One speed triple...sitting on the road.....
If one speed triple was to accidently fall,
there would be one ****ed off dan sat by the road.

Yep. Droped it this morning hit some road ****e/ice/salt/somthing while breaking.
Slid the front of the bike under the back of a car. The poor girl was distraught, sat there crying. "I didnt do anything" *sob*

Gave my details, and tried to calm her down a bit, said everythign was ok, im fine your fine, were get this sorted out, etc...

I would like to thank the woman at number 15 of the road i crashed on, who 2 hours after the accident let me in to take a leak while i was waiting for the recovery truck, she even made me a brew! :D (Quite cute as well ;) )

Anyway, all good fun. And cheers to Swiss who stoped (I think mainly to gloat, but im sure he did really want to help :lol: )

Damage to the bike, bent leavers, dead clutch cable and front headlight bracket. I'll be back on the road shortly, when i go and get my spanners on her... (Oh and when Rictus pops arround with some goodies! Cheers Mark! :D )

Ice on the roads was everywhere in my area yesterday, nearly fell over myself while walking. Well at least i would be a tad protected as my normal jacket is my bike one.

Sos dan.

Glad you're OK and hope that you get the Twipple sorted quickly. I've just ordered some R&G's for mine as things are a bit slippery out there at the moment. I think that they arrived yesterday, but the f***ing stupid postman didn't ring the doorbell and just stuck a card through the door saying that they were too big to fit through the letterbox.

oops! At least you are ok and everything is fixable.

Isn't this the second time within a week the bike has had a magnetic attraction to the floor? :P

Ouch. Glad you're okay. I had a bit of a slide on ice last night, but managed to keep it upright (unlike last time). Hope the bike is fixed soon.

That's a bummer Dan, sorry to hear this. At least you're okay and the bike is easily fixable. Keep your chin up, it's easy to do in this very cold weather. A big thumbs up to Mark for (always) coming to the rescue.
