Firstly, sorry to hear you came off and I hope you're not too badly hurt. Secondly, if your crash helmet contacted the road in any way, replace it. Don't ever wear it again. Thirdly, hope the bike doesn't need too much in the way of repairs. Oh, and in case you missed the point, if you hit your crash helmet on the road, get a new one and throw the old one away.

Please tell me these people aren't allowed to breed.

I'll say yes with the same caveat as Bippo.

£115!!!! At that price I'd at least want gold plated

Apart from those minor niggles it was a good ride out.

Done

Agree with Slice on the CCTV. Can't move in London without being on camera. Hope she mends fast and maybe the BBC Philli will let her postpone her audition.

That Irish man could be my father in law. If he's not eating or sleeping he's playing golf.

This bares repeating, not just on oil patches but generally in wet conditions. Control your speed with the throttle, using engine braking as much as possible, and be a lot more gentle with your brakes.
