He was taking a bend and from his description the front locked and went from under him and he wasn't even on the brakes.

Bikes got a nice bit of damage. Broken gear lever, fucked clutch lever, bent front wheel, fucked brake disks, forks are bent to high heaven, loads of scratches and that's all I can see at night.

He's alright apart from a nice graze on his leg and a bruise (which isn't showing in the pics) on his hip, jacket stopped his shoulder getting messed up.

And before any one asks why am I stood around taking pics is because I got to push it home 4 miles. With the forks bent the way they were I had to keep lifting the rear tyre and straightening the bike up so I could keep going straight. Laughing

I didn't think it was that far until I started pushing it.

Looks like nothing in the pics Laughing

And we pushed it because everyone with a pick up or a tow truck was unavailable. Laughing

I'll get better pics come morning.

Forgive my lack of knowledge but what is rim tape apart from what you put in a bycicle rim to cover the spokes ends?.

Shame about the bike m8 but at least you walked away okay ish especially in jeans and trainers, now you have an excuse to get a newer bike or mod yours up Very Happy And your roads look in better nick than the ones here in blighty plus they look like they are 2 the size.

You'd sorta hope this would persuade him that now is a good time to invest in some leathers/kevlar jeans...

Im sure your mates think its cool to bike in a hoodie and jeans, but hit the tarmac, and all of a sudden its not so fun...

Hope the bike isnt as bad as it looks, and you get it fixed up quickly! Bet she was a stunner before she went down...

Why?

I was riding in just jeans for the first 3-4 years of riding, never had a problem and had several spills.

People need to stop obsessing, it's only a bit of gravel rash.

Dunno, i guess it depends how fast you ride. Wink Personally, i ride with enough protection on that if i come off and slide up the road, its not going to skin me to the bone. Ok, its not going to stop some cager smashing me up if i come a cropper, but if i manage to ditch it in a fast corner, at least i know i have done as much as i can to limit the amount its going to hurt me.

You want to ride in jeans, fair play to you! Chicks dig scars, we all know that! Its all down to personal preference how you kit yourself up, and personally i'd rather be over, than under-protected.

Of course, im not saying i'm right - far from it - this is just my take on a many angled situation. (Plus, the missus would take my keys away if i came back with legs like that!lol!)

Damn right!

ToGGoT, he normally wears boots and was going to invest in some of those Icon jeans that have all the armour in.

I'm with Bonny though ever since I started riding I have worn jeans 50% of the time.

Just looked at the bike and its fucked, really gutted for him.

It's my turn for a say, considering it was me who went down, from what i remember, I was at low speeds, hadn't even shifted into second yet, and as i took the corner i said to myself, WTF!! and next thing i know I'm sliding on my back watching my bike leave me behind, it felt as if the bike wouldn't turn, as silly as it sounds, but either way i guess it was my fault, and the whole jeans issue... I have been buying lots of bike gear, and just that day i was looking at some ICON reinforced jeans, but didn't have the funds to buy them yet, next time i hop on a bike I will be more equipped, as for now I'm just glad i can walk, Cool

Dunno I have been told I can just straight up swap a complete early k series GSXR front end on.

Or just browse ebay/craigslist for a new front end.

L'il McGee...... Welcome!

I'm glad you're alright, was slightly concerned when your Big bro told me you'd crashed, I think my initial reaction was 'He's not old enough to ride, can he even reach the floor yet?'

Laughing Glad you're ok Mini-dude!
