SV Down on top of me :( - SV650.org

19-02-08, 08:46 PM

Was on car park about to turn so wasnt actually turning, was gonig bout 5 - 10 mph ,touched not pulled front brake and bike went down with me about 5 metres and smacked into a car.

Car undamamged luckily but bike not the case, i'm ok just bit of graze on hip and knee and hurt pride, especially considering there was a team of footballing kids bout 10metres away who come over starting to be cocky...

I nearly slapped one, who said oh your bike ain't ****ed up! in a sarcastic manner. Lil tipton ****s lol

I'll get some pics up later

Damage to bike is mostly front where it hit car, completely smashed and l/h/s all fairing scratched and foot peg with heelplate have come off, bracket has snapped, need new blinkers but apart from that, its good, LUCKILY!!!
