A testiment to R&Gs - SV650.org

29-10-07, 08:16 PM

I managed to lay my bike down at Brands today coming through Clearways. I was pushing my luck anyway and the front just gave in the end and away we went. Damage report - 3 well used crash bungs, 1 squashed can and pebble dashing frame and swingarm (not so good

). Was amazed it wasnt any snapped or broken bits - a testiment to R&Gs me thinks. Managed to carry on for the rest of the day unharmed. V lucky with the weather too.

Sorry to hear about yet another off! The org must be cursed!

I like R and G as well, they've saved me from much more expensive fixes a few times now.

Sorry to hear.
Yeah you did so much better than us with the weather.

Hope you still enjoyed it, just more expensive than you planned on.

Sure did - cant wait to get my next fix. Just thinking what to do though - sell the bike and get a track bike or maybe just keep on abusing it on there. We'll see got plenty of quiet months to contemplate...

The first crash is the hardest. You stop crying for your bike after that. So if you like it, keep it

Grant dude, sorry to hear this.

That beautiful bike!!!

Anyways, glad your ok fella

If youre thinking of keeping it as a track bike make sure you pop down to those guys at Souther Cross in kilburn i was telling you about. Aprillia dealer who races himself n all that. I'm sure he'd have plenty of advice and parts, lol.
Glad you had a good day for it at least.
