2 Wheels Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Sorry to here of your Off, and im glad your not hurt. I'm not being a smart ass or anything But,,,,,,,,,people really need to start scaning the road in front of them ! As well as looking into the distance to see whats happening, Scan the road a few meters in front of you, it only takes a split second and allows you time to avoid something lying on the road ! Also riding in the centre of your lane is not always the best place to be as all sorts of dirt / stones / oil, (anything really) gathers here. This is especialy the case on smaller back roads or country roads. Thats my 2 for today !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ttaskmaster Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Sorry to hear about this, mate. Sometimes, you just can't avoid the shit. Glad to hear it wasn't a bad one and that there's not too much damage to you or the bike. Best wishes for your swift return to the roads and many far better days thereafter!!
