Thoughts on trailering

Looks like I broke the right footpeg off the Roadster too. And one of the brackets for the flyscreen, but it was cracked halfway through when I got it.

Good the classic fared out well. Thats the most important mileage wise.

Glad to hear all are safe.

So was it a 'nod off and off' or a "Holy sheet! I'm sliding off" moment?
Your insurance company will love this recovery - are you out yet?

I woke up as I was on the shoulder heading downhill.

That ain't good. Steel do us all a favor. Slow down and take some breaks please. Getting tired of all the accidents here lately. Glad to hear your OK but take it easy please.

Better than smelling salts for effectiveness, isn't it?
I hope you had good lights to see what was coming.
I would have been relieved to see that water speed trap too, rather than a cliff!

I had it happen to me several years ago and my pickup rolled upside down across a three lane highway hit the embankment and rolled rightside up. I got one of these afterward.

Yep I bought one of them too for my many 2500 mile 84 hour drives from Darwin to Canberra or back. Good idea, but never used it though. Teaching an old dog and being one, I always stuck my head out the window instead, especially on a cold night it does wonders, as does a brief stop and walk of a 100 yards or so.

No problems for me now that I am older. I chew gum and that is all I need. I just don't push it too hard.

Glad you didn't get hurt other than pride.

Great to hear you are unscathed big fella - no good comes from trailering!
