Well held Bob. More a slide than a crash. Still hung on whilst kicking legs in the air. Way-hay! Good job that telegraph pole wasn't nearer.
Back in 1963 I bought a new NSU Quickly F, the one with the rear suspension. I thought I would give it a quick run-in, so on a Saturday I left Eastbourne, Sussex with a friend on the back and rode the coast road to my Aunts in Southampton for tea and back home again, the same day. My backside and fingers were really tingling when we got back.
As they were only made in 1962-3 they are rather collectable. Lo and behold this week I met the guy that used to service my car and he mentioned buying two Quickly mopeds last week and one of them is a model F just like my old one, same colour and loads of new & old spares. Deep Joy, been looking years for one, now comes the negotiating, he doesn't know much about bikes. Don't want to pay too much do I?
