Yes its me... the Z went down...

i'll explain then add the pic.

after the Pi trip, my bike was dirty
so i went and washed it, and coz of water restrictions i couldnt wash it in my driveway so had to go elseware.

i was on my way back, Squidding to the max.

thongs
shorts
t-shirt
no gloves

i came around this bit of a bend
and the front seemed to slide on this bit of a lip...

now, my tyres are quite worn, so this may have been a problem, but im ALWAYS very cautious when i ride, im a good rider, and never crash and i never ride past the conditions.

anyways, heres a pic of the corner

if you look hard you can see where my tire marks are.

the lip is where the road changes colour...

erm...which one was the 'road' ? Can't see tyre marks and the 2 'bikes' in the background looks allright to me.

i was coming along the bit near the "bikes" and turned left onto the redy brown bit, theres a 2 inch lip there, made my tyre slide instead of going up it..

angle was too sharp
