Default Girth is down :(




Set out this morning, snow was a bit wet whe i got up for my phone interview to oz, went to go out of house and covered in snow.


My road is on a bit of a hill and steepens towards the last 15 foot (road is only about 200yards if that).

Being carefully anyway and went to slow down with a tiny bit of back brake and whoop, down on the deck face up the road.


I killed the engine straight away and was thinking "**** the bike!!!!!!!!"

Got myself from under it and then tried to lift the bugger, god thous have a bit of weight to them, finally managed to get the thing up after 4 attempts.

Got back on finally and went to set off again to work and "ouch" my arm hurt, deceided to come home and ring work. While coming back up the road bike almost went again twice, the culprit was ice.



So bike is ok r&g crash bungs, fork sliders and bobbins have done their job, tiny scratch on fairing and scraped left can.

Off to hospital now to get checked over as my back has started to hurt aswell now.

Sounds like your beauty isn't too badly damaged, thankfully.

Guess your injuries are more than likely from trying to lift the bike back up.

Hopefully you are getting checked out as I type, so let us know the verdict asap.
