Bit of a Spill

[fuzzygoth]

Well I had a little bit of a tumble this morning, I took the

wrong lane on the central ring road and had a mini adventure

resulting in my approaching a set of traffic lights in the

city centre about 7:20am. It was a little wet and while

slowing at the traffic light I skidded a little but recovered.

Unfortunatly, My motorcycle luggage that I got last night from

freecycle had slipped down (obviously not secure enough) and

that whole combination pulled the bike down.



Fortunatly I was going very slow in first gear so it litterly

just fell over but both rider and bike where fine, picked it

up and assured pedestrians that I was okay and rode off. I think

I now understand the in's and outs of the clutch so no more

stalling (we'll see on the way home) once I understood I didn't

stall on the way in.

I think that happens to *everyone* :D

It's a bit like Chess -you have to think several moves ahead so you don't get messed up before!
