After 800,000 miles of touring 2 up over 40 years ,turned right onto a D road near Bergerac ,turned to the girlfriend to chat for a second,hit wet grass on right hand side of the road,ended up down one of those lovely ditches they have there,handlebars were at road height with both of us trapped under the bike,lucky to have hard panniers and engine bars ,definitely would have broken ankles or legs without hence smashed spotlight,3rd gear so we were going about 35 - 40mph,schoolboy error and a reminder of how quick things happen.
