Red face My first crash :-(
Yep, had my first off this year.

Have only beed riding for 2 years so i guess its not that big a surprise......

Was riding slowlyish around the country lanes near woking, gong round a tightening lefthander when the traffic stopped suddenly to let someone out of a driveway ahead.

I braked too harshly and locked the front wheel as was still turning...... result lowside on my T9s and dend in Mercs back bumper.....

Ho Hum..... I guess we all make mistakes

Dropped my 998s going up a kerb to get into a shop for its MOT, cost approx £700 to put right, now all I`m weighting for is my seat & panels back from ProTwins!

Dropped the 996 at 2 mph but that wasn't my fault (broken shock absorber).

Nothing else this year Got off lightly, really.

no luck, sorry to hear that mister. Just checked your profile, when you coming for a ride out at Box, and by boating do you mean yachts?
