On my old SV650S I accelerated a bit soon coming off a hump-backed bridge on a very narrow road, in the dark, just as the forks were extending. Next thing I knew my screen had smacked me in the visor and my headlights were blinding me. I still have no idea how I landed it and stopped without dropping it or hitting something.
riding in thick fog thought the best way to keep on the road was to follow the white lines in the road , so was looking down rarther than looking forward when i did saw a big blue signe with an arrow on it , just as i hit the roundabout wich was ok as it was coverd in grass untill i braked and hit the only manhole cover on it , had to ride home in first gear as i broke the gear shift !!
17, took the L plates off the RD250, took a mate on the back down the motorway to the youth club ice skating outing for a drink (added up the points yet). Crossed behind a mini on a rounderbout and he braked. My front wheel went up the back of the mini and got stuck on the handle. My mate, falling off the back grabbed my colllar nearly strangling me, his feet high up in the air either side of me. I braked, turned off my lights and beat it out of Southampton like a scaulded cat.
