    Yeehaa, my first little bin.

    Nothing major, just embarassing. Arrived at work and was riding into the carpark. The seal is really smooth concrete and there's always oil slicks in their cause I don't pay my staff much so they all have shitty cars. It came out on me and so I did the leg dance (Lou's seen me do this before) but it was past the point of no return. Assuming the MV importers probably don't even carry brochures, I didn't really want to damage it so I chucked as much of my body as possible under it. Bikes are much heavier on their sides and quite hot.

    Sore knee and my little leg hurts. Bike good with a small scratch.

    Bugger! Glad you threw yourself under it. It's better to sacrifice the less valuable thing.

    Ahhh Finn.....sounds like your riding presence with The_Dover is having negative effects......Police appear from the vacum of space, bikes crash and burn, blood spurts and women wail. He is indeed "a bad, bad man!

    Did many people see mate? could be a bit embarassing with an audience eh. A mate of mine tried riding his RGV like a squid on our old school field infront of a girls soccer team and yep it was gonna happen!...sideways, back the otherway, fishtailed a couple more times then down she goes. Shit I was trying my hardest not to laugh.

    Not good chucking yourself under the bike to protect it. I did that to the Blackbird in similar circumstances when I first had it and ended up popping a rib!

    Glad all is well and that there isn't terminal ego damage.
