Well I binned it...

[Dodger]

Glad to hear your ok.
and the bike doesn't sound to bad.

I'm yet to bin my Hyo, and not looking forward to when it does happen.

[DMNTD:Me]

did you get the other peice of the gear shifter???? maybe weld it together,as a temp fix until you get another one from the recker or brand new

..or even some Kneed-It will help for the mean time

... and before morning coffee...

Therein lies you problem! Geeeez man what do they teach you in those courses eh?
As Mack mentioned you've basically got away with it very lightly but hell I sympathise!
"Owning the road"...excellent phrase and never realised that I do it.

Heal up bud!

Sorry to hear about the bin, least you are okay and bikes can be repaired (or replaced! ) Sounds like you got some learning experience out of it, and yeah, when I looked out the window to see that slow drizzle ... and had to rush to school, I decided to take the cage and will ride my bike laters! (Ooh..I hear the boos and hisses now! ) At least my pride and joy isn't being exposed to the elements is all!

Have fun shopping for new bling! Howsabout installing some LEDs and a LCD and an oven whiles you at it!

[Lteejay]

Glad to hear you came out of it without too much damage to yourself or your bike. Might see you tonight if the weather holds.

[klingon]

Sorry to hear that tide. The only time I've ever ridden with you was in the rain and I admired how cautious you were about the slippery bits.

The drizzle today has been really bad after weeks of dry weather. I'm still hoping for a nice heavy downpour to wash all the gunk away before I have to go out on the road.

[BarBender]

Trouble is there has only been just enough drizzle to lift the diesel and crap off the road to floating on the surface. Unless we get real heavy rain after such a dry spell, things get real hairy quick.

I agree. Very slippery coming into work this morning. A lot of diesel and paintwork in the middle of the lane made riding through traffic very dicy.

[Morcs]

Glad ya ok mate.

[Chisanga]

Bad luck mate. Some parts of the road were VERY slippery this morning.

Glad you are ok and hope you get the bike fixed up real soon

[pinkhoggirl]

Wow - sorry to hear that Deon. Glad you're ok mate...sounds like minor damage all round when you consider the alternatives...
Take care!!

[Disco Dan]

Yikes dude, was wondering where you got too tonight! Hope alls well... PM if ya need anything.

[Chickadee]

Sorry to hear you binned too mate, welcome to the Ouch Club, a bit like Fight Club but it's not really a secret.

Hope you're back out on the road again soon, once I've got a bulb in my indicator that works I'll be out again too. Just injured pride like yourself, my gear & bike did well not to burst into many bits.

Chin up dude, we learn from these things and it makes us a little safer (when we live to ride another day).

Take care

[deathstar]

well as much people will say oh you could have done this to avoid it ... yes you could have hung back abit but in any situation just a chain of small things lead to someone on the deck and just a fact of having 2 wheels ... if you didn't want to fall over buy a car ... i know when its raining i don't filter and ride half as fast just because i've come off 3 times in the rain with those gn tyres and the gt is better but still not confident and probably won't ever be

[aff-man]

Sorry to hear about your bin man...


But unfortunatly i'm gonna have to say it... Take your mirrors off or stop using them. If you want to see whats behind you then pull back into the lane, if there is a splitter behind ya and they are faster they will pass then.

Oh and no mirrors lets ya split faster

[tide]

The only time I've ever ridden with you was in the rain and I admired how cautious you were about the slippery bits.

Thanks... yeah just a little bit of not concentrating... it happens very quickly

mmm normally say to myself after a dry spell be careful it's gonna be slippery, but for some reason not yesturday, don't think I'll forget in the future...

Yeah riding home last night was interesting... every bump, slight movement I was going oh sh't don't drop it... but this morning was a lot better... split as normal just slower, but not as nervous as last night.

[Indiana_Jones]

Bummer man, sorry to hear that. Just gotta watch it in the wet, espically when splittng, wet cats eyes and paint arn't fun lol

Glad to hear you're ok
