Streaky Bacon!

Post by bald_pig »

The storm decided she didn't like me this morning, and threw me off on the M25! I'm fine, but the bikes looking sorry :(

Crikey mate that's not what you want! Good that you are not mangled. Falling off on a motorway would scare me witless. Where did you end up ??

I just rolled along in the lane lol. I've come out with a bruised elbow, bruised shoulder, and a grazed forearm.

Engine died and locked the rear, I pulled the clutch to let the wheel roll and she spat me over the top!

glad to hear you are ok mate, rest up for a few days and figure out the best/cheapest way to repair the bike, other than the obvious damage, i suspect you'll have a bent front subframe.... :(
iirc i have one in my shed that's just a tiny bit wonky and the fairings still fit, it's yours if you need it mate, i'll be back in the uk in a couple of weeks. post up a list of parts needed, i'm sure we'll have most of what you need mate

Ouch! Hope you're okay and if you need panels fixed or I have spare in stock.

Looks like you'll either need the clutch cover fixing or replacing.

sh1t glad you are ok, as others say the bike will mend.

is the back tyre still locked even with the clutch in, or was it too late when you pulled in the clutch?
