One thing becomes apparent when you get older, you don't seem to bounce as easy or recover as quick as when your younger.


Tripped over my two left feet one day and hit the ground like a ton of bricks, and was sore for a couple of days later, so falling off a bike at speed wouldn't be much fun at all.

Sorry to hear that, Neil. The fact that you're able to post here is good, though. Could have been MUCH worse!

If it's any consolation to you, I lost my right-hand air scoop protector (black plastic piece) yesterday, somewhere out on the road...

Neil, glad you're ok. (Sounds like you're ok) The bike can/will be fixed, no worries there.

How about you? What injuries do you have? What protective gear were you wearing?
How did the gear perform?

So you overcooked a corner, front end wash out? Sounds like the typical low side....
.....or did you lose clearance on the rear and the back end came around?

Let us know what you need. Rest and heal. Cheers laddie!
