I leaned as far as I could, scraped metal, lost the front end, went over the embankment, and slid down the other side. I wasn't hurt. The bike suffered a bent handlebar, a broken mirror, and broken front turn indicator. After that, I looked for a bike which could corner better.
Yeah, I always reckoned the beasts of that era demanded extra respect, otherwise be bucked off.
Glad you are here to write about it.
