Jeez mate, sorry to hear. Damage doesn't look too bad. Buy your brother's FXR off him!

You'd have scared the crap out of the learners on the ride!

You're just trying to wind people up, yours was off road on a dirt bike eh?

Darn glad you are ok Andrew. Bike does not look that bad more like cosmetic. I think I'll go invest in a pair of frame sliders

lol he's not 15 till july, so for now it's the "spare bike" and seeing as it corners so damn effortlessly well i don't mind if it's got no power.... might save me getting another speeding ticket (yeah right!)

yeah now i wish i had had them

the subframe is bent sideways a fair bit and a radiator got squished and now leaks, but otherwise the rear was scratched/bent slightly anyway and the front is fibreglass so repairable with a bit of work

i might redo the rear fairings too and have the whole bike looking brand new again, keep the original honda paintjob and all

my homage to the best 400cc bike ever manufactured

Well I've never really crashed on the road(like chrislost).
Only dropped bike in embarhassing manner in middle of road when petrol ran out and I was stopped.

But I did manage to have a pretty good bang up on the track last weekend.
First crash. I am no longer the virgin I used to be.

was going to be fine till the bike got traction and highsided

lucky to only walk away with a bruise. dad isn't happy. i was going to leave the cosmetics and only fix the radiator/mirrors, but he's making me repair and repaint the fairings, which is going to take fukin aaages

and i wasn't even going hard... nor was i speeding... nor was i racing..... so all the things i've been being told not to do were not the cause of the accident.... maybe running on under 5 hours sleep had a part to play

Yeah you are the luckiest I've seen

Just some fairing damage + minor radiator damage + bits of RHS mirror and indicator.

No bent brake lever, nothing else...

The helmet actually DID save you from the barbed wires lol

**motorbyclist** · 22nd November 2007, 12:36

before
after

dent in the tank too....

yeah, then chris knocked it off the tank onto the ground anyway lol

there's a couple of "scuffed on ground" marks among th barbed wire scratches too. pretty glad i was wearing all my gear and i landed mostly in grass without propely hitting the fence (and glad that before highsiding i dodged that power pole)

had that helmet for two years now, i think it might be time for a new one anyway

did anyone's helmet not get dropped/kicked on that ride?

**EJK** · 22nd November 2007, 13:12

lmao you reminded me that Chris kicked my helmet lolol

**Squiggles** · 22nd November 2007, 16:27

Bring it by and ill help pull it to pieces for straightening

**motorbyclist** · 22nd November 2007, 16:36

it's going to live in the shed till the radiator is sorted.... managed to get david's cbr straightened yesterday so hoping mine will be just as successful

Oh you dont wanna touch my helmet... i will take you out...

**motorbyclist** · 22nd November 2007, 19:36

i proposed writing it off and using insurance to buy another one but dad's trying to teach me a lesson by making me fix the fairings.... plus my uncle is a panelbeater so it's not like i don't have the means to fix them....

would appreciate the extra hands bending the rear back though
