    I'm sure kataflam will be along soon to explain how excessive speed was the cause here...

    Low sided 10 days ago, my right ankle is pleased to have company i.e. yours.

    Great that you are okay.

    Let me know what colour the cows were, I'll go and chuck some stones at the cows down here that are the same colour.

    geez Mr Hitcher - that is not good news. I did the same ride yesterday north to south and spend the first 3/4 of ride zig zagging in and out of the afore mentioned cow shite. Was taking it cautiously as where theres cow shite, theres normally a cow, waiting to leap out at me from the bushes

    Damm nice cruisey road apart from that though.

    anyway - at least not too much damage and glad the RA2's working for you. I extremely pleased with mine.

    Oh the challenges of rural roads... I commute on them every day. Sorry to hear of your incident H.
