[Wonko The Sane]

Stopped at a traffic light waiting to turn right, got shunted from behind by a car skidding to a stop.

apparently I stayed stood up throughout.

Travelling down a single lane road, and hit something, got a bit of a wobble on, and hit grass at the side of the road. Wobbled along for about 20 meters before chucking my bike down the road at about 35ish mph.

Surprisingly little damage. Mostly taken by the side case.

Slight scrape to the side of the engine case,

Most of the scraping taken by the side case. Its also snapped the pannier rail at one of the attachment points.

Brake pedal totally fubar. Its about 2 inches higher than it should be

Nice scrape to the lid

Although you probably don't feel it, you've gotten off pretty lightly by the look of things. My first bike was written off after crashing (SMIDSY) at approx 30mph.

Looks like your side case worked better than some crash bungs

Any idea what you hit and are you okay? Apart from being a little pi$$ed off no doubt.

Nm when I said I wanted a show and tell of today in chat last night this isn't what I had in mind. Still interesting though

Aye...It's always the next day that it gets you. I felt fine after my off, until I tried to lift my head off the pillow the following morning. I literally had to put my hands around the back of my head to lift it up.

Glad you and the bike are pretty much okay.

Did your lid take much of a knock or could you just replace the visor? Then again, with the price of visors, you may as well get a new lid I suppose. It's a perfectly good excuse for one anyway.

Just been on the phone, and the brake pedal is a part only made for the woodsman for a few years.

Hitchcock's system are showing none in stock, but they think they might have one in a box of stuff somewhere.

Looks like my plan of being back on the road on Wednesday is out the window, unless I can bend the old pedal back into shape

I'd have tried it first thing. If it breaks, you're no worse off, right?

Lowsided my newly acquired second-hand SH300 about 5 miles after putting new tyres on it. I got it on video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmJtMxvXsyo

I suspect some oil on the corner contributed - there's a bit of a trail leading up to it - and I probably leaned a little too far too soon for new tyres. You can see the front slip before hearing the scraping noise from the centrestand.

A few light scratches on the fairing and a bent brake lever is the extent of the damage. A mild bruise to my ankle (in padded street boots - not too bad), and some muscle pain in my shoulder is about it for me. Speed through the corner not very fast, about the best you could expect for an accident really, apart from a soft landing in grass.

Fell over at low speed in a carpark.

Wet morning, wasnt on form riding in, had a few iffy moments of my own doing. Made it to work safely and as I pulled in to the tarmac moss covered car park (which I know is slippery) I grabbed my front brake for some unknown reason (most probably because I am a bellend).

Kathunk. What a lemon

Broke my front brake lever and the pedal for the rear brake is pushed right up. Also have a leg covered in petrol as I only filled up this morning and I was wiggling under the bike for 5 minutes. Its going to be a long petrol smelling day

[Minty]

Who first stopped numbering these spills? Bring them to my quarters.

No number? I want a number I was hoping to avoid the thread this year...


I hit some ice tonight on way home from visiting my nan. Front wheel went in every direction other than backwards and I slid along the road on my tits. Gear is good, only elbow bruised/twisted. Front fairing smashed** and front brake lever obliterated. Frame some minor scratches that will polish out

** Again. I only done a fibreglass repair two weeks ago, which I was quite proud of. That means I will need to fit the new fairing to commute, while I make the broken spares (2) serviceable. Its white ABS and will look shit

[hellkat]

Kramdra, you can have number 21 (by my calculations)
This thread is nearly over now for this year anyway.
Minty will have a conniption if it's not properly numbered next year.

Is the spill counter particularly high this year (know I could check but effort)?

Seems like there has been a fair few, and some of the more experienced ones too.
