I know how you feel Cormanus. After two drops in front of our forum members, I was very embarrassed. I had given the thought that maybe it was time to sell by beloved CB1100 and to go back to my body punishing CB77 for short rides. I have absolutely no desire for any other current motorcycles that are now available.
What I did is look at the factors which contributed to the nappings and learn from them. I realize your napping situations were hard to avoid. I had a few close call like yours. IE: taking off from an upgrade stop on a newly “tar and chip” road with a cage right behind me, and getting my boot lace tangled-up with the feeler peg under the foot peg.(I immediately ordered laceless boots after).
I would dare say that we are not the only ones that had a napping experience around!
And I am enjoying your excellent journal! Get a picture of a Tasmanian devil.
