That's a problem with the universal acceptance (years ago) of brakes on the right and gear changing on the left. Before, in the good old days (Yawn), the rear brake and gear lever were on the other sides, so in a spill you still might have one working brake.

Some zip ties might have temporarily held the rad. Always worth carrying some big ones under the seat together with a fixer peg, spare set of levers and puncture repair kit. Easy to say after the event though.

im guessing you was sat on the seat before you came off?
ice warning, get on pegs off roading style spend most of my 7 miles to work on ice and keeping slight amount of control, and as for braking the car in front has there rear bumper at the right height so that your tyre hits in only and thats how you slow down/stop

oh almost forgot gws and good luck fixing you the bike.

pete ha yeh and then theres the point of carrying it all, its diforent when doing more than 20 or so miles butjust seems pointles for 14miles well did until today

i think im going to get a spare brake and clutch lever in the back just incase and atleast its safer than a short term fix


^^ lol to the above post im not standing up for 14 miles lol

dont worry about the bike or your self pal, its your ego thats gonna be the hardest to fix. Out side collage, oh nuts :O you'll be known as "that guy" forever more.

Glad your not too hurt tho fella, all will heal.

^ yup but its not that bad as im now know as that kid that has a 650 at 17 :P and not a 125 so not all bad and im no show off but the upsides sort of balance out the down sides

lol even the 30+ yearold care takers were amazed that i was on a 600 people know nothing thogh and probs thorght i was riding it ilegaly

the anoying part was that the princible was there aparently and just fu*kd off even thogh he saw it happen

[Dave20046]

buy a fixer peg (daviesv sells em)

woo im a happy bunny to day the handle bar clamp bolt was not bent it had come lose and the other had twisted puling the bars back slightly making the bolt apeard bent

still have to remove the bloody yoke thogh to torque the bolt....typical

and my new avon storms came a blimy the tred is beefy compaird to the ones i have on there, also only cost me £65 for front at £72 for the rear or somthing like that dont have the paper in front of me

Glad the Yoke wasn`t too much of an issue , thought as much , they are quite beefy to be honest , the bolts aren`t so they tend to bend or get the threads stripped on them despite their size . The Storms are a good all round tire , but still be very wary on Ice ok .

^yup

and yeh i know i just hope the dont take to log to bedin i have scufed them up with some sand paper as told buy the shop i got them from

seems like i have done my sholder in a bit it has gone verry stif and a bit painfull will see how it goes
