It was a red one with a Black frame at a cafe, somewhere on the road to Kiddy.

Later somewhere near Clent I came across a broken car stuck right in the exit of an island. Went round it, wasn't going that fast or accelerating that hard.
Don't know if it had leaked or going wide put me in the shit build up but the back went viciously enough to have me off the side like a cowboy stuntman. Then there was about 30 yards of I've got it, bugger, got it, bugger. Then I stopped at a jaunty angle and fell over sideways.

One scuffed lever, one scuffed bar end and a bent bolt on the rearsets. At least I know the tip over switch works.

I bet it looked quite impressive. I got into positions like those stunt kiddies do. I banged both my feet on the floor trying to stop on and I did a hollywood slew to a stop sideways. Spolied it a bit by falling over, but could have been worse.

Thinking about it the tyre was caked in dusty crud from the centerline to more or less the left edge. Which is odd unless there's something on the tyre for the crud to stick to.

Sorry to hear this. Hope your pulled bits aren't too painful.

So more of a topple than you doing an impression of a Barnes Wallace bouncing bomb along the road .....

..... which is good.

I was going to commiserate but you've got to start somewhere .... a pulled shoulder this week .... a bit more practice and one day you'll be pulling the girls

then you won't need to be pulling that thing in your hand ...

Cheers chaps. Guess who took the crash bungs off last week. Asking for it really...
And Andy, it's nice to see that the traditional biker response is alive and well.
Are you badly hurt? No, lets take the piss then.

I think I might go in the fridge and find some medication.

Put it down to a good save John due to your excellent bike handling skills - glad you're ok.

Glad you are ok and the damage is easily fixable - would be sad to see another Falco go the CAT C/D route.

Bikes are replaceable anyway, Squids aren't!

Indeed! Glad the bike has come away relatively unscathed and you've dented your pride more than your body.

Will you lot please stop throwing your bikes at random hedges, verges, bits of tarmac and the like?
a. you're fast using up the supply of spares that are about
b. you're endangering a relatively endangered species anyway (falco)
c. I want to be able to get insurance on an Aprilia next year (you from Aprilia RiderSite? errm yeah.. why? Sod off, all you lot do is throw bikes down the road..)

ithankyew.

i would just like to point out that some here do not throw their bikes down the road.... they do it properly on a track....

Others just sit on theirs on the track and wait for the earth to rotate to move them
