Someone up there is looking after me!

I sooooo nearly binned it this morning, turned right into a nice little B road that I know well on the way to work, it was very cold but dry and this is a nice little road, what Ididn't allow for as I accelerated was the overnight water leak that had now frozen and formed a nice ICE RINK FOR ABOUT 30 YDS! It was like a slower version of one of those horrible swervy wobbly 'oh my God he's gonna crash' moments when y0u watch the WSB rider crazily speed wobbling down the track and you just know he's gonna high side. Fortunately I didn't but I have never ever had the bike leant so far over first to the left, then the right and then the left again in a STRAIGHT line! I had time to think, 'shit I am definately coming off' but somehow I didn't, I can't claim skill kept me on, I just eased the throttle and didn't fight it, once I came out the other side............fear slowed me down!

Just a word of warning to the wise be careful out there, I consider myself to be a safe and steady rider but this was just poor forward planning and a lapse in concentration, thankfully someone up there is still looking out for me! Phew!

 

Glad you made it okay.

 

Glad to hear you kept it the right way up

 

Glad you and machine are ok Jim . There is always an amount of luck in any such incident, but luck 'plus' good riding skills probably saved ur bacon.

Good post, reminds us all to take care and be careful.

 

Phew. In my experience that is the best way to stay on: just stay calm and dont grab or touch anything, just let the bike sort itself out.

 

Maybe that's why she learned to fly.

 

absolutely! I was calm and she landed upright, it couldve been a lot worse

 

You def' know that someone 'up there' is looking after you after something like this........



PS.....A few deep scrapes, not even a skid mark.....on the road or in my boxers.......
