[QUOTE="puppychow, post: 758906, member: 19520"] Thank you for the advise fella's! I was indeed lucky. I saw the gravel too late and didn't have much space to navigate in that narrow lane. I agree, I might have been carrying too much speed for that turn and it is a lesson well learnt without disastrous consequences to accompany it. I did however make the mistake of grabbing on to the handle bars - having never been in a tank slapper before, I instinctively grabbed the handlebars as the bike was trying to buck me off, trying to hold on and to prevent being knocked off the bike! Somehow, the outcome came out all right and I rode through it, but I will keep this in mind. PS - My right leg is starting to hurt from being dragged across the pavement holding the beast up...off to pop some pain killers... [/QUOTE]
