Hi-Ho Silver! Or, the dangers of parking on a speed hump!

Post by Steve_D »

Called in at my friends on the way home today. Squeezed my scoot in between two cars, right on a speed hump. Got off it okay, put it on its centre stand and thought nothing of it apart from the fact that the rear wheel was about 10 inches off the ground. When I got back on it, I tried to rock it off its stand like I usually do and it just kept going back, and back, and back until the rear wheel hit the ground. Felt like I was going to do a backflip! I just had to get off and take a picture!

Paddle harder. I can hear banjo music!

must have been a strange feeling, being gobbled up by the tarmac from behind :)
I cant seem to remember.. I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way.
