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!

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
