You're obviously a cool customer.

 

I wonder where it picked up that habit.

 

You ninny - was this a front wheel lock-up, or just a case of not giving the
CD its usual ten-second warning that you wanted to stop?

Which might explain your inability to stop in time...

You know, with SOBs it's usually a good idea to use all the brakes
they've got...

 

"it's only a darsy"

Pikey's'll nick *anything*

(and then flog it on ebay to stupid americans)

 

yeah, 'cept I've managed to sort of crock the thumb on that hand too.

 

can't have been *you*.

 

I did "stop on time". I merely failed to "stop on time without
crashing".

Sure, but the CD200's back brake is appallingly bad, even compared to
the front.

 

<serious>

It *was* my fault. I was riding too fast for the conditions.

</serious>

Oh, and did I mention I was drunk?

 

it was - ultrasurprisingly - a front wheel lock-up. I was so shocked I
forgot to release the brake, and hence, went for the tried-and-tested
crashing gambit.

 

yeah, I know. It's in about the best area there is around there, which
is something.

Hmm. Anybody seen TOG this morning?

 

I had a GS550 way back when and it was quicker to stop the bike by yelling
"whoa bike, whoa!", rather than using the back brake. You could perhaps try
this technique next time.

 

none recently.

 

Any drug taking you which to have taken into account?

 

Silly ****

 

I should think not. Well, except for the 5 or 6 people who've
variously called me "clumsy", "****", "oaf" etc. in this very thread.

 

d'oh - now why didn't *I* think of that...

 

Shame. A couple of wraps of speed and a tab would have
offset the drink nicely...

 

iconoclasts
People who smash icons, either physical or metaphorical, including
plastering over religious paintings and murals. Physical icons, paintings,
and statues are usually destroyed by iconoclasts because they seem them as
contrary to proper worship, being akin to idolatry.
