Note to bikers - always look out for a soft place to land!

I was caining my CB750 when a corner caught me out on West Mersey Island. In the split second I was about to come off I saw a feel of trees, the hedge was ramped and saw myself being inpailed by a tree branch 50 ft up in the air. Luckely I was able to drop the bike and ended up down the road on the hedge. Talk about having a thousand yard stare for the rest of the day
