Goddam Trunks and their F*@kin Diesel !!!!!

[Sash]

Hmmmmmm, maybe I should've put this in the flame section.

This morning, get up, look out - Tis ure typical scottish morning - grey and raining! Get on the waterproofs and head on out to work.

Thinks to self- must keep an eye on road surface - for all the good that did me - pull onto roundabout, keeping one eye on the car in front and nextthing, back tyre slides out from under me and down I go, head and knee clattering of the tarmac... bugger!

Car behind me, just goes around and keeps going! but the guy behind him (a biker) stopped to help pick up and move VFR to the side.

Turns out there has been a lorry out gushing the damned stuff everywhere in town today! As I called it into police/council to make sure same thing didnt happen to someone else.

Thankfully you are ok though. Something really needs to be done about diesel spills, have you signed up to the anti spills campaign?

The other thing that is really doing my head in at the moment is mud left all over the roads by farmers.

[Sash]

Yeah, I signed up for that a while ago - may do it again a few more times

I'm ok, knee is killin and a bit stiff, but nothing damaged - the bike on the other hand is feeling a tad sorry for itself. Right hand side fairing cracked off - god, thats a horrible noise when cars drive over them- Back break pedal is off, the rearset sheared off, mirror gone, and new mini indicators.

But tis a robust wee bike, we'll be back on road by Tuesday *fingers crossed*

good to hear your ok though!

[ProXimaCore]

Argh no!!!! Sorry to hear that Sash. Hope you're alright and it's not going to cost much to fix. Good thing you put back getting the paint redone. Shame it had to happen at all though. Did your new lid take a bashing aswell?

horse poo, that annoys me the most, i mean come on they make dog owners clear that up, but people can walk around it, when your riding a bike at 60mph you end up going straight though it messing your bike making you smell and when its on corners is slippy as anything!

[jck]

The main thing is you are well. I hope you manage to get your bike sorted okay...

Ouch Sash, sorry to hear that

Least you're feeling better now though and not badly hurt

[True Blue]

Never nice coming off a bike is it? I remember having a mix of being angry, annoyed, gutted and embarrassed. But after your bikes all fixed you soon forget about it
