The weather

I braved the dreadful weather yesterday for a few miles, about 6 miles actually. My mate came over from Liverpool on his new VFR800. Got 2 miles from my house and he dropped it joining a sliproad, only the second time he's ridden it and the first time with his new leathers and lid. Bloody weather

Get well soon that man

Thanks, plowsie. He escaped with a few cuts and bruises so it could have been worse.

I imagine his pride was more dented than anything

Never mind that!!! What about his viffer??

few scratches i would imagine bet that was a choker on a new bike.

Wow thats bad luck, still the main thing is he,s ok and the bike can be sorted through the insurance, hopw he,s back riding soon

Pride and VFR damaged but repairable. The bike's in my garage now and the damage is LHS front and lower fairing thoroughly scratched, clutch lever slightly damaged and a scratch to the plastic around the rear grab handle. Someone's coming out tonight to take a look and give an estimate.

Worst thing was the bike wouldn't start so we had to call the RAC out and get the bike collected. Not a good day.

Ohhh nasty. LHS Viffer VTEC can be expensive. There is the side-pod radiator, the coolant header tank and the battery on that side. Whoever looks at it will need to remove the fairing to get a good look. Take off the seat and check the battery connections (lhs of seat and top of fairing panels) as it does not look a right secure system to me.

Let me know if I can help at all.
