Binned it.. DOH!

Dumb arse. Don't do it again or I'll have to give you shit

Dont have any batteries for digicam atm, but put it this way. My leather pants just have minor scratches, vs the whole top of the right shoulder of the teknics jacket ripped to shit, the right elbow "pocket" for the hard armour mostly ripped off, and assorted other rips and tears. Basically wherever the cordura made contact its wrecked, vs the leather being a bit scratched.

Synthetics are made to crash once. Same theory as cars that disintegrate in a crash leaving just the passenger part intact - it takes energy to break the things rather than transmitting that energy straight through to the person/people

Wonder if it was the same ditch that Warr went in ??? :P

Just not good binning bikes new or not.

I was interested in your speed. Sometimes at the lower speeds loss of traction can be caused by not having enough revs. That causes a 'coasting' effect with the result that a bike will 'drift' off line. Couple that with gravel and traction becomes almost nonexistant. I'm sorta picking that this might have happened.

Bottomline is that bikes can be fixed bodies a bit more difficult.

Sorry to hear man, lucky you are ok though eh.

Thanx for coming yesterday, bummer about the bin.
This shot was taken about 20 min after the bin

Red one in the front is the bike that wandered off into the ditch. From that photo you couldn't tell except the shoulder on his jacket is ripped.

Aye, that and the headlight poking off at a weird angle.

The green bit of the tank by my right knee is the munted bit, but it just looks like sun streaks or someit in that pic.

Bugger Lias, you were so proud and happy with that bike too. Hope you get her fixed to pristine glory matey.

Working on it :-)

First priority is to find someone whyo can pull the ding out of the tank. Then my mate is hooking me up with free paint matching and cheap paint (works at a paint place), then someone else I know is trying to suss me out the respray for a few dozen with one of his mates... Its good to have friends I tells ya :-)

the respray for a few dozen

Good to see people still using the proper currency these days.
