Is motorcycling allowed?

Am out back at work, left two weeks ago to do my annual Simulator recurrent training in Dubai. Just prior to leaving I took a short trip around Klein Karoo area. Crossing the river just east of Calitzdorp my bike decided on a little lay down without telling me! Rookie error, too much throttle after crossing the drift and spun out on the algae, washing out the front. Fortunately not very fast but a rude shock all the same. My old bones do not bounce as well as they used to! Struggled to lift the bike against the admittedly shallow rise of the drift and had to turn it parallel to the road. Anyways the protective gear on the bike and on me did as required and apart from being soaked ( I rolled into the water!) we were soon on the way.  The rest of the ride was without mishap but did leave me a little more cautious and aware of being over 60 and traveling alone.
