Riding Tip #86: See God, then back off a bit: Problem is i haven't seen god yet, just a close up of tarmac on revett straight

[Gazdaman]

That sucks! It'd amazing how much damage small spills can do.

I low sided on a local roundabout and managed to twist the forks, fuck the bars, break a mirror, break a cooling fin off and break the front brake lever.

Ooooh, is what I said when I seen that dink in the frame. Write off then? Good to see you can still type though.

[G]

Nasty, never liked welded on subframes.


Not a write off if it's not insured damage; may be fixable to some degree with scaffold poles .


Might be worth talking to the MIB, dunno if you'll get anything.

[Norm_Leeds]

My God. I read your first post earlier today regarding this incident.
I have never ridden a bike in all my life and I'm already shitting myself.

And all I have to do is attend my CBT this friday! I suppose I will look like a right muppet turning up in full body armour.

Shit Liz, where and when did this happen - can't do much about the subframe then eh? I hope you're pretty much Ok then? Hope you recover so that we can see you on the roads at the dawn of summer. I guess it's going to be pretty much biking on the bandit then?

Nice to know there are sensible people here because everybody around me are trying to convince me to give it up before I even start. I have begged borrowed and scrounged everything I possibly can.

Sorry for detracting from the original thread but thanks for your support.

(is there a glossary on this site? Buggered if I know what a cager is - or is that just a sign of my age)

Went round to see it last night. Heart breaking. The rear wheel is a good few inches out of alignment and there are a few dings on the main frame as well - not to mention cosmetics, indicators, gear levers etc. Ineed 10 points, both sides of the bike, the front, back and top. Also, Sadie's lid has marks on all four planes, including the top

Incredibly though, exhaust is unscathed.

Sadie was being very stoic though Is all in one piece importantly

All these pigs on the road trying to take the bikers off the road should be jailed ... Or a gang of bikers should pay them a visit.

Thank god you only got a few bumps and bruises (and carpet burns!) (All be it on your shoulder! )

Whats the deal with your bike, you getting it repaired off the insurance, or is that yet to be decided?

[MissFickle]

sheesh.. that shoulder looks sore!

Crumbs just seen the thread. I glad to hear your still hear.

If there any thing I can do feel free to give me a call, I can wield a spanner if needs be.

[Sadie]

[paulthewitt]

how the hell'd you get that on the shoulder? did the skin rub hard and fast against the inside of the jacket? or did it wear through?

3pft sucks in this case, it aint even your fault. just hope they catch the idiot (though i doubt anyone got his plate)
