R1 DOWN!!!

[Riff Raff]

I WAS going to post that, something like a TS curse? But thought it may be insensitive to TS But I'm sure he knows it's all in jest
Even though it's not, and TS IS cursed, and he's aint never jumping on MY bike hahahahahahaha err

Course I sat on it too, and I sat on TS's gixxer before he crashed it. I've never sat on Frosty or Loose Bruce's bikes so I'm probably not the jinx. Ah, I know, when I sat on the R1 I was wearing MR's leathers, so it's probably all his fault!

I have reasonably good intel that the Skytower is an alien transmitting tower, with some unfortunate side effects for the Orks

*EDIT* Embarrassing spelling mistake corrected!

Sorry to hear about the bike Martin. Was that just after I saw you yesterday ??

At least you know a couple of people that can fix it up.

Na. It was later that night. (about 12pm)
Yeah I think i already have a lever and footpeg sorted.
Then it will be nearly back to normal. (or as close as it will get for a while)
Paint work can wait.

Tough luck dude .
We all have these moment's when you ride bike's . I keep telling myself to focus on the road & surrounding's . It's hard but it has saved alot of crashes & close call's over the year's

Not good at all mate! Like the others have said, at least it (and you) still goes eh. Imagine if you had the R1 just for decoration in your gargre! Oh the humanities.
Just a quick Q: I thought crash bungs were to protect the fairings too but are they mainly just to protect the frame and other 'vital bits'?

[Sparky Bills]

They usually do protect the fairings. (did on the right side)
But the left hand one broke off!! It did take the hit well, but then broke off and the fairing touched.
Am at work today, We have a couple of R1's (wrecked) at our warehouse, so am gonna rob some goodies off them.
Titanium exhaust may be on the cards!!
Just need to fix up the scratched fairings.

Must be a bugger working where you do!!! Hows the knee feeling now?

[Deano]

Of course every motorcycle accident can be avoided - don't ride.

In fact, stay in bed, even safer.

Yeah right.

Bad luck Sparky - hope its back on the road soon.

Stoney has an R1 in his gargre just for decoration

[fritter]

[JohnBoy]

i hope you contacted the roading contractor and gave them shit. if thier company is any thing like ours then you should be able to ping them for it, as long as you got a good witness / story.
