George you titty Love you really, glad your ok mate. Where the fuck are you anyway? I rang your home and your dad sounded like he didn't have a clue about your crash, I didn't say anything either just incase he doesn't know yet. ____________________ Current bikes: 1960 Triumph 5ta x2, TTR600RE, KTM200EXC, Cagiva Elephant 900ie. |

Unlucky mate, the fairing can easily be fixed with some fibre glass matting (done it to mine a week ago and looks really good ) just take the fairing off and tape it up on the outside, trying to get it as tight as you can and then paste the fibre glass on the inside, 20 mins later and should be good may require a bit of wet and dry though to get ot looking really good.

How are you feeling now mate? Get home ok?
Get an early night and have a nice hot bath cos you are gonna ache tomorrow!
Anyway, could have been a lot worse and the bike is not really that damaged.
Next time look through the bend and not at the kurb you are hurtling towards  |

All I hear about R&G's is they bend, they sound well sh*t. Just give people free bungs to keep them happy.  |

| Quote: | I wasn't there, but I doubt anyone expected him to 'keep up'. |
Exactly, I was leading most of the way up until Hastings whilst we were making reasonable/fastish progress I did my best to keep a count of bouncing headlights in the mirrors, and if we were one short we slowed down or pulled over to wait.
Whilst we did make a few jokes about people keeping up with each other there was no pressure to, as we were happy to wait, (e.g. I can carry on destroying my lungs - damn duty free fags).
I believe putting the slowest/inexperienced rider up front to be a bad idea, as it can put more pressure on them (e.g. with the navigating, setting the pace) and can make them make a silly/dangerous mistakes in order to keep the people behind them happy.
I think the order should be, at the front the one with the best navigation skills, the rest in the middle, and the tail end charlie should be the one also familiar with the route and armed with a bit of mechanical knowledge/tools, then if need be the riders in the middle can pair up with other riders of similar experience/skill.
Hope that makes sense
