[judecatmad]

OK, photos.....

In the first one, on the surface of it, she looks OK. The second one is where we slid from and where we ended up. The rest are broken bike pics *sigh*

[judecatmad]

And a few more...

Sorry to hear about your off!!! Know how you feel. I am a bit sore at the moment too from a crash on Friday night. Write-up to come. Take care and all the best for you and the bike!

Hey Jude - tis but minor flesh wounds. YT's EL was much worse. Still, it is gutting to have your pride and joy taking a little liedown.

Very much doubt the insurance co would write the bike off for that - unless the frame is bent I'd say thats mainly cosmetic.

Yeah, I saw the damage to her bike - definitely a lot worse than mine for sure.

But for a $3k ginny, the insurance company is going to be hard pushed to sort out all those repairs without writing it off. Could be wrong but there's front forks that need sorting out (they're bent), front mud guard, new speedo, indicators, gear lever, headlight housing, clutch lever, dented tank....wouldn't imagine it'd be worth their time to repair all that, would it?

We shall see If not then great! I'd rather not have to spend the money upgrading just yet. But $1000-worth (plus labour) of repairs to such a cheap bike....?

I was round that bit of road today. It's got a wee straight bit that I've decided I quite like!

As for you bike - you want I should come round and make sure that they will write it off?

[riffer]

Wow Jude!

You arsed off on the S bend on Alexander Road! I didn't think that was possible... you go easy on my test track there - we don't want any more riders hurting themselves on that bit of road. They have the slow down signs there for a reason.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

Looking at your pics, Jude, suggests ouch! ouch! and more ouch! Are those pants still wearable cos I remember you couldn't wait to get them off the other day (!) They did their job though aye! These last few weeks haven't really been your best have they?

Chin up an all that!

Yeah, when I said it was sheer stupidity I wasn't actually joking.....! It's not even a proper corner! Normally it's quite a fun road to ride along, and pretty tame, which is why I went that way rather than Fergusson Drive (which is just an @rsehole of a way to go home).

Just total inattention so that by the time I realised the 50 zone was there, I put on way too much brake and there we go....instant custard!

Dave thinks it may have been possible to avoid coming off, even with the wheels locked and the bike sliding. But as nothing like that has ever happened before I just did the best that I could to try and get the best outcome for me (which was to hit the grass rolling). Was probably more I could have done to recover it, but I'm such a nanna that I've never had a fright like that before!

It's not a bad accident by any stretch of the imagination, but given that the insurance co is probably only going to value the bike at $2000 to $2500 at best, I'm not convinced they will be prepared to stump up for the repairs.

Ah - bum to actually seeing the pictures of the mighty GN laid so low....

Good luck with the insurance claim and (again) let me know if you need anything.

Perhaps we should have a commemorative lunch this week?

Make that a restorative lunch and I'll join you.

Commemorative....restorative....so long as there's beer I think it's a jolly good idea

I'm not in work today so I can't be sure what's planned for this week. We'll sort it out tomorrow. Friday's always a good option tho.
