c_dug Killer of Bikes strikes again!
Riding through central London in a 20 zone and traffic came to a stop, I began filtering but conscious of the fact that there was a junction coming up on the right I was going very slowly fully expecting somebody to pull across.
Low and behold a skip lorry did a one-flash indication and began to swing across me, I managed to stop clear of the skip lorry only to be collected by my friend who was following on his 125, he was a way back and was trying to catch up, didn't slow for the junction, and ultimately he couldn't stop when I did.
He his me so hard it snapped his frame and wedged my bike under the skip truck. Thankfully neither of us are injured but both bikes are gonners - you can't tell from photos but my rear subframe is properly twisted and the forks are dented too.

I can beat that. A car in front of me once indicated his intent to turn right by slamming on his brakes. I stopped and my mate ran into the back of me taking us both to the ground.
Said mate was actually riding my spare bike because his was broken down so I was down two bikes in one crash. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Bit of Duct tape should fix that lot up good, proper job. Probably be more structurally secure than it was before the bump. ____________________ Make mine a Corona. |
