Mr Toad's Wild Ride - pics
 

Well it all started out OK

I counted 80 bikes on the ferry - made a lovely noise when they all started up when we docked in Le Havre :D


Then I fell off :oops:


Then I woke up the next day

The white things on my chest are where they were injecting garlic - trying to convert a Toad to a Frog :lol:

Silly grin caused by the wonderful Morphine (recommended - better than any single malt :thumbsup: )

The Leg - whilst not such a shocker as Rictus's pic, at least it has a decent sized bandage - spot the sneeky French trying to syphon out good English blood :shock:

What remains of the bike - doesn't look too bad at first glance

but get a bit closer

no oil filter, cracked crankcase, displaced oil and coolant radiators
and someone has taken a steam iron to my downpipe :shock:

very bent bars, but levers look OK
R&G torn off - funny that :roll: , hope the newer models are a bit stronger
pegs snapped off



Just waiting for the insurance company to sort themselves out

Leg seems to be going OK - physio's think it is straightening itself, so with a bit of luck I won't have to have it reset :D

cheers

:shock:

Simon... erm :oops:
I don't want to be rude, but what's going to happen to your bike? I can't help but notice that your tank seems to be in perfect condition! ;)

I have to say that downpipe is super-impressive :thumbsup: :lol: - still needs a clean though ;).


.

Thats the new exhaust pipe system from Micron called Serpent. :roll:

Bahh, not all that bad. I had the idea that the bike was in two halfs.

I couple of hundred and it will be like new.

PS (edited). Did not read the bit about a cracked crankcase. Oh Dear.

Bleedin ell. That is one seriously funky pipe :shock: . Glad to hear you're on the mend :P

Yeah, I was scatching my head when I looked at that... I reckon the front downpipe took the full force of the sign post (which was square section, not a tube!). I picked the oil filter up from the road and put it with the bike.. Why ? #-o

The worst bit was when they dragged it up the back of the revovery truck while it was laying on it's side ](*,)

Still, hopefully there'll be less of this :crutches: , and more of this :riding: soon

No-one needs to see this!!!! EVER!

Get well soon mate.

thanks everyone

I have received a number of pm's, etc. regarding 'spares' so once I get it back from the insurance co (assuming it is written off) we'll let the bidding commence
- or perhaps just let the vultures round with their spanners &

hammers :D demolition derby - last one standing gets the parts :lol:


cheers

:shock: Glad to see that your on the mend, best wishes.
