Took advantage of the recent spell of decent weather to enjoy the first rideout of the year. A few miles down the road pulled up at a junction, trouser leg snagged the footpeg,capsize to port.Never happened before, hope it doesn't happen again....

That's happened to me some years ago. It's the reason I stopped wearing flairs.

I stopped wearing flares when punk rock came along in 1977.

All noted, me and my G18 did survive throughout that
particular era,despite the fashion However,this time I was safely and properly equipped to ride,boots and textile overs.It still happened.The price you occasionally pay for a "forward" footrest?

I always remove the metal 'lean angle detectors' fitted on modern bikes for this very reason - to stop anything (including the tops of my boots) from being snagged.

I've a pretty good idea I'll know at what point I've leant the bike over too far

Same on a cycle when you're clipped in and can't get your foot out quick enough, the road comes up to meet you very quickly.
