After struggling all winter at roundabouts and catching several slides I finally dropped it today. Exiting a roundabout at no more than 30 mph and attempting to straight-line the "S" bend to minimise the chances of sliding, the front went away very suddenly. Being almost upright it fell very hard causing much damage to panels on the right side and, worse still, a cracked windscreen. Should have got rid of the tyres at the first signs of sliding, but who wants to throw away new tyres? And they are excellent in the dry and in rain - just no good at damp roundabouts!

I have to report that the safety features all worked and I have only some bruising to my right leg because the bike fell across the kerb and just caught it. Crossing the kerb also neatly removed the tit at the same time, so increasing the damage to the bodywork
