    Crashed The Hornet.

    Well after riding in a bad M***** F****** mood I Finally binned.

    Been a long time coming, and all I remember is sliding on the ground. And seeing my bike go sliding past. Think I was going around a left hander at about 55- 60 kmph. be for going for a slide... my blinged out hornet looks pretty sad now..

    Head light brackets all smashed off. 2 dent's each side of the tank, left hand exhaust torn to shreds. bar ens riped off, mirrors smashed. carbon fiber cracked,
    Entire exhaust looks bent and whole rear end don't look like its sitting straight.

    gear leaver almost bent in half. Clutch lever worn down to nothing.

    I pulled my bike onto me as it went over, but it jammed my foot and I had to let go as I was sliding. My macna Diamond pants held up ok my left Knee is torn, and a bit bruised, spool jaket both elbows are ripped. hjc helmet saved my arse as I remember hitting my head kind of hard on the curb.

    So this is going to cost me quite a bit if state doesn't pay out... all I can say is ..... I don't no to be honest I'm more gutted about my bike than anything.

    Bummer mate ! Never nice that
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    Matey, from the sounds of the damage to the bike and the fact you went head first into the curb I'm glad you walked away and are not injured...ten finger, ten toes and you can move them all is a good thing. Bikes can be fixed buddy.

    I know I can't ride when I have troubles on my mind. I can't drive a car well either, but cars are more forgiving. Hope it works out OK.

    hahah thats whatit was.. I no its just a 250 but hey... I don't really care it was my pride and joy and my exemption for the 600 didn't get approved. So my baby hornet will still be my streetfighter project.

    Update

    ok State have given me a claim number, and they will "asses" the bike.
    But will not cover my gear that is pretty well ripped and torn. because I didn't take contents insurance on my bike.

    When I asked on the phone the lady didn't say contents would be my gear, she explained it like I would be leaving things under the seat of my bike. Arrrgghhh.

    Oh well what can you do huh..
