Default Can't beat a low side crash on a tuesday morning

Got caught out with stone cold tyres. Tipped it into a roundabout and the front just let go. Nice slide down the road, Exhaust can muntered, brake levers and a knackered suit. R&G bungs that I fitted last week did their job.

What feels like a couple of cracked ribs too.

Balls!

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Please see wanted section for parts requests. lol Help a brother out. lol

Ooh ouch

Hope you heal quick, at least you can be smug in the knowledge that you'd got the bungs on!

Ouchy! Glad you're relatively ok and a sign of the changing season methinks. It's just gone from lovely to bleedin 'orrible here and I have to walk home in a few minutes...in a dress.

You'll have the bike sorted in no time, but if your ribs are cracked...take it easy dude. Heal well x
