Another one bites the dust.. only the Ecosse mob can do it in style :smt103
Still amazed that there was not more damage than that Jim.. Can still clearly picture the CBR doing a 360 flip after finding the kerb! Quite shocked how far it slid then what followed at such a low speed?! :confused:

Ouch! Hope all heals. Bit of hammering and that exhaust will look good as new;) looks like it did save the rear getting a lot of damage though! :)

could it be the end of life for the cbr?
sorry to interrupt guys :wink: the exhaust is fixed(i had the standard can in the hut)and all the other broken bits are off the bike ,oh im ok as well ,well a bit sore about my left thumb and my right shoulder is sore (i hit the deck that side)but a very lucky one considering,and yep it did seem to slide for a good bit as we werent haring it,i think the can took the brunt of it and i think the bike flipped over a complete turn after hitting the kerb ,.it was all a bit of a blur though ,halfway round the r/bout ,lost the front , wallop,grinding noise me and the bike parted company ,looked up to see the bike sliding very fastand hitting the kerb (i was still sliding along the tarmac at this point on my belly ,going feet first:confused:)coming to a stop ,no cars coming and get over to the verge .it really was an oh **** moment ,my bikes a wreck .but when i seen it and got it started again it wasnt as bad as i thought ,,,still its all part of the learning curve ,im a real biker now :rolleyes:
Good ol honda, still started !!

Never mind started... Off it went home with Jim on it :salut:

Flippin heck, that remus sure took a good whack :o .. Glad he's ok though.

Mr Jim...You didn't meet Olivier Jacque at first corner did you? I hope you be mend fast.:cool:
Bloody hell mate, that your first crash then?
well on that bike yeah ,,but not my first ever , i had an 350ypvs and came off that 3 times in 6 month!!nothing serious though ,well not kept in hospital anyway:cool:rd 500 was written off up in glencoe,now that was a BIG off but i walked away unscathed,,talk about dodging a bullet:)
it was all a bit of a blur though ,halfway round the r/bout ,lost the front , wallop,grinding noise me and the bike parted company ,looked up to see the bike sliding very fastand hitting the kerb
If there was nothing on the roundabout that contributed was it maybe just cold tyres Jim?

Glad you basically ok Jim.
Sadly I missed all the 'fun' for some reason I was at the back...
on a happier note (for the rest of you'se) don't I look a fool in every single picture I'm in, specially the icecream one...
