...All that being said, I doubt the incident could have been avoided by having a different alignment set up. No amount of setup would have compensated for popping the chair with a rock. You would think that a passenger would dampen the lift, but it doesn't seem too. More riding will help with how you react and the strength of your arms and more riding is always a good thing Thanks for your thoughts Andy. One of the other guys went back to look at the rock. He said I would never have seen it. It was basicly a ramp and just low enough to clear the step. Not much road to play with either.I did manage to pop the chair up again later on, this time a blustone culvert. I bit more road this time and a successful recovery . Thanks again.

Bugga sorry Mike. My marbles are getting lost. Just got back from our ride..Just under 200k. What was going to be a cruisey dirt outing. Started with a god awful switch back loose dirt climb. Only 2 scarey bits The first a loose vert uphill right hander had the front pushing over the edge and the intercom cracklin in my ears. Second was an equally scary downhill series of hairpins. Clutch in and riding the brakes down being careful not to lock up. Anyway, we're still here and just a couple of frights The rest of the ride was quite slow as the potholes were horrendous and impossible to see. But, we're still in the saddle. Got some video so will post after editing some language out 😁😁
Only two scary bits is nice, I travel 20km to work and I have many more scary bits than that.... Looking forward to seeing the video.
