Hi guys,

Just crashed my CG! Well played me.

Going about 15mph into a car park round a tight corner downhill, next thing I knew I was on the floor and the bike was sliding away from me... First thing I thought was "Shit... My bike!"

Binned it in front of 3 scallies as well (Who didn't help).

Iceland staff came out to lock up, told them to watch out for the road

Had to bump start the bike, but it runs and starts fine now.

Knew something was going to happen, has been a shit ride all day.

What a muppet.

Be very careful.

I was cycling yesterday and at walking pace over a double drain round a corner, not leant over at all really, front stepped out then back stepped out. Luckily I slid over the drain just in time so didnt crash, particularly as I had both feet in straps. Laughing

They're invulnerable those things. Laughing

I imagine a horn connection has come loose.

Unlucky mate.

I'm trying to get through the rest of the winter without crashing again.

Lol no of course I didnt Smile

The damage is worse than I expected:

Ground down the front brake lever
Cracked open the headlight casing (It's warped now)
Front wheel is bent (Nearly lost the front wheel on the way back home)

So it's going into Millenium Motors on Saturaday to be fixed...

Happy Xmas me! Rolling Eyes

If you're riding there, watch out for the roundabout on StHelens linkway outside B&Q, it's utterly frictionless!

I may pop to mmc after work tomorrow so i can see the damage.

Unlucky mate Thumbs Down

Sorry to hear about your bike mate. I didn't realise that anyone from St Helens used this forum. I've just moved back after living in Manchester for a few years. Do you not find MMC a little pricey? I've got quite a few friends in St Helens that will fix your bikes for a fraction of the price. They're all good lads as well. If you want me to put you in touch with them PM me.

MMC is a little pricey, but it offers good service. The tyres it fitted to my scooter were pretty cheap, too. I had to stick with the avons, as the dimwit in the parts department ordered it instead of a michelin. Numpty.

Are there any other decent bike shops in the area, i've only come across the little pokey ones in haydock so far.

I think he means the straps that race bikes have on the pedals to keep your feet on them...

...bloody death traps though, they should be detachable if you come off, like keys in a jetbike.

Bad luck though Toby; it could be worse, if that were a CBR125 you'd be looking at a much uglier bike. Praise unfaired bikes in winter! Praying
