What caused the high side Beetle?
Some loose gravel on bitumen as I was pulling over. The front wheel starting sliding and then the bars went 'whack' to the right. The bike bucked and I went over the bars. Hit the deck with my right shoulder then my noggin decided it wanted in on the action and hit the deck too.I felt like a right pillock as I was only doing about 25km/h as I started sliding. There's gouges in the helmet, so can't be saved.I had a spare rear brake lever in my spare bits from a previous get-off, which I had straightened. The rest is just cosmetic. Shoulder is just a bit sore today.
New house unpacking continues, but we are past the insane stage. Still lots of labor and expense. Looking forward to a break in NYC to see daughters mid-April. I need one. What happened to retirement? Planning trips for summer to MT and CO, maybe AK also? No lucking finding a retirement car yet. No rush though....
... I'm not sure. I hope it fell off. ;D I think the bolts vibrated loose on a quick "sprint" I made on the freeway. :-X
a ride my son and I will do on Sat/Sun,
Terrible and thanks for asking, ' just got a metaphorical clip under the ear by the Kirbmeister, best thing for me. Cocky Aussie smartie pants.
