My first scottish crash - SV650.org

Has not managed to turn and instead to correct the situation only worsened its braking and that's what happened...

Very very big thanks to Tristan for the phone number of moto assistance company.
P.S. I`m ok, and the biggest problem with front wheel, I need to change it, maybe somebody can give an advice where to buy BLACK front wheel?

Glad you're ok, that looks like it had a lot of potential to go very very wrong. Stone dyke's dont tend to move out the way for you.

Hope you get the bike fixed soon.

First thought is to sell it...on the other hand it is very good and damaged just a little bit..Anyway, looking for a front black rim or potential buyer for a tempting price =)

Bad news amigo. Could have been a whole lot worse by the look of it though. There's nothing worse than that feeling of fecking up a corner, knowing you shouldn't hit the brakes... But Having to hit the brakes!

Ps- did you know your front tyre is a different profile to standard? Does it make a difference?... In theory i believe it should have more tyre on the road for fast cornering!!

Crash tester! Unlucky pal. Now at tempting price I'd but it. How tempting is your offer?
Btw forks will most likely be bent. My rim buckled slightly from a little low speed and bent the forks

I don`t think so, there was no hard shock, just sliding

Welcome to the family!

Glad you bounced good.

Another front rim should not be too hard to find. On here or phone around the bike breakers.

I would also change the front tyre for some other type. It will help restore some confidence.
