Got chatting to a guy on a big gixxer..i felt cool, I felt like a biker. Setting off, suitably refreshed, calmly waving to my new biker friend....I acidentally dumped the clutch, shot forward, legs flapping behind me trying to stay calm and think through the situation "oh look a brick built toilet block wall....stop looking at the wall....STOP LOOKING AT THE WALL!!! I managed to stop just feet away. Breathing heavily, hands and legs trembling I but the bike in the neutral and had a little sit. The instructor (on coms) pulled up along side and calmly said "what the fuck was that?! Have you finished? Right at the end of the road were turning right. Twat." And off he rode.......
"...had a little sit..."
Is that a typo? :lol

Thanks, but not sure I need them. As mentioned, the bent ones are actually more comfortable for my dodgy arm (less reach), and cosmetically, it's not all that obvious. They're not kinked, so not worried about their strength. Are bent handlebars an automatic MOT fail, even if they don't trap hands or touch the tank on full lock?

No sympathy from me Harry, I've not set foot in that dodgy place known as Sutton Valance for a few years now (mother lives there). There are a few dodgy junctions near the top of the hill by the Kings Head.

Out with an IAM Observer, I missed spotting his indicator and carried on, only to realise he wasn't behind me.
So I decided to to a U Turn.
On a hill...
Got halfway round and the bike topples over and me and it land in an inglorious heap.
Fortunately a driver stopped helped me pick it up, then went down the hill to let the Observer know whilst I sat there nursing a bruised wrist and injured pride
