Re: Dropped my bike like a plonker
Happened to me in Swansea a couple of weeks ago, my last Match of the Day for the season, I started to ride home, not even left the car park, I couldnt get my foot off the Peg, and over we go... embarressing more than anything. Im glad the rest of the camera crew had gone, or I would have had the piss taken out of me probably til the end of time. ;D

The shift manager at a place I worked a few years ago did exactly the same moving his R6 just a few feet in the garage. Unfortunately, trying to save the bike ended up with him off work for 6 months with a badly broken leg.
