Crashed today. My own silly fault, didn't heed the warning....
On way to work and had a bit of a moment when my tyres skittered quite badly under me as I rounded a
sharpish corner. 5 minutes later was in another fast bend when the rear wheel stepped out badly, in
an instant I went from "Oh ****!" to "Way hey! I'm alright!" and back to "Oh ****!" once more. I'd
felt it go, catch again, then felt myself hurled into the air in a huge high side launch. I didn't
half fly. The landing was rather nasty though.
Obviously no cagers bothered to stop for even a moment to ask if I was okay. As I lay in the road
bleeding and dazed they all just motored on around me like I was some inconvenient road debris.
Miserable bastards.
My new EBC Courier has certainly taken some punishment in the few weeks I've owned it, poor thing.
It's as if it knows its job and is going about picking up the dirt and dents necessary to deter
thieves with gusto and of its own accord. Good lad.
Anyone else ride on Specialized Fat Boys? They've given me a fright quite a few times in the weeks
since I fitted them and was wondering how others found them? Perhaps I'm just expecting too much
from them.... ho hum.
(You should see the colours I'm coming up in!!)
