    First road crash

    Managed to crash into a courior post van about 3weeks ago to date. Did it in a Sachs XTC125. How did i do it in such a small bike.... easy. Massive brakes, workplace yard and a building that didnt have windows in that particular area.
    Most fridays get the bike out and run it for a bit and i go at a reasonable speed. Came round on a racing type line and saw a courior van slowly emerging from my works parking lot. Hit the kinetic stoppers and the bike immediatly dropped as i was on a good lean, bike hit the ground and slid into the 2005-06 toyota hiace. Did wat seemed to be minor damage to the van but now the driver needs a new bumper and underbody panels not to mention a rental van for a day. The real bitch is the bike isnt available in new zealand and i absolutly stuffed the headlight fairing( trying to get welded) and smashed the headlamp. does anyone know of a similar bike that has similar pieces. headlamp similar in deminsions to yamaha FZR '91. No in juries at least.

    At least you came out okay, that's the main thing.
    They're a nice looking machine.
