I take it you are okay and it's just mainly pride that took a fall?

However now that you have shared your embarassment - please entertain us with the tale of how you came to be lying on the floor in an undignified manner!

What hoops did you go for BTW?

Embarassed

Forgot about scrubbing them in as I was frustrated behind that learner, it was my first run of the season. All in £37 + vat for the casing £11+ vat for the gasket, and £36 for the new crash bung, and it is just as good as new, fairly cheap lesson learned.

OMFG! Fair play - you are clearly man enough to be able to smile about it. Smile

I figured it was going to a fairly swift decent into madness when I saw the vid only lasted 4 minutes and it starts with the engine off and you not even on the bike...........

Very tidy spill when all said and done and 8/10 for the impressive pick up and wheeling away. Cool

Nice camera BTW - Clearly a rugged one (without trying to sound smart about it Embarassed

) something like an Oregon?

I'm 6'5" picking them up is the easy bit it's staying on them thats the problem! if you can't laugh about it what can you do!

The camera is a £35 ebay jobbie, do a search of AEE MD80, I was really impressed by it

This was the first one I filmed, a bit of London riding, The quality is actually abit better from the raw file youtube cuts it down abit. It's hard on the four trying to find a decent spot to mount it, but definately worth the money.
