Yup after 5 years of ownership, I've finally dropped the Guzzi, ..literally.
On the way to work this morning,..sitting at the front of the queue at the lights off the motorway onto The Terrace, a huge gust of wind came tearing up and caught the left side of the bike,. I tried desperately to hold it up, but it had that much force and the bike bike is no lightweight, so down she went.
A guy in a 4WD jumped out of his wagon, raced over to help me pick it up. Asked if I was okay and proceeded to tell me it's too nice a bike to do that to..lol ( a bit tongue in cheek and trying to make me laugh I think).
Injuries? Got a banged up knee. The bike isn't too bad, ..only a few scratches on the RHS bike and a bent brake lever.
I think it was more of a demoralising and embarrassing episode than anything else.
Amazing how people sit in their car and don't help you, I know for a fact I would have jumped out and helped had it been someone else in the same situation.
Anyway,..rant over, time for a strong coffee !!!!
