It's that lack of respect for the 125s that is tearing the club apart! That and they hate n00bs! ;)
plus saturday will be better
Well, obviously.
i dont hate 125's
its just hard work on a 250 mile ride out, as you have to wait too long for them.
its fine on the shorter runs, and i have to be back for 3pm
but whats tearing the WRC apart is new members joining, then complaining about things, if they dont like it ..... they know where the door is,
anyways, we is going off topic now, and i can see a mod with a big stick coming
so see you at tescos ystrad at 9am

At the top of this photo the metal bar that is sticking out is supposed to go all the way across, but, the chain had that out too, so, no clutch... Also, I think it sheered the wiring for the oil pressure sensor...
She is being fixed Wednesday and I should be ready for another ride out soon.
I also hope the Metalangel is OK after his mis-hap.

Don't make me hobble up the street to knock some sense into you! :crutches:
This was in no way your fault - it was me, I binned it, there was no-one else around to have caused it except me, and I accept this as a learning experience - I've especially learned that I don't want to try my luck again incase I've just used it all up :p
When I get all healed up and Pointy is either repaired or replaced I will get back in the saddle and you can look forward to seeing me at future rideouts, arriving 15 minutes after everyone else. :wink:
(I'm not even on crutches, dammit)
So please, tell me you don't blame yourself so I can stop worrying. And don't stop posting rideouts, I had a good laugh today before AND after the event.

Yeah that was me... we came down through Abergavenny (I needed a cash machine to pay for my taxis to hospital) and I asked the driver if he was planning on parading me past the bus station crowd ;)
I saw several SVs on the way down, mostly curvys.
So how did it happen? Good job your alright though mate!
Came down steep hill on the other side, through s-bend, back up this hill, slowed down as it was pretty tight, as I leaned over bike went out from under me. Splat.

Well could be worse you could be going to the land of scrap with it.
But i smell a GSXR conversion on it coming already.

Cheque arrived today for £3,100, which is indeed what I paid for the bike minus my (unreasonably large as the policy was originally for a crappy CB500 I didn't really care about) £400 excess.
Not sure if GAP can help me get more or if there'll be any more for my ruined jacket and helmet and pants.
How is the knee bearing up? At least it was settled quick, sometimes they can argue for months/years!
metalangel
15-08-09, 01:27 PM
Knee is getting better, thanks, I can now use both legs to go up the stairs (and very carefully back down) but I still can't quite fully straighten it and so walking is still taking some getting used to and it still hurts. I also have some delightful bruises on my arms now.
Poking around the JT's website now looking at the used bike section ;)
did you see that £2000 fireblade i posted?

Who'd wanna fireblade!? :pukel:

I know what I want after Suzi, but, I am not telling you because you might buy one :-p
Blackbird might be a bit big...
What about a nice R6 or ZX-6R?
metalangel
18-08-09, 01:49 AM
Yeah, I don't wanna pay like £500 for insurance on whatever it is I get next, which is why the VFR is out as is anything that's a genuine superbike like an R6 or Ninja or whatever.
The new Ninja-alike ER6f is kinda cool but if I had a Kawasaki I don't think I could bear for it to be yet another green one, I'd want it to be orange!
So I probably will end up with an FZ6 or GSX-F at this rate.
I'll have plenty of time to think about all this when I'm back at work tomorrow (yeah, my 'vacation' has been very pleasant, finished three Xbox games) and I start ordering replacement jacket/pants.
