The bike before:
Out of concern for my girl riding through the twisties with a drag tyre on the rear, i swapped bikes. Well, out of anywhere this could have happened, it was the straightest road and I was doing less than 60km at the time and we were less than 10km from her place.
I went to sit up and relax my riding position, i think it shook over through road and my glove rolled the throttle a bit, i went to catch it, but couldn't then next thing i knew i was holding my head watching it slide down the road.
She saw the whole thing from behind & had to evade the rear as it slid out sideways into her path.
Moral of the story - Don't get on a bike you haven't set up for yourself or ride a bike you don't own!
Here is a bit of the damage:
More on it's way.
