And another one gone
Another one bites the dust
I tried to pull into a farm entrance to let a car through this morning. Unfortunately I'd just ridden onto a section of black ice. Leant left and turned the bars, bike keeps going straight on and starts to slide out to the right underneath me, I corrected it, got back upright.....then the bike carried on going to the left and I had about a fifth of a second to decide how I was going down. :shock:
Managed to turn it into a slide so it didn't hurt too much, just a grazed knee. The driver behind stopped to make sure I was okay, but you know how I said it was a farm entrance.......
My jacket now smells of cow poo!
Oh well, I'm fine and the bike's fine. Hopefully the last fall of November!

Bails, stop mincing about.
You're lucky you'd slowed down and weren't going hell for leather, must have been some bovine intervention.
Too far? Ok, moove along now, nothing to see here.0
