woke up a bit sniffly this morning, finished work early so decided to go cat n fiddle for a quick blast, that usually clears my head...
just piling into the twisties just before the pub doing 70-80 and had a mad sneezing fit lol, not funny :oops:
snot all over the inside of my visor, couldnt see with my eyes shut so just anchored on and hoped for the best...
obviously i am not dead but i need to learn to sneeze with my eyes open.
sh1t meself lol! :oops:

then... had to be back for 6 for the mrs so picked my way thru rushour traffic thru stockport onto the m60...
all went well till i tried to nip between 2 lanes and the mondeo in front slammed on 8O
front wheel locked up sideways and bounced like hell, thought i was going to highside it, managed to stay on but the car behind literally just touched my boot 8O the lightest touch possible!

very close call indeedly :beer:

btw, noticed some fresh damage to a wall on c&f and flowers at the scene... mustve been in the last day or 2 as i go up there regularly and didn't notice anything last time....
a young lad on another forum i use had an off there on the 21st on his 125, totalled the bike and broke his hip, got to wear a plate & screws for 2 years, they reckon it'll be christmas before he's walking again 8O

:lol: Snotty liner/visor, had that couriering, not good is it?
Not good with the eyes open and certainly not on the anchors. :(
But funny to see it is.

A fair few similar close shaves of the best-a-man-can-get variety yesterday myself. After such incidents, getting home in one piece seems to be all one can ask and somehow that beer tastes all the more refreshing as a result. :thumbup:

Phew :beer:

worse than that, i threw up in my lid once.... thought i'd make it home but no chance :sick:
did that where you try to contain it in your gob thing, proper exorcist job.
not nice at all, spew coming out of my nose & running down my neck etc :/
then to make matters worse, when i got home i realised i'd followed thru as well :oops:
leathers straight in the bin lol.
not a good idea riding with gastric flu.
