Oh! No! Loss of confidence....
 
Ok...After an off 6ish weeks ago and another "drop" this week I came to the conclusion that I really have "lost it".
I had no confidence in the bikes handling especially on right handers and right hand junctions...
I went out on the mito for a small blat practising my right hand turns...still very tentative:(
Oh! No! I thought, I am never gonna get back to it again....How can this happen to me????
Tonight I decided to nip out to Gunthorpe and practice a few right handers and stop making excuses to get back on the duke.....and...er...
Whilst pulling out of the petrol station I noticed that my hand was "touching" the tank....
When I dropped it I'd only gone and bent the bars out of alignment!...DOH!
:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:
And one ride home later all better!

thought I'd share that with you all...I thought it was funny!

i'll get my coat...and my blonde hairpiece:burn:

Liza , Its in your mind . I no and you no the SS is a great bike .it will do anything you ask it . Find that bend, set her up tip her in and pull her round,if its not happening then check your suspension . Maybe soften the rear a bit on the adjuster. 4D

Next time you meet Lisa ask her to tell you about the condensed milk episode then you wouldnt have her anywhere near your kitchen!!
