Discovered the joy of tractor mud on corners on single track lanes (Welsh mud & moss seem particularly slippy) Scrubbed most of the speed by slidding it along the left banking, then laid it down (reasonably) gently on the right hand side, (anyone got a cheap wind deflector please )
Gonna push it out into the rain shortly & see how much other damage there is after the mud is gone

Well at least you sound ok!
Sounds like you slid better than your scoot.

Yep, I'm not bad thanks Just a couple of pulled muscles, ibuprofen for breakfast & now 'good to go'. Not sure how I managed to seperate half of the sole from my boot Will nip it down the shoe repairer in the market this afternoon & see what he says

Bern
Sorry to hear you dropped the scooter
But glad you are ok . keep smiling summer is on its way .

Cheers Alan Couple more pills & a soak in a rodox bath, I'm pretty much sorted bud

Will get on eblag tonight & order bits, need both belly pans, left side is split in two & right side is gouged where it slide on tarmac, from the bend in the lean stand footplate I'd say there was a rock in the bank that flipped it over to the right, exhaust heat shield is not as shiney as it once was, couple of odds 'n sods to touch up /polish out, leg wind deflectors will be the expensive bit, but hey ho it could have been a whole lot worse there's nothing to stop it being ridden

glad your not too badly hurt Bern, as you say could have been worse. The scoot will fix. Keep your chin up.

Your here to tell the tale that's the main thing . Yes the roads are shite ATM .

Cheers guys. Been a while since my last proper 'spill' back in '76ish, glad #I was in 'winter' clothing, market man wasn't optimistic about my boot, guy in the cobblers reckons "not a problem mate", turns out he rides a Bandit

Paid £140 mates rates, got them back today, look great, had to link pic from instagram coz this bloody site always says my files are too large!

As the weather was sunny and a balmy 10'c today, I thought I would go out for a quick blat in the burg to Loomies local bike meet in Hampshire. Managed to ride 120 miles going the long way there on less travelled A and B roads (2 hours, one was not hanging about:) ) rather than the 17 it normally is. Not a massive amount of bikes out on the roads but I suppose most would be put off by the odd shower that was about. Only downside today was getting held up by the other bikes- just do not have the umph to overtake them if they were sat behind a car like a I used to on the XT1200.
