Binned Her

[nothingflash]

Glad your ok.Good advert for wearing proper gear even if your just popping down the road.

Yep definitely...

[metalhead]

ahhh well, hope it doesnt keep you off the road too long

glad you are ok

[PirateJafa]

Crikey, you'd almost think that something should be have done about those roads ages ago?





That said, i've thrashed through there a good many times at a decent rate of knots without trouble. But I know that road fairly well now, and so take the smoothest lines. Where smooth-ish lines are possible. Which isn't very often.

Putting the pics up now

Do you know what happened? Did u lock up the front wheel?

Don't think so, I've made it a habit not to brake mid-corner

What sort of pies were they?

Steak onion and cheese

Always blow on the pie.

Fuck, that must have been why I crashed!!

Hi Danae - So what happened then?

How do you low side on your way to the shops?

Did you hit the front brake in the bend and put her down or did you just over lean?

Didn't hit the front brake. Overlean may be a possibility.

[Real_Wolf]

probably more likely to be a change of the road surface, like a small patch of diesel or dirt or something.

Overleaning to lowside requires you to either lean spastically, or lean alot more than I think you do, or else have really rubbish tyres (even with barely any tread they should still grip for quite an angle)

You are the expert...

[Real_Wolf]

yeah, with that old tyre I used to have if anything was slightly wrong with the road surface it'd decide that going forwards is boring and it wants to go sideways

[Ragingrob]

Bummer that sucks... Glad your ok most importantly, pretty wicked your bike didn't really suffer either though too!

Do you know whether the rear or front slipped?

[Danae]

Pics up now (first post)

Not sure...maybe the rear? I only remember that skidding noise tyres make (after she fell over) and the scraping of the bike as she slid down the road.

Yep I did indeed. But I know the cause of that one: rainy day, small scooter wheels, tar snakes and going a bit too fast for the corner.

Nice bike - glad to hear not too much damage.

Up and at 'em girl
