-> Custom crutches holder
-> Givi Top box
-> Loobman Chain oiler

Proper, decent mods.

[m0l0t0v]

Haha It was fun following you to Boxhill. At some point I thought one of the crutches might fly out and wipe either me or Jay out!

Best most worthwhile mods ever.
Nice wheelies btw

One glimpse of your virile locks and the punters can't wait to buy whatever it is you suggest, as it might let them be just a little bit like the Adonis that is our very own Molly Doovydoo said: Its not my fault I can't get it up properly, I just wasn't blessed

[McGee]

With boots like that and your style of a hair cut one may suggest you be a bad person I think its just the trouser to ankle ratio is what does it.

Awesome pics, love the crutch holders

How hard is she to get up ?

If I can have a crash go on your stunt bike sparks (maybe when me leg is a bit better).

Not massively easy McGee - can be powered up in second, but clutched up is much better - however not too hard either. Will clutch up in third, if you get it right.
Without trying too hard (don't want to push my luck with a broken leg, so staying below the balance point generally) had it through the gears into fourth.

I should point out that I can do wheelies proper(ish) like ....

nice G, did you hurt your leg when you were racing?

Yea, Andy. There was a thread in the Racing section at the time and I'm told the pics will soon be released to the 'public'. Might do another write up to go with 'em if I can be arsed.
Just got back from a check-up 3 months down the line and the bones are no better than the day after the accident .

Tin, well, ya see... I've been having ultrasound from a physio; this is to shake the bone about a bit to try and attract blood and generally get it healing it's self.
The way I see it, a 400cc single at 5000 rpm is probably going to have about the same effect .

G, your silly if you have to stamp your feet down at any point from getting that wrong your gonna have to go through the whole process of getting that leg better again or at least to the point your at.

[G]

Quacker:
Keeping it just below the balance point, still in the latter pic .
It doesn't actually wheelie that 'easily' as it's pretty low powered (around 37hp at the rear wheel I believe and not masses of midrange as it's only a 400.)
It is quite fun, but more because you can rag it a bit and not be going stupid-fast from doing so.

The crutches are held in with a tie down style strap which is riveted to the clamps for the pipes lower down.

Deano:
That's why I was taking it easy, not doing anything that I wasn't comfortable doing.
I insured my stoppies weren't too high (as you can see, though I did have some higher than that, as with the wheelie) and my wheelies weren't going to cause any need to put my feet down.
What /is/ dangerous is going to see a Physio who has outdoor steps which are /very/ slippy when wet that also have a metal railing. Much, much more likely to fall and badly hurt my leg doing that, yet nobody so far has suggested I don't do it.
The bones in my leg are in no better state than they were the day after I had the accident (three months ago), so 'going through the whole process' isn't really a massive waste of time (though possibly painful if I did fall down those stairs).

It's all about risks, understanding them and minimising them as required.

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

[G]

Andy, details of the accident up here now.

[McGee]

God damn G.

That's evil.

Actually G the picture with caption was removed as that looked truly brutal.

[mrtEE]

Have you written any kind of detailed review on this bike? Would be interested to know more about it from someone who owns one.....

[byke95]

[G]

Don't worry McGee, I survived, tis all good (Though I may not be saying that in another six weeks, four and a half months after I broke it when the leg still hasn't started knitting ).

Haven't written a detail review, but may try to next time I've got a minute.

CCMs going ok, though speedo's died. It is about what I expected - engine definitely isn't amazing, but lower power means better thrashability, which is good in my book - about the right power for me.

[jackw72]

G man lives on...

i was thinking of recreating your crash in Gmod (The half life thing)

rather appropriately named don't ya thunk. =]

I'm not quite that good, especially without pillion pegs to rest a foot on (not sure the top box is strong enough).

Had about "11 o'clock" on SV / TRX, but that's been balance point with the bike close to me, rather than past the balance point.

Saying that, if I crashed and mashed the bit of metal holding my leg, they might actually do something about it and make it mend proper-like.

So probably best to leave it to sparks .
