There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Ooops

Went for a ride out to the east coast today with my brother.
Unfortunatly he decided that his brand new Hornet was far to pretty so he slung it up the road.

Ironically he locked the front wheel on the "O" of the word "SLOW" on the road on the approach to a roundabout doing about 15 mph.

He is Ok and the damage to the bike is minimal.
Cracked front mudguard, cracked headlight cowl, bent gear lever, few scuffs here and there.
R&Gs saved quite a lot of damage I think
I think I was more upset about his bike than he was.

I think he must have got too used to the soggy brakes on his old SV and pulled the lever to hard.
