Had a silly little fall today
first time in forty years of riding
Less than a hundred yards from home, completly lost it on a patch of MOSS !!
BE WARNED , moss is very slippy, it can make you fall off , break your top fairing, scratch up
your exhaust. rip your trousers and give you a hurty leg
Warning... Moss Is Very Slippy !
