Well folks it had to happen I took a spill this morning in the rain Just came round a corner and while leaning over the back tyre lost grip in one of those big white arrows ending in a broken brake leaver and a very tiny scuff to the very end of the muffler and a little gravel rash. So guys and girl watch for the white markings and drain covers as they are slippery as shit too :crybaby: :doctor:

Ouch - well at least you're okay, and there's plenty of ginny parts around! Valuable lesson learnt I guess - I avoid riding over any painted lines like the plague whenever I can (even in the dry I don't do it!) :yes:

Are your tyres in good nick?

I don't know much about tyres... get the rear the same as the front I guess. But anything has to be better than the stock one. :gob:
I have a pirelli city demon on the front and am quite happy with it, so I will probably get a matching rear.
