So I'm approaching a round about in a line of traffic this morning. The traffic is doing about 10mph (who knows with a Yamaha speedo ) Anyway, there is no traffic on the round about so the vehicles in front are all proceeding smoothly on to the roundabout.
Just as the car in front gets to the roundabout and still nothing coming from the right, the car stops dead - WTF!!!.
I grab a hand full of front brake, the front end dives, somehow I also managed to wind the throttle open, but at least I'd pulled the clutch in with the brake, so the engine is screaming like a banshee and I'm fighting to stop the bike dropping.
Lucky for me I didn't hit the car in front, didn't get rear ended and managed to hold the bike up. Composed myself and proceeded on my way - thank goodness for crash helmets - prevents other road users from seeing how embarassed you look.
