sorry to hear about the off. if you learned to cook a bit, it wouldnt be a problem...... roast chicken is fairly easy to master. My favourite quick "recipes" are to shove a bulb of garlic and a lemon cut in half up its guts before roasting, or smear sambal oelek (chili paste) on top before roasting. quick, easy and no danger of falling off......

Soz to hear about your off, but, pertinent that you posted, though.

I'm not riding to much at the mo & every time I get on the bike my head is initially fried trying to take in all the info around me, road surface, road user behaviour, etc etc etc. Fook load of thinkin to be done on a bike all the time.

I usually take a couple of hits of the P pipe, that has the effect of slowing things down and generally making the world a more pleasant place.

I did actually LOL about the "This is the tenderest chicken I have ever eaten" comment.

P speeds things up and makes you aggressive [think you're invulnerable].

Smoke weed/marijuana - THAT slows you down and make you a safe mellow rider...

That sucks about your accident. Especially since you were doing the right thing.
Could have been worse though.

The way I approach roundabouts is to make sure you can brake in time or accelerate away from any cars on the roundabout. Regardless of how they indicated. Especially in the rain, if I had been in your situation I probably would have accellerated to get away from the danger. Dont trust indicators!

Um, I ride a Hyosung GV250. Aceleration is not her strongest point.

Hyos dont have alot of strong points...

Glad your ok man, the great thing about small incidents like this, is you learn a good lesson with minimal damage, nothing beats experience,
Hopefully it doesnt rattle your nerves to much, I came off a round about in the dry, was been a bit of a knob and gave the bike some beans when I hit the apex, except I done it on a man hole cover.. Lmao, I didnt get shaken up, but I have a thing about man hole covers now, I used to know they were no good, but I never kept an eye out for them, now I do.

iT'S CHEAPER TO BUY TWO FROZEN CHICKENS AT THE SUPERMARKET AND COOK THEM YOURSELF. bETTER STILL, HAVE A CHICKEN COOP AND YOU'LL GET EGGS TOO. dON'T GET ATTACHED TO YOUR CHOOKS BECAUSE YOU'LL HAVE TO CHOP THEIR HEADS OFF WITH AN AXE WHEN YOU WANT A FEED.

wHEN THE DAY COMES, HOLD THE CHOOK BY BOTH LEGS AND LAY IT'S HEAD GENTLY ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK WHILST SLOWLY RAISING YOUR AXE. tHE CHOOK BLINKS BUT DOESN'T USUALLY SEEM TOO CONCERNED. sMITE THE HEAD OFF AND RELEASE THE LEGS. LET THE CHOOK GO AND IT'LL RUN QUITE A LONG WAY. iT'S QUITE FREAKY HAVING GUSHING TRAILS OF BLOOD AROUND THE HOUSE. aLSO PEOPLE AT ROUNDABOUTS ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO KILL OTHER PEOPLE ON MOTORBIKES

**nathanwhite** · 20th October 2011, 21:42

mY GOD. YOU HAVE THE SAME KEYBOARD PROBLEM AS ME. hOW DO i STOP IT? iT'S DRIVING ME CRAZY. pEOPLE SAY i'M BEING RUDE IN EMAILS AND INSTANT MESSAGING BUT no IT'S THE KEYBOARD i'M TRYING TO TELL THEM.

seriously, how do you miss two paragraphs of caps lock?

In that case, he should not run over bicycles when the bike is at an angle. If he were nice and upright, it should be OK provided he weren't to get tangled up in those pesky pedal things...
