first off

[obiwan]

Coming into an S bend at about 30mph, wasn't too tight, went around the first one and then as I was taking the second, a bit of crap blew out of the hedge and landed n the road less than a meter in front of me! (crap being some rusty bit of metal mesh, no idea really) didn't have anytime to swerve, my bike went right over it (while turning) and completely lost all traction.

the bike lowsided onto my right knee and slid into the pavement on it's side with me not far behind. I think I must have blacked out or something for a second or two, but when I opened my eyes, everything was blurry and I ripped my helmet off (felt all closed in and sick for some reason) and looked down, my knee was sort f dented inwards and was filled with mud and gravel and hurt like hell, my hips felt really weird and I felt like I was going to be sick.

Some guy came over who saw the whole thing and called an ambulance, I wasn't really with it though and told him I didn't need one and I needed to check my bike haha

ambo arrived, went to hospital, cleaned up my knee, stitches, hip is aight, just need to rest and take a week off work.

As for the bike, local copper tried to charge me 460 punds for recovery but I got mny friend to pick it up in his van and take it to a garage I live next to fr the time being.

I hobbled in the next day to be told that I needed new forks, new front fender, front fairing, brake leavers, headlights, mirrors, indicators, all (if bought from Honda direct ) would cost me a f*cking grand...including labour which according t them would take 3 hours...A GRAND?

I bought it for that. ): I have no idea what to do, I have no transport, no bike, not much money, feels awful. Maybe I should just scrap it and take my test.

Sorry to hear that dude.

I take it you weren't fully comp on insurance?

To pay 1k for repairs you're probably better off spending that on another bike than repairing it in my opinion.

[P.addy]

That sucks dude.

You could just make it like my CBR

[EazyDuz]

Never buy from a dealers, if you do decide to repair it use Wemoto and Ebay and call local breakers. Would get all that fixed for hundreds less.

Sorry for the off, very random thing to happen with that blowing into the road.

Ouch, sorry to hear that. It's just bad luck, there's nothing you could have done there. Glad to hear that you at least hopped away, and for thinking about the bike first.

Start hitting eBay for those parts, you'll get them for a lot less. Worst case, forget the fairing and "streetfighter" it. Also, check the forks yourself, they may just need straightening in the yokes.

ebay everything and bike breakers. Do it yourself. Might be able to pick up a spares and repairs 125cbr on ebay for a couple hundred will have everything u need.

Good luck! My mate did the same thing in the summer, but it was a cat and not a metal piece of shit and mucked up his forks
I did it with a loose man hole cover as well. But i was going about 15mph and my 125's a tank lol

[JoeDougieDoug...]

Sorry to hear that mate. Hope you're well soon enough!

Y'know, exactly the same thing happened to me on my mates CBR Must be a CBR thing

You will be able to pick up the parts of a lot cheaper than that - check eBay and that, there are even websites that sell second hand parts for bikes - i'll try and track it down for you. I doubt it'll come to a grand if you do it this way and repair it yourself.

Get better soon mate.

EDIT - Not too sure if it'll apply to you, but you can loosen and retighten from the yoke at the top I believe, and as long as your forks aren't too seriously twisted then they should pop right back. Again, thats how we repaired my mates bike and now its as good as new... don't quote me on this though, maybe someone else can elaborate a little?

Damn sorry to hear that. If you need any help with anything you know I'm pretty close by. I've got some tools and can transport small items or a passanger if needs be. (I've been getting practice ferrying my lil sis around and I'm quickly getting used to it. Being uber careful with such a precious cargo!) I'm free most of the time so just pm me if you need anything and I'll give you my mobile number.

I would second the check your forks aren't just twisted in the yokes, mate crashed his ybr and we thought the works were bolloxed, in reality they just needed the bottom yoke nuts loosened and re jigged in the yoke to straighten them!
