Ducati 750, on loan from the shop for the day, brand new with 300 miles on the clock.
Pulling away from the lights in traffic, car ahead braked, I hit the wrong brake (used to Moto Guzzi by then - foot pedal works one front and the rear disk) locked rear wheel, got it back, slid sideways into kerb, broke collar bone. £1500 worth of damage to the bike, £5000 worth of operation to the collarbone, frozen shoulder as a result of operation, life of hell for 4 years...oops. Total speed: 10 mph

ouch
least it wasnt a sheep
I had a mate who managed to hit sheep on the way home from the pub on a friday for 4 weeks on the trot, the following Sat he didnt turn up, he was in Hospital, seemingly he was half way home and a sheep jumped over a wall and totaled him and his CX.
We think it was either related to one of earlier victims or was a specially imported hitsheep

Bad in a car but bloody terrifying on two wheels. I used to do a bit of MX as a kid, so when I hit the roads I was used to having the stupid thing sliding off in every direction. However, aquaplaning at speed was never an experience I wanted to repeat.
Next up for you is to try the ton-up tank slapper - over 100mph and you lose front grip, bang left, bang right and bang goes your bowels.

The fun bit of tank slappers is you always remember the advice: "accelerate through it" without thinking "how do I slow back down again?"

One reason I am a fair weather rider.
Glad to hear no problems. 
Here if I rode today, I would be on ice most of the way to work.

Where did all my Pinned Files go from the taskbar, huh? Come on Excel, own up - what didya do to 'em, huh? My VS ones are still there, so why have you got rid of them? 
Now I've got to find the blasted files, reopen them, and pin 'em again...

So with my ad fill rate on Pubcenter handing around 11%, I figured I'd look into other options for ad providers on my Windows 8 app. I found InMobi and immediately fell in love with it. I downloaded the SDK, integrated it into my app, and fired up a debug session to see if it was working.
For some reason though, I kept getting all of these "InMobi NETWORK_ERROR" messages. I searched it out and found this: social.MDSN[^]
Note post five: Quote: ...InMobi as an ad network does not serve ads on desktops and laptops. As you pointed out, you will be able to install the SDK on a machine running Windows 8, but at our backend there is a userAgent check which determines what system (i.e phone, tablet, desktop) is being used. If the userAgent is a laptop or a desktop the ad will not be served.
What in the world!? Windows 8 is more than tablets! 
But it gets worse: Not only does InMobi not support laptops or desktops, they don't really support Windows 8 at all! They only support Windows RT!
Arrghhhh!!!! I'm through with InMobi no matter what platform I'm on.
