Battle scars from the Cat & Fiddle

[DavieSV]

Glad I had one of those Fixer-Peg thingymajigs from that bloke on here:smt023

After a low side on the Cat & Fiddle on Binky & Lissa's Peak District ride out, an inspection revealed all the sliders did there job perfectly


Bar end sliders ground a bit but saved the lever and body work

R&G's took the bigest hit but did their job well

Swing arm sliders / paddock stand bobbins kept the rear in the air

I had a Fixer-Peg on already, that ground a little then snapped the end off the lever and is still usable

apart from that there is very little damage

The frank thomas textiles wore through one knee down to the armour

All I got was a sore elbow and sore bum

all in all quite lucky :)

[Dave20046]

[Warthog]

show off :p

[DavieSV]

Seggons has sent me the footage of the peaks rideout :smt023

Here! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jANXuhZLCac)

At around 42s, you can clearly see Seggons forks compress over the pothole that I think contributed to my off. I don't think my rear shock could take that hit.

After about 46s, you can see that the bike is raised from the ground with only the Barends, Swing arm sliders and crash bungs touching down.

Without them, I think the repair bill would be a great deal more.

awsome, I wondered if this video would surface, I thought it was one if the corners under the trees as they were slippy.

That corner is ****, I have done almost the exactly the same thing, the surface is terible and the bump on it nearly made me loose my front end once.

[Dave20046]

I'd put the conent of this thread up on a page on the fixerpeg site, and invite others to send you picture testimonials!

[sinbad]

Ending up on the wrong side of the road is a scary business. That corner is a bit poorly surfaced, glad you came out unscathed and with a usable bike.

[Specialone]

Fooking scary though, lucky no other vehicle on the opposite side, i would have shat myself tbh.
Glad it all worked out well (well almost)

Ending up on the wrong side of the road is a scary business. .
Fortunately the bike ended up in front of the rider (as in my case - not sure if that can be relied upon) so hopefully would help stop a vehicle before it reach you.

[thebluelion]

glad your ok DavieSV, But would like to see the vid

Perhaps ian missing something here but there is a link on the previous page to the vid!

[matt c]

wow the people in the cars were really concerned....

[Seggons]

If people want to see this in 720p High Def or 1080p High Def then you can go here.

The 1080p might look horrid, I don't know because I cannot get to that resolution on my monitor. :lol:

[thebluelion]
