OK, I post this here as it demonstrates just how quickly one of these pigs can get away from you in a momentary lapse in concentration......

There I was near home playing merekat over a series of speedbumps on a nice twisty, then come to a "T" junction, was gonna go straight, last moment decide on the downhill left, you will note, NO mention of downchanges for the "T" junction.......

So as I turn..... the big pig (at least 2 gears too high) stalls mid turn... the shaft being quite unforgiving the rear Karoo locks up and we are going looooowside, I must have clutched in the Karrooo bites...... we is going Hiiiiighside the inertia/momentum of the pig must have saved us as I caught it...

All of the above happened in a split second and adrenalin means I felt nothing, however I now have a sprained wrist but at least no road rash :biggrin: :biggrin:
