Yes, you guessed.
Patch of ice+NSR+Icy road = ;
Front wheel went sideways, front of bike smashed down into the road. Bike skidded into the kerb, I slid down the road on my arse, and I REMEMBER being thoroughly bewildered and thinking "oh ffs, not again! "
Damage?
Chamfered brake lever, front right nose panel is smashed in two places and has road rash, front right lower panel is smashed and and has road rash rear right panel has bad road rash, and I've broken off f*ck knows how many mounting points GAH! I'm fucking pissed off!
This, after I spent 340 quid on the fucking bike on saturday!!! ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/nsrandy/96rs250/ My Bike!

Andy how fast was you going?
Yesterday I was travelling at 20MPH on a NSL road just because it was that bad.  ____________________ Be careful whose advice you buy, but, be patient with those who supply it.

Im never ever going to ride a bike in these waeather condiitions again, its just purely asking for it, doesnt matter how much of a good rider theres always some let foot heavy prick in a car waiting for you, if you get me.
My next bike, hopefully another NSR ill just use it on dry days.
Walked out of college earlier feeling bit tired and down because ive been working a lot, i slipped on the main road it was that greasy  |

Well I've had a look.
The rear panel can be sanded and resprayed, I'm doing this as we speak .
I have a replacement indicator, and none of the internal panels were damaged (heavily - one split but it'll fix).
The top nose cone panel however is a total write off. It'll need replacing.
Well. I've got the bits off. Now i'm getting a f*cking alcoholic drink!

unlucky mate. Keeping my baby locked away untill the roads get in better condition.
It's always after you spend a lot on your bike that you go and have the accidents.
Anyway, thought you were limited to 7k rpm naughty boy  |

Always a real drag when that happens.
Standard reply but at least it was just the bike that was damaged.

Bad luck dude. Hopefully it won't be too painful on the old wallet to fix up.
It's supposed to be a bit warmer over the next few days so hopefully no more ice (down here at least) for a little bit. Definitely weather worth avoiding.  |

It will be a real nice bike .
I'm fixing what can be fixed, replacing what can't...
...Rear panels have gone back on, brake light actuator is jammed in the "on" position, but I'll sort this lot tomorrow .
I might have had a shit day, bike-wise, but at least me and the bike are part way towards recovering from it . ____________________ https://www.bikepics.com/members/nsrandy/96rs250/ My Bike!

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 21 years, 15 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
