Warning... Moss Is Very Slippy ! - FILO - 07-10-2012
Had a silly little fall today
first time in forty years of riding
Less than a hundred yards from home, completly lost it on a patch of MOSS !!
BE WARNED , moss is very slippy, it can make you fall off , break your top fairing, scratch up
your exhaust. rip your trousers and give you a hurty leg

Also wet leaves, it's that time of year again (least north of the equator).

Pine Needles also make your back wheel try to find your front. As I found out today,, on a bike with less than 100 miles on her <img src='http://www.carpe-tdm.net/ipb/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
