Don't ride faster then your guardian angel can fly
Y'all goin? If so I'll chuck some plastic bags over my feet to keep my slippers dry and do a backroad crawl up to Cambridge. I'll wait at the BP service station by the church/craft shop thingy. I'm the fat guy on a custard yellow Trumpy..........pretty hard to miss really.........

Hi, a very red faced update.......
I'm fine, the bike is fine (a few little scratches but nothing major).
What happened? Well, basically I cocked up. I didn't think the whole semi thing through very well, and when i got past it, i was going too fast.![]()
I had the choice of:
a. breaking hard to make the corner....get run over by a truck
b. breaking hard and not being on 2 wheel.....get run over by a truck and whatever was coming the other way.
c. go straight through the corner (hopefully dodging whatever was coming, which thankfully was nothing) and try and stay upright at the end.
I went with C, but got the last little bit wrong.
Anyway, I am thinking long and hard about it, it was a really stupid thing to do, and I was riding out of my abilities.
Sorry for being a prat and binning out on what was a really good day, appart from the obvious, I really enjoyed it. And to those that stoped to help me, a huge thanks. Can you either reply to this, or PM me so I know who you were?
Thanks again, and sorry.
