Just on a quick note about bike clothing: I had to do a bit of an emergency stop the other day as a car in front decided to brake hard - they were lost I think. Anyway, I did the usual thing with the clutch and brakes and as I went down quickly with the left foot, the darned lower border or hem or whatever of my draggin jeans caught on the outside of my left peg. Result, foot did not go down, bike stopped and started to go over to left. Somehow, I managed to disentangle my jeans from the peg, get the foot down and with all my strength (which isn't huge coz I'm not a big guy) held up the bike and just about herniated my self getting it upright again. Thank the Lord it wasn't a big twin - a few more lbs and she'd have been down.
Message to self - get into the routine of shoving that foot out a bit further in a reflex move....:31:
