Well, it was my own fault. I went out to visit a couple of mates when the snow had melted and the roads were just a bit slushy. I stayed a bit longer than planned and as some of you may know its a bit icey in Norfolk tonight. As I was pulling out of their driveway as soon as my back tyre went on the pavement it skidded out! Was like being on a damn ice rink. I ended up dropping the NSR (now called Nicky) and managing to move my leg out the way so i didn't get caught underneath. Still grazed my leg, but the only thing that is really hurt is my pride...................... Embarassed

lol. Thought my mirror was bent but it had just been moved on its hinge luckily. Definately learnt my lesson about driving in the ice, even if I do feel like a complete pratt!

Unlucky, at least there was no damage (other than your pride Wink

I'm just hoping it doesn't snow again tonight I've got a 400 mile trip down to Weston on the bike tomorrow...
