    I'd say in hinde site, always wear the best of clothing, I was.

    Don't go out like this:

    Sneakers
    Shorts
    No gloves

    Helmet, gloves, jacket, leegings and boots every time or don't ride FFS!!!!

    All I have is my pride and that's ok cause I'm ok.

    Yeah had insurance $23k bike had too.
    Bike slid for about 4-5m on left side, peg gone, side cover on tank inculdes indicator, muffler, handle bar knackered, but big one I guess is console broken as well....???
    Dont think that even got touched but fell off and broke when bike hit the ground cause headlight still works????

    Insurance pay out

    State came to the party. Crashed on the second of this month and paid out fully on the 14th. Guy has bought the bike from turners for 7k and he came around and got the keys. State Insurance are the best. Got a new bike and the premium has not gone up nor the excess. I guess being old ahs some advantages. ahahahaha

    Would you be so kind as to give its replacement the same treatment?
    Cajun would be allowed his one a lot quicker if it only cost us 7K.

    I'd sell his 600 to help pay for it and it'll be no owning two bikes for you, sir! The only reason he hasn't already got one is because we're using the money to head down south.

    didn't buy the same bike again.
    why you ask?
    cause some how, even though i couldnt fault it i would say it's never going to be a great seller.
    so resale would be an issue??
    not sure about this but it did bear thought, trying to look at a positive for the loss.
    on a naked bike you can't go 300kph but man it could accelerate and so much torque
    what i did very much like is the raised handle bars and the distance between the seat and the peddles.
    Somehow the wide stuff on the tank acted like a wind shield or wind tunnel or something and up to 140kph there was no wind noise or buffeting at all, but at higher speeds your helmet felt like it was going to get ripped off.
    i bought a kawka ninja 650r n jude will ride it
    not sure what i'll get for me though...
    suggestions?
    i guess i am a lazy rider so lots of torque
    no cruisers till i'm a bit older though...ahahahaha

    Hahaha... You should ask Unit about the ZX-14. That's got bags of torque and fairings and apparently handles itself very well.

    Hehe looks like I used some flash panoramic camera or something eh.

    Nah all I did was took a pic with an 8mp digicam (not even an SLR). Cropped it skinny to get that effect.

    It does help if you know that's what you're planning when you take the photo so you can line up hills or whatever knowing you can crop the sky etc.

    Probably couldn't print it very big because I've thrown out most of the 8mp but it was only ever for the web to show off my new bike
