Well, It seems to have become a bit of an initation ceremony for me - dropping new bikes at a standstill within the first week!!

I did it with the SV on day one doing a u-turn on gravel, I dropped the TT in the garage and yesterday I dropped the CBR outside the village shop, doh!! The engine was off and i was sitting on it trying to reverse so we could leave in the other direction but there was a low kerb behind me, and being such a short ar$e I couldnt get it over it, so i went to get off it and somehow managed to bring it down on top of me.

Miraculously theres not a scratch on it, but i have no idea how, someone was smiling down on me

I cant begin to imagine the words that must have gone through Jeffs mind - he buys bikes and then i drop them!!! Hopefully thats the worst that will happen with it

Having said that, our ride was phenomenol, I rode all the way back between 8k and 13k revs (overtaking) and ive never ridden like that before, the bike just handles and sounds amazing.
Im having surgery in a fortnight though, and full recovery may take a few months, but just knowing the bikes sat waiting for me will be the biggest incentive to get myself better.

Did you trade it in with the USD forks or did you remove them?

Lucky you

Hope this isn't anyone we know, I passed the scene this afternoon, but didn't find out it was a fatal one until later.

RIP

Take it easy out there, there's too many summer Sunday bikers out there and its only March
