• yes. going at speed through a 'T' junction, to catch yellow light, turned into corner, hit bottom of stroke, BAM! wasn't too bad, didn't fall or anything, though it did throw my balance for a bit. but what it did do, was destroy a really good pedal, snapped the toe cage (steel) and the front plate (alloy) and mashed up the pedal body on the front/outside. and my foot hurt for a while after that. not fun.

    Again, glad you didn't stack it.

    But there's a pattern forming here...

    So, you were 'going some' and took a 90 degree bend. Sounds like this was the only time it's happened? Have you been riding in London for a few years, many years?

    (Off topic - I used to have an old GS750 motorbike with crash-bars, if you got it low enough around Elephant & Castle's big roundabout the bars would touch the tarmac and momentarily kick the rear wheel up, it never got totally out of control but it was hairy!)
