What not to do after a £400 service
« on: 28 March 2012, 16:29 »
After spending on a service, first MOT and new front tyre on Saturday, I really didn't think it'd end up like this.....

Low sided, I leant too far too soon on a new front tyre and it just went. Should always take it easy on new tyres. Quite what I was thinking at the time, I do not know.

What all people on sports bikes are thinking: one of two things:

I AM A RIDING GOD!

or

I AM A POWER-RANGER!

Damn shame  :cry: as said at least you are ok.

Bet that fairing is going to cost, how much do you think it will cost to repair eveything?

Luckily I was in full leathers, so got up in the road and walked over to my bike.

There's a part of the frame that hangs the engine and that needs welding, had a quote of 650 plus vat for that due to how involved it is. On top of that there's the cost of the fairings etc which I'm not sure about, but don't think it'll be cheap.

Don't tell insurance. Due to the chassis damage. (welding) it is written off. Even with a brand new chassis you will not aloud it back on the road.


To be honest that looks fine. Been around bikes my whole life and seen some sad looking bikes and lost some friends too.

That can easily/cheaply be fixed
