I've got an epic biking tale for you.

[Dom_]

I was going down the a50 fairly quickly, started leaning over for the corner, mid corner the bike started sliding and wobbling, then lowsided.

I slid for a good few hundred meters and looked up to see my bike still sliding about 400m aaway from me. After i stopped i jumped up and started running to the bike, at which point Ash T had caught up and rode to my bike which was still sliding when he got to it.

I got a slight bruise on my hip and a possible broken small finger. Fucking lucky considernig the speed i was going.

I came off part way through the bend at the very back of the picture.

Holy Moly. That bike looks shagged mate.

Do you know what caused the slide?

Glad you're ok.

Christ, another lucky crash. Road looks fairly nasty with those walls on either side.

Unlucky Dom like I said maybe look for the cheap fix like a digital speedo for around the £20 mark and keep scouring eBay.

Hope you get well soon fella.

[Kickstart]

Hi

Ouch. Any idea what caused the wobble?

To be honest there is a hell of a lot damaged there. Footrest hanger, footrest, frame, throttle cables, front master cylinder, front wheel, headlights, clocks, etc.

All the best

Hi

To be honest there is so much damaged that it would be better long term to break it an buy another.

While you could certainly bodge it up for not massive amounts compared to a new bike, it would be a bodge and would not be worth much at all.

All the best

Unlucky, write off, break it for spares and sell it on the EBAY network.

Get yourself a new bike, that on in the photos is finished and not worth rebuilding.

Okay now, good luck and recover well please.

All the best

Glad to hear you walked away from it.

Dont worry, Siggi will be along soon to start a 'Help Dom buy a new bike' fund.

Give you £100 for it as it is.

[McGee]

I know that strech of road, I used to use it to go to & from my caravan. Its a bloody fast road and to be honest I was glad when we found another route. Everyone always seems to be in such a bloody rush on there. Theres a few spots where water runs across the road round there, could you have hit a bit of black ice??
Feel for you with the broken little finger, done that twice, its painfull. All you can do is strap it upto the next finger but you tend to catch it a lot....takes a while to heal up. mines still buggered, it bends the wrong way now.

[.....]

Unlucky mate, good to hear you're ok though

[w1ll15]

yea was nuts seeing you running down the road, then i saw your bike and thought OH SHIT but least your ok mate!!

[chalky143]

well glad ur ok and you came off light with that one lol, As for the bike its not worth rebuilding just sell it on ebay as spares or repairs and get it out the way and treat yourself to a nice new bike.

again glad ur reet,

take care people

Guess I'll have a pillion for the summer again!

Very lucky for not getting seriously injured. Are the police following anything up with you? Dangerours driving or something, or are they being nice?
Hope they don't check for restrictors!
