Amen to that Took a tumble on the M20 last night in the slush, following Andre to the services to warm up turned off on the slip probably about 20 ish then next thing I was reaching for the cut off as the bike was on me
Thankfully I'm ok can't say the same for the bike though. Thought last night the only damage was to the pannier (dented) and a scratch on the engine bars. Looked at it this morning and the Steptoe headguard also did its job due to the damage done to it but there is also a 2mm gouge in my LHS cylinder head where the impact forced the headguard into the cylinder head. Not sure how thick those things are so may be replacing that or filling it with liquid metal before I set off.
Plan for me now is to visit Steptoe tommorrow as the bike is refusing to start consistently - something is draining the battery.
After that the plan is to run down France on the auto train in an attempt to catch the guys up before they get to Morocco.

Glad you're OK Richard, sorry to hear about the damage though. Hope it's not too serious.

watch out Steptoe might still be on holiday rates
Thier off the Eurotunnel so thats 7 in France
Bon Voyage and a tune for the guys
Steptoe might not even be around - I'm sure he posted somewhere he was off to the Elephant rally...
Spoke to him earlier. He said he'd be around
He also said his road was sheet ice
