Had a lucky escape on Boxing day, as i was turning off homebush bay drive joining the freeway lost the front end resulting in myself and bike parting company .
The Panniers are scratched up .

Lucky i had the case protector or it would have been far worse

And slid into guard rail and bent my exhaust.

Glad i had the right gear on as i slid for a bit and only hurt my ego.

Good to hear your gear was on and that it was only your ego that was hurt mate.

Still not fully sure , it was just a dumb mistake.
It was really wet and just tipped in and away it went wasnt pushing too hard . My leather and wets have only lightest of marks.

Glad to hear you are ok Loafie.....lucky you went into a guard rail rather than the cheese slicer cables.
1hotbusa and I will again open the spannering headquarters, complete with BBQ, if required. We have a garage and heaps of space....many hands make light work.
