Bloody car drivers

Well i decided to enjoy the weather today with a mate, on an A road at 50mph little diahatsu van in front turns left into junction car waiting at same junction looks up the road but not down (towards me), i was doing 30ish luckily and slammed on the anchors...... he came poodling out still and look dead at me as i was remonstrating with him and lo and behold the cat decided too have a little lie down. Smack. Thank god for crash bungs.

Just needed to vent

yeah got off before she went fully down, makes your hands shake when it happens

Glad you're OK, yeah sure does shake you up.

I hit some Kentish tarmac a month ago - was lying on the road in the same second I realised I was in trouble.

Might take a little time for the bumps and stiffness to take hold - lets hope you'll escape all of that, and the bike isn't damaged.

yes im ok, i was amazed that i managed to haul all 187kg of her up im only 5ft 7in and about 10.5stone, amazing what adrenaline does

Sorry to hear about your off. I managed to keep mine shiney side up for 5-6 years then fell off three times in the space of 2.
I'm a bit taller and embarrassingly heavier - It's still quite a heave to lift her up though.
Managed to escape with scuffs to the bike and my leathers. My speeds ranged from 5mph to about 50mph. On the way back from Surf & Turf a diddery auld yin pulled out in front of me - fortunately I saw it coming and slowed right down. Right of way means hee-haw anyway as I'd rather have slowed and let someone cut across that enjoyed my right of way all the way up until I hit them.

All praise the crash bung!

Cheers
