    My new gloves-Destroved.

    I was bloody lucky when I crashed my 750 It wsn't untill i checked my gloves over that I realised how lucky id been.
    There was a cut clean through two layers of leather and just scratched my palm on one glove. the other glove was smoothly ground away clean through the leather and the kevlar.
    Hmm anyone riding without gloves?

    Lynda--yep they were indeedie the spidis ya sold me-um can I get a credit on em now
    Nahh kidding--hey its the nature of the beast -They did the job they were desighned to do and i can't ask for more than that .
    TS--um well ya see they were actually a brand new pair of spidi's
    Toads--Bikes pretty buggered cosmeticly. Damage so far is.
    -busted top fairing. Mangled gfairing brackets. deep grazed RH fairing lower
    Smashed but still complete LH fairing.
    Both rear sidecovers cracked and damaged. Bent rear subframe, Broken tailight surround.Lh footpeg bracket cracked, Grazed muffler. Grazed fairing blade/screen. Bent handlebar ,busted brake lever. Twisted possibly bent forks.
    Lucky for me I have a spare top fairing and brackets. It would be ridable now if I pulled my finger out and sorted it

    Hi Frosty - got your voicemail yesterday - I'm just glad you're okay - highsides are nasty.

    Hey Tony... Not sure how bad the damage is to the ZXR750 but if your in trouble for a top fairings and you have all the pieces i might be able to plastic weld it for you ? Even if you dont have all the pieces but want a backup one or something just let me know drop it off and give me a week and ill see all the plastic bits you need repaired, repaired.

    P.S Sorry milky your ZXR400 stuff is still here but at least done, will definatly bring it around soon.

    Unhappy

    Bloody hell.

    Glad you're ok. So: hopefully knocks come in threes, and you'll be ok from now on (touches wood).
    Good luck sorting the bike.

    Yeah i know they were those lightweight Spidi gloves, cost about $129 at Colemans.... Im talking about the Spidi Pro Race Gloves..... way stroger

    Get KK to plastic weld your fairings for some beers, he does a pretty good job, and the best thing is that he is cheap lol....
