oh how the pride is dented....
waiting at a local roundabout for the exit traffic to move, I realised I had enough
room to snuck up behind a bus.
The bus began to move off, then stopped , as I did, but somehow my centre of gravity shifted to my right,
and with the roundabout surface being pretty bad, and on an incline with a nasty camber to boot, I
gracefully went over with the bike.
I rolled over, thankfully stopping before the flower beds, watching the right mirror pod following me.
A chap from an office opposite came out and helped me get the bike back upright.
One bent throttle lever, some paint missing from the mirror pod,
and my pride a little dented.
This is my second (stationary ) trip to the tarmac on a k bike, I guess it may not be the last.
