Sorry to hear that Cibby, I'm glad that it sounds like only minor injuries. Its easy to panic and make a basic error that has nasty consequences - dont beat yourself up too much over it! Happens to the best of us, and it sounds like you are taking a lesson from it which is the best thing you can do in the circumstances. Heal up quick, ya hear?

You managed to survive; either you pray to the right god or you didn't fuck up too badly!

Riding courses sound like a good idea. It is awesome to see that you are thinking ahead in a positive way.

See you on the road soon

Good to hear your ok, bike can be replaced.

**skelstar** · 20th March 2006, 11:40

That sucks Cibby. We hate lessons like that. Look after yourself.

**DMNTD:Me** · 20th March 2006, 11:41

Bloody hell mate!! Happy to see that you're sweet and judging by those pic's of where your bike's at you are also pretty fortunate...

**Paul in NZ** · 20th March 2006, 11:42

Sorry to hear that and glad you are OK.

I tend to get a bit 'grab for the brakes' ish myself when I see gravel mid corner (thank goodness for Guzzi linked brakes) but funnily enough, braking mid corner like that will just about always spit you off and yet hitting gravel will only 'maybe' spit you off..

Very hard to get the brain not to react though!

Best Regards
