Well everyone else is, so I might as well.

When hooning country lanes, try not to get barged off the road surface
onto the innocent looking grass. Said grass may be hiding all sorts of
nasties.

In this case, something that has dinged an alloy bad enough it didn't hold
air any more. <sigh>.

One roadside change later, get the thing home and lay it up til next week.
Why? It's a national holiday today, Clogland is closed on Sundays and no
*** is likely to have these in stock (18 inch Audi RS6) genuine or
replicas.

Oh and of course, it's a quattro, the spare isn't an 18", so I can't
really use the thing cos the diff's'll get (un)screwed.

<sigh>


Good note to keep with you. Had the same problem on a "back road". Hit a
bit of mud doing about 70 and landed in the grass. Once the bike had
stopped sliding across the said grass, I got up and it was about 15 meters
away from where I landed. Fortuneatley though, they grass was innocent,
probably a minor miracle in Lanarkshire and I escaped with no injury and the
bike with a cracked left hand upper cowl :))
