Well after 5-6years of riding in all weathers the ice got me and my little cg this morning, bike has slightly bent handle bars and my muffs have a few friction holes, Im okay but bloody sore in shoulder arm and back now, prolly get worse by morning.
Happened coming towards the mini roundabout at the bottom of higher lane, water runs off field and must have froze due to lack of grit. Luckily cars behind had slowed as I heard them skidding when I went down. Paint attached. Will remove bars and straighten tonight.

You`re still in one piece and that has to be good
Slightly bent bike can be fixed

Hi
Bike fine, tiny scuff bout 1cm on end of exhaust and a tiny scuff on headlight and clock, hardly noticeable, scraped footpeg rubber. Bars are bent about 2 inches back on one side, in the vice tonight Forks are straight and look fine Muffs will be repaired with gaffer tape, just a few small rips.
Weise XBlade 2 covered in ice and dirt no rips or damage I can see along with the RST Rift pants but they are 5 years old and falling apart anyway, hemet has no marks or scuffs so should be ok.
Bike went down on its right side and I went off and over the left lol.
Pushed it to the bottom of the hill and it fired up after 2-3 turns, will be a bit strange riding home tonight with bent bars .

Glad you're relatively okay and yes, you will hurt considerably more tomorrow. So that's something to look forward too.
Hope you manage to get the bike sorted for not too much ponds too

New bars ordered OEM from Honda £45, pattern parts were £28-35 and I think I would have to drill locating holes myself.
Will get them Saturday and be back on the road Monday , Gritters have been out were the ice was, wonder if I can claim damages .
Suppose I will put it to experience. ____________________ 07 Yamaha YBR125, 07 Honda CG125 , 15 CBR300R (Chocolate Crank, Deaded), 16 CB500FA, 19 Honda Forza 300, 70 Suzuki SV650 |
