sickening  :sad:

at least it was just a low side. When mine went it decided to high side me at the last minute, thought I'd got away with it. Came away with torn intercostal muscles (where my arm was by my side when I hit the tarmac) and concussion :angry:

Full leathers or just basic bike gear is such a simple thing to save your skin, the amount of idiots just wearing a T shirt and shorts on sports bikes is unreal

80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

might be cheaper easier to get a new frame. £650 is quite a bit for some tigging really.

New tank - and frankenstein the fairings (drill holes and cable tie the cracks) - she be right as rain!

I had a 7R that was recovered from a tree - had the frame straightened and welded due to it cracking, was fine!

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.

Very honest of you, and D'oh  . . . . . .

Glad you haven't hurt more than your pride. Mate has a 600 Ninja. It's nice, but bikes scare me ever since another friend was killed on his Fireblade.  :cry:

I can understand the thrill of it all, but you can't fall off a car.

Ouch! At least you're OK. I'll never get a bike because I know I'd kill myself and almost did about 7 years ago on a friends  :lipsrsealed:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
