One speed triple...sitting on the road.....
If one speed triple was to accidently fall,
there would be one ****ed off dan sat by the road.

Yep. Droped it this morning hit some road ****e/ice/salt/somthing while breaking.
Slid the front of the bike under the back of a car. The poor girl was distraught, sat there crying. "I didnt do anything" *sob*

Gave my details, and tried to calm her down a bit, said everythign was ok, im fine your fine, were get this sorted out, etc...

I would like to thank the woman at number 15 of the road i crashed on, who 2 hours after the accident let me in to take a leak while i was waiting for the recovery truck, she even made me a brew!

(Quite cute as well

)

Anyway, all good fun. And cheers to Swiss who stoped (I think mainly to gloat, but im sure he did really want to help

)

Damage to the bike, bent leavers, dead clutch cable and front headlight bracket. I'll be back on the road shortly, when i go and get my spanners on her... (Oh and when Rictus pops arround with some goodies! Cheers Mark!

)

Ice on the roads was everywhere in my area yesterday, nearly fell over myself while walking. Well at least i would be a tad protected as my normal jacket is my bike one.

Sos dan.

As already covered:

Glad you're ok, and the bike's fixable, that's what matters anyway.

Glad you're OK and hope that you get the Twipple sorted quickly. I've just ordered some R&G's for mine as things are a bit slippery out there at the moment. I think that they arrived yesterday, but the f***ing stupid postman didn't ring the doorbell and just stuck a card through the door saying that they were too big to fit through the letterbox.
