It works!

A combination of a hairpin bend, a very steep hill and a squirrel meant I lost control of the GS!

My almost stationary speed meant I didn’t really drop it but laid it down in the gutter a bit too quickly.

Within seconds the bike had sent the SOS call had gone out and a lady with a soothing West Country accent was speaking to me out of the dashboard asking me if everything was OK.

Picking it up again was a struggle, especially on the steep hill!

Back home now with just a small scratch on the engine bar and no doubt a few aches tomorrow
