Sorry to hear that Jwlkr. Not much I can say other than you walked away and that's a winner at the top of the podium. The Akaroa highway has had a lot of accidents over the years. It has some deceptive bends espeally on the return trip. There's a couple near the lake where there is no land backdrop and becasue of this you can be into the corner before you know it.

If you have any no claims bonus at present JWALKER, do as LooseBruce says and give it an ugly fix...will save you big $$$ in the long run.

I offered to fix it but he said no.

Y is that worse? if they are going slow on the straights you can overtake them and they shouldn't catch you in the twisties

I did that to a CBR250 once...but instead opted to patch her up for about $600...didn't look so pretty, but went like a bought one.

I don't how you should take that Jeff, is he saying your GRSXR600 is as slow as a CBR250 or vice-versa????
