Bit of a Spill

fuzzygothWell 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.
