Did anyone feel the earthquake?

[plowsie]

I've just gone down on the new steed, rider error, no-one else's. I'm not too great but typing so must be alright.

20mph blindish corner(its not even that really, but you approach the parked cars not being able to see them as brick wall in way), parked cars, didn't see land rover coming at me, too much front brake down we went, I'm thinking that there is a lot more to it than this though, summit deffo not right with the brakes but can't put my finger on it, sometimes it needs more brake than others. But all in all my error.

Learnt the hard way in Jeans and Trainers (don't need the critisism I already know), so my knee is cut and my ankle is rather swollen, throttle hand my index finger is ripped on the tendons/ligaments (mums diagnosis). May make a trip to the docs tomorrow.

Bike isn't too bad, added to the battle scars, gear linkage was ripped right off (as in the rod end, ripped off the gearbox), front rim scraped.

So, a new rearset needed and I'm back I think, most of all this brake problem needs sorting!

Si, any train stations near your house? If you are still planning to use the minibus for the AR, I'll pay towards it mate, cos I will be needing a seat :)

[stewie]

Yeah I felt something about about 2.15 ;) sorry to hear of your bike Stu, but the main thing is you are relatively unscathed, go to casualty today though, dont leave it till tomorrow mate.

[hovis]

oh dear.

get your self checked out at the docs, and dont do it again

+1 on the get down the A+E now.

Oh and dont you think it ironic that you are asking the Author of the "Always Wear Yer Ferkin Leathers" thread for a lift after coming off wearing jeans. (which is all I am going to say on the matter :P)

Jeez man, at least your ok.....it didnt have square tyres down to the canvas did it lol you crazy fool ;):D

[muffles]

Don't be silly, there was no canvas left of course ;)

Unlucky Stu, sorry to hear of this, hope you recover soon. Did the CBR sell in the end btw?

[Dicky Ticker]

Commiserations bud,have Land Rovers taken over from BMW and VOLVO?as that was what was responsible for my recent off.

[plowsie]

Whats even more ironic Mr Soulkiss is that, I passed my car theory today, 65 out of 75 in hazard perception :(

Muffles, dunno, fred flinstone that lives on barney rubble lane won it so I doubt it.

Will try to sort it all out, if not will just get the train all the way there. Hve left it for tonight, not up to looking at it. Will let him know tomorrow.

I feel like such a failure at the mo. Screwing up a CBR and now crashing my new steed that I felt so good on and felt at home with.

[dizzyblonde]

awww poor plows...ere mate, your not a failure, just bad luck...you'll feel better in a day or two. We all have days of silly bikedom...chin up lad.X

[MR UKI (1)]

Jeez Plowsie, what rubbish timing. Hope you get it sorted and get yourself down the hospital or summat mate.

[aadeyc73]

All I'm overly bothered about is the rearset then I'm running, Need the bracket, the heelplate, rod and gear shifter.

3rd time. 1st two were inexperience and stupidity, this one, was overcooking the brakes because I think I am having probs, still my error. Wouldn't say too much to lose track of...

But yeah I know.
