Forum curse strikes again (Korn i hate you :P )

Yep you guessed it, i crashed the bike.

Coming to a tight corner a little too fast, panic braked and went flying 50 yards into a cornfield, no damage apart from a small 1 inch scuff on the fairing and a burst front tyre (thats as far as i could tell anyway) oh and sh*tloads of foliage decided to attach itself to me and my bike.

Had to push the damn thing 2 miles to local mechanic, god i hate pushing my bike(especially up hills).

Only a week ago i posted "I havent binned my bike since coming on to the forum" so yeah now im convinced this place is cursed Razz

this forum curse is worrying, i think i'm in line for something big...

maybe i should have a little controlled crash, to get it off my back.

Zak...........No way.
This damn curse is just too much coz I too stacked mine today.
I had been for an excellent thrash round and, so I filled up with petrol.
My plan was to go straight home after that, but I thought I would go the twisty way home (only about 5 miles from home).

I came to a nice right hand bend, thought I would go for it a little bit, so I did, but my front wheel hit a small pothole while I was in maximum lean, my peg hit the floor, and the bike flipped to the left, so I ended up bouncing along the left had grass verge. At this point I thought I could keep the bike upright and tried my best to stop but because of the bumps I seemed to spend more time in the air than stopping. I tried to steer the bike right (back onto the road) but in doing so I shot straight across on to the right hand grass verge where the bike slid (with me still on it).
The bike and myself ended up in a bush in a 3 foot ditch.
I got up okay, but the fairing on my VFR is now smashed (gonna have to do a zimma and get the araldite out) and I am gonna have to buy a new screen.

I liked my red screen!
But black (tinted) screen is cool too.
Fairing damage has been repaired with araldite, its a bit of a bodge but at least its ridable, and you cant see how bad it is from a distance.
