Jimbo750 down!!

[jimbo600]

Well all it seems that I wrote my bike off yesterday going over Paekak Rd. Back end stepped out and my plus bike rode into the scenery. Thanks to Deano Hayden and Cycosis for picking me and my bike off the Rd. Thanks Also to Jo' who dropped me off at home.

The damage could be thus:

Bent forks
Bent Frame
Bent subframe
Broken clipons
Every piece of plastic is rooted
Both Rimms rooted
Radiator wrecked
The seat hump is OK though.

This is an initial diagnoses so it might not be that bad, but Hayden didn't seem too hopeful

I am OK. Very sore chest and hands but no real damage. Wear good leathers dudes as they are worth every cent.

If anyone wins the lotto could you please buy me another bike. Ta

I'm really sorry to hear that, Jimbo - that sux.
Hope everything gets sorted OK, but at least it's good you weren't injured.

[jimbo600]

Yeah mate. Plastic and metal is nothing. Happy to be walking away really.

[svs]

Bugger. can't say much more than that really. Glad you're still in one piece.

Sounds like a good excuse to turn it into a track day bike tho. Got to look on the bright side. If you need a hand with anything, or need the trailer, then send me a message.

[SPman]

Bugger indeed!
Main thing is you're OK?
Insurance??????

[jimbo600]

Can I borrow your bike?................just kidding mate. I think the gixxer is too fucked for a track bike. Cost too much to get it sorted. Cheaper to buy a running track bike. Plus the insurance will cover it.

[SPman]

Ahh...insurance....a nice K4..?

[Firefight]

bad news Jimbo, glad your okay, shame about the damage, but bikes can be fixed, .people arn't always that lucky, yet again another good reason to WEAR GOOD GEAR.


F/F

Bastard,

Glad to your hear all good Jimbo, K4 Gixxer 750 it is then (they come out in december dont they???)

[Cajun]

bac luck jimbo

Two Smoker - there be some 750 in mid october, there are two in country now but they arn't really bring a great deal of them, same with the 600

[Ms Piggy]

Oh crap!! Great that you are ok though. My sympathies are with you!

[riffer]

Urgh.

Not good news.

Glad you're not busted up Jimbo.

At least you did the job properly on the bike. I guess there's nothing worse than busting yourself up, and the bike's sitting in the shop with nothing on it but a few scratches.

Walking away from a completely destroyed bike does tend to give you a bit more of that road mana

Well done for not killing yourself. I guess you'll be pretty sore today and tomorrow. The paekak hill road surface must have been pretty ordinary yesterday. It was a touch cold.

On the plus side, maybe that 750 motor could find its way into a gixxer 600. Do you think anyone would notice?

[James Deuce]

Bummer Jimbo!

I'll save WT the trouble: Your tyres pressures must have been a bit off ya homo!



Bad luck mate, and I hope you get a new bike soon.

[Motoracer]

Oh crap. Firstly, I am glad that you were able to walk away from the bin cause from the discription of the damage, it sounds fucking bad!!

Secondly, this is a reminder to all of us that it can happen to anyone of us and not just newbies...

Goodluck with getting things sorted mate.
