Today I had an interesting experience. Checking my mirrors for taxi's on my tail, I hit a speed bump (not painted of course, black on black high contrast type!). I was in first gear going slowly maybe about 20km/hr.
This is what seemed to happen. Front wheel bumped up on the bump, causing my bars to rotate back and therefore decellerate. Front wheel went down causing the bars to rotate again an roll the throttle open and accellerate pushing the front end down even harder as the rear dug in as well as mounted the bump. The net result was a neck snapping jerk. Quite an awakening after scanning my mirrors! No, accident, not even close, but a good shake! Has anyone else had simililar experiences?
Just wondering what kind of hazard speed bumps present to motorcyclists (the blind stupid type, like me!)
