So... call me an idiot
I'm an idiot, and a bit of a sore idiot, nothing broken just a slider grazed, a brake pedal scuffed, a screw slighly ground down, the new leather jacket broken in, a bit of road rash through the draggins and a bit of experience gained.
Stupid stupid me took off out my drive, not 5 minutes after Kez said careful,the roads are icy( and there is no actual ice but the weather dropped to 3 C over night so its cool), any way I took off as per usual and not even into second gear and the bike is spinning up the road and stopping in front of next doors house, and I'm sitting in the middle of the road going "what just happened there?', I didnt even take off as hard as normally!
So this all happened less than 45 minutes ago and now I'm having a cuppa and checking the bike and topping up the coolant and starting to feel a twinge in the muscles in my side and across my ribs
heres a couple of pics, I did a nice job on that oggy knob, and the drive way just beyond that tree behind the bike is where I took off from.
And looking at the two scapes uo the road, the bike went further on its side than it had with me on it
