OK, one of the annoying things is that on Wednesday I had a new rear tyre fitted and on Thursday a new x ring gold chain and sprocket.
I dont suppose there's a cat in hells chance of swapping them for something older before it is recovered by the insurance company. |

Nonsense. People heal free on the NHS. Insurance claims cost money.

But, & the reason I quoted your particular post is, I reckon they'll write it off so would be a good prospect to buy back the scrap & then you'll get the new tyre & chain ![]() Quote:
![]() How you get the other side to touch down sounds impossible but it's also what makes it much more dangerous & also adds to the naming. So imagine you're going round a bend, especially the end of it you open the throttle too early, rear spins, you shut the throttle & the rear grips again and all your centrifugal force from the bend throws you & the bike up & over to the outside of the bend over the top. I'm at a loss how you manged to highside onto the right from a roundabout! ![]() Last edited by Stu; 17-11-08 at 11:55 PM. |

![]() Oh and leave that Chain and Sprocket kit and tyre alone , Insurance may get a whiff of tampering and make a counter claim against you having tampered with the bike , leave well alone and take that on the chin , that`s my (rummages in pocket) erm ....... 14 pence worth of advice mate ![]() Last edited by xXBADGERXx; 18-11-08 at 12:00 AM. |

Stu, the road which I joined from the roundabout has a left bend straight away so it was a nice sweeping left right left. Maybe a little too sweeping....
I am starting to ache in places I didn't know I had now. I would imagine I will be quite stiff in the morning, ooh err missus. |
