Swampy's shiny new black motorcycle chucked a wobbly when traversing a gravel driveway to park at the start of O'Brien Road.
It was a real case of some one trying to do the right thing being in the wrong place.
Swampy had been running Tail End Charlie duties on the Sunday Ride and was just parking to catch up with the group as it emerged from O'Brien Road
A broken gear lever, broken clutch lever and fairing abrasions were the result.
Swampy, who delights in everything being mint and shiny was obviously gutted. Fortunately Swampy only ended up with a cut finger.
Any one who follows WA AFL sides knows that unfortunate things can happen. Not a good week end for Swampy.
Sorry Swampy...thanks for your help with the ride.

Sorry to hear this Swampy, a BMW would have shrugged off such a minor mishap, isn't that right Snaga
