers, ok that was my little bike. Use them on the SV thou
