Have fun folks, watch the wardens.

Dan

[Carsick]

My **** up in Wales got rescheduled, so I might be coming, though still not sure.

I shall have to decide tomorrow... work commitments during the day might hamper my progress towards the promissed parking space...

[BillyC]

It's likely that I'll be passing through, and probably suited and booted too :oops:

Will see about getting the SV back on the road this weekend, after giving the calipers a clean that they more than deserve :roll:

The reality is always more dull than the imagination leads me to hope :(

Dont get me wrong...if it stops and the roads are a bit damp i'll still get my butt down there. Its just raining a bit hard on and off over here in MillHill :(

Oh dear. surley just an excuse for a :grouphug: then isnt it?

[Raf]

Good to see the regulars again.

Glad you are in one piece lynn, if a bit sore after the accident. I hope you might be able to get your cb argh back, or your SV.

Sorry to see you deck your bike ricardo, but these things happen and the best thing you can do is learn the lesson and move on. As ape said, don't stew on it, it doesn't do any good.

Ride safe people

[TSM]

Woops for me, thanks for all of you helping me on the night.

Got up this morning to take all the front off the bike.

Got a list of things to get done.

In total i broke the headlight, front subframe twisted (i might try to twist it back myself), center fairing is a gonner, clutch lever, gear lever & frame mount, screen, right & left upper fairing & tank dented.

http://www.pyroserve.com/Files/mybikedamage280105-1.jpg

Just wandering if this headlight would fit my 02 bike?

Thanks

[Spiderman]

Ouch TSM... that dont look pleasant :(

Leave it naked... get yourself a nice double lamp set like Apes or Jonboys and leave all the plastic off.

Just like your avatars... would look good naked ;) :lol:

Ah no! What on earth happened? Hope you're okay and chin up, it's no fun falling off your bike but thinking about it from a positive perspective makes it so much easier to deal with. If I can help in any way just let me know.


.

[Kate]

Oh no, what happened?

[TSM]

Turned left, were lots of people on the road, passed them and then had to brake because there was a car at the juntion. I was only doing about 5-10mph when i started braking i did not see a flattened straw had on the ground and well the bike fell down, i came off and it went sliding into the car.

I just tumbled a bit and stood up.

This morning one side of my ass, leg and left wrist are all tense.

Dented ego & bike. But depending on how quick i get the parts, i will have to be bussing it again to work for a while.

[Kate]

Unlucky :( I'm sure the bike will be up and running soon, fingers crossed!

[Spiderman]

Thats seriously unlucky mate. I mean we all look out for things that will affect our grip but at those speeds its amazing what has the power to get you off.
I hate seeing flattened cans in the road for the same reason... a little rain and its so dangerous. Wether i'm on the bike or not if i see on i'll pick it up and put it in the bin.

But a flattened straw?? Whatever next eh?
If it was a McDonalds straw you would prolly be allowed to sue them if we live in america. :(

Cheers Mark.

the lights dip the wrong way, so no.

[Valman]

That is really unlucky Ricardo, hope it's not too expensive to repair. Has anyone else noticed that recent accidents/offs involving those from the "Soho Massive" have all taken place on a Friday?

Don't tel me that doesn't surprise you, bikes and late nights in urban areas in crap weather don't really go together, (plus the added Friday night bravado) and a number of people here have less than 12 months experience on a big bike.

It's not the best cocktail for safe biking is it..... :(

I think this type of accident would have happened with any type of bike i had, as speed was not the main factor.

[will]

sorry to hear about your spill ricardo, glad you're not hurt (physically). hope you manage to get the bike sorted out quickly.

all the best

Will.

[Baldyman]

Bloody Hell, just got back on line (complete with emoticons :evil: :evil: :evil: )
Ricardo,
Glad you are OK, what time did this happen and where?

Should be on the road again by thursday with a new cross between a faired/nakid bike, untill i get the fairing sorted out.
JHS Racing sorted me out for the gear pedal & frame mount this morning, and had to order a headlight and front subframe as i tried to bend it back but could not.

[Stig]

Glad that you will be back on the road so soon Ricardo. Look forward to seeing the mutation on Friday :thumbsup: :wink:
