Re: my field trip
 

Ouch :( heard about this, glad your fairly ok fella.

Don't think autosol is gonna work this time

Re: my field trip
 

yea might be abit much to polish out.

Re: my field trip
 

thanks to lissa for the "in the field pic's."

Re: my field trip
 

Blimey, that shoulder is a lovely colour:smt103

Looking at the pics again I still can't believe you managed to avoid all that wire!

Re: my field trip
 

Kwak, is that bra strap marks?:p
Seriously though glad you weren't hurt badly, shame about the bike, hope it can be repaired.:smt088

Re: my field trip
 

dont seem to bruise where the slings been?

Re: my field trip
 

bikes scratched to buggery, i think i missed the wire tho.

Re: my field trip
 

i'm quite sure the front tucked under braking because of too much pressure? my fault which ever way i look at it:(

Re: my field trip
 

Hey Daz, thats a real bummer, but it looks like you came away ok from it. I guess your collerbone went under initial impact of hitting the ground, then luckily no more injuries from the fence. Such a shame to see a lovely bike all bent, but don't beat yourself up too much about the fault issue, we all have lapses, I am still cursing myself over mine. Heal soon!

Re: my field trip
 

:( Get well soon mate

Re: my field trip
 

As I said to Pete the other night, and will say again now, when we came round the bend and saw you in the field, I first thought that it was just some random biker. It was a real shock to realise it was you, because you hadn't been riding recklessly.

Re: my field trip
 

:smt056 thanks lissa, i do like my corners but i couldn't stop that one from letting go:confused:

Re: my field trip
 

That wire does look scary - cant imagine what would happen getting limbs caught in that lot.

Re: my field trip
 

Huge bummer there... heal soon, mate.

Re: my field trip
 

Ouch... +1 on the Glad your okayish front...









Are you gonna re-build her?

if not can I have first dib's on your engine.... ;-)

Re: my field trip
 

if my insurance cat d her i'll ask how much i can have her for. a rebuild will be easy compared to the last one.

Re: my field trip
 

Bit harsh, calling him that.


:lol:

Re: my field trip
 

:(:(:(

Re: my field trip
 

But your the king of T-Cut and autosol, surely you can do it ;)

Seriously though, glad your ok, that looks like it could've been alot worse than it was, heal soon buddy :smt056

Re: my field trip
 

bike looks worse than i was expecting

not sure if even you & your autosoling can repair it

glad you are not too badly hurt though

Re: my field trip
 

Don't worry about if it wa your fault, if it was hey ho we all ***k up now and again! The main thing is you're not too badly hurt and the bike is repairable!

GWS

Re: my field trip
 

thanks peep's:) this being off work aint too bad:)

Re: my field trip

Re: my field trip
 

cheers lylej :)

Re: my field trip
 

tell me about it mate ;)

Glad you're starting healing, and keep us posted on the bike etc. I know you said you wanted a 650, but it's a bit harsh, getting a broken collarbone to get one. :lol: :p

Re: my field trip
 

:):):)

Re: my field trip
 

reckon that dent in the tank is he other half of your broken collarbone?!

Re: my field trip
 

you maybe right:rolleyes:

Re: my field trip
 

After reading the other IB thread, maybe i've got the wrong idea here but.....

You rode that back home afterwards, right? :shock:


Whats most amazing is that is still a cleaner looking bike than most. :cool:

Re: my field trip
 

He sure did.

You got a pic of your "new" gear lever Kwak?

Re: my field trip
 

Nasty. Get well soon.

Re: my field trip
 

Nasty get well soon mate well done for riding her home mate

Re: my field trip

Re: my field trip

Re: my field trip
 

amazing what you can do with a plug spanner, thanks to pete, double d, daviesv and james for fixing her up:) well i think you 3 did it, i was abit dazed at the time:)

Re: my field trip
 

How did you not break your clutch lever, i droped mine in the garage and it pinged off... sigh. That was some good handy work there! well done!

I still dont get how you managed to ride all that way after waiting around so long too, how long was it from accident to home?

Re: my field trip
 

And DavieSV, who provided expertise, gaff tape and, most importantly, Hobnobs!

DoubleD also provided several pints of blood.................never seen anyone cut himself so much!:D

Re: my field trip
 

I thought I'd cut myself too until you pointed out it was DoubleD's blood. He did bleed everywhere (sorry DoubleD but your fingers just seemed to be in the wrong places at the wrong times).

I'm still quite impressed with the bodged gear lever. Although with it being a thou', I suppose you could go almost everywhere in third gear.:p

Re: my field trip
 

dunno really because the clutch switch snapped off but not the leaver? the R&G's did do there job quite well.
