Came off

[Ottobeil]

Went to the local tescos this morning for my o/h to get some bread and was all fine going there, it was just coming back, Some stupid whore in a 4x4 started to beep at me because i was going slow round the roundabout and it made me jump, I blippd the throttle an the bike jumped from under me and sent me flying.

Here is a pic to make it better

There was a load of leaf shit on the ground and i think my tyre just let go on there. I will try and get pics off but i broke my secret santas gift *sniff sniff*

Anyway whats broken is

L Indiciator
Rear light
Petrol tank dented
speedo fucked
clutch leaver snapped

What a pain in the ass.

*anyone got an RXS they want to get rid off lol*

damn, i hope you made the woman feel bad.

kudos on the paint drawing though

[.Chris.]

After you came off I hope you had a really good go at the woman in the car. If someone had hooted me for going to slow around a roundabout then I'd be very angry indeed.

You should be able to get most of those bits from ebay/wemoto/breakers for a few quid. How bad is the petrol tank?

RXS100s are very light so next time remember to chuck the bike through her windscreen. She wouldn't do it again then...

Can people stop falling off please.

Hope you get the bike sorted and back on the road soon. Suppose it could have been alot worst.

You fell off because a car horn made you jump? Feck knows what will happen if your bike were to backfire!

I came off a couple of days back but that was my own fault because I refuse to let a bit of frost stop me commuting at 7:30 in the morning. However, as said, if it was someone elses fault I'd be majorly pissed!
You should of taken her details and claimed she went into the back of you which caused the accident

She might of been daft for hooting you, the complete stereotype of a 4x4 driver, but it certainly isn't her fault that you blipped the throttle and skidded off.

Take some responsibility rather than blaming a woman or a car driver.

No offence, but I would have laughed my tits off if I had seen that.

Don't take that personally, it's just me

Harold_Shand's theory might be the best explanation.

[iooi]

Yea would be leaving yourself wide open..

But why did she use the horn, no need for it.
Again it just shows the total lack of understanding about other forms of transport and how they need to be driven in certain conditions.

The only reason i was going so slow was the fact it had been raining the night before and it was quite early in the morning so there was still patches of frost + ice so i wasnt going to go like i normally would.

I have decided to strip the bike and do a complete restore on it now as i have another bike i can use for the time being.

Pics of the damage will come tomorrow
