Remember..............

Tip #285 Always remember which bike you are riding.

I own two SOBs. A Kawasaki GPZ305 and a Honda CX500. The stopping power
of the front brake on the CX500s is legendary.....on account of the fact
that it is minimal. The stopping power of the front brake on a GPZ305 on
the other hand is phenomenal. Riding to work today on the GPZ305 doing
30mph in traffic when the car in front does an emergency stop (some tosser
in front of her decided to brake hard due to nearly overshooting his
turnoff). As I have been riding the CX500 quite a bit recently I
instinctively grabbed a BIG right handfull. As I was on the GPZ305 the
result was not what I expected. Instead of grinding slowly to a halt in the
accustomed CX500 style, the front wheel promptly locked up causing the back
end to swing round. By the time I realised it was too late - I had stopped,
but sideways-on and at too much of an angle. The bike fell over and thanks
to the folding footrest my right foot got squashed. Nothing broken but VERY
painful. The bike only suffered a broken mirror glass, probably because my
foot and right leg prevented the rest of it from actually making much
contact with the road. However, the major damage was to my pride - a 0mph
binning of a SOB in front of a crowd of curious onlookers was mega
embarrassing.

Unlucky mate, hope your foot gets well soon.

Has the foot gone interesting colours? Did you remember to RICE?

I've heard that egos bruise far more easily than feet.

 

An interesting and rather fetching purple with red highlights. Have been
doing the RICE bit but I have found the 75% alcohol rum that I brought back
from the Dominican Republic has been the most effective treatment so far.
The only further problem is that tomorrow I will have a sore head as well as
a sore foot. Ho hum...........

Rum, Ice, Coke in Elephantine quantities.

Was that a genuine bit of self-mockery there, Snorky?
