£600 indian takeaway

Went to pick up tonight meal on the bike and dropped it. I would like to give massive praise to the following:

Shoei ~ helmet
Weise ~ jacket
Hien Gereicke ~ boots
Swift ~ trousers

All the above helped me walk away with only a bruised knee and pride!

Not happy with myself locked the front and down it went! going to assess the damage in the cold light of day tomorrow but the front end aint good I rode it home and either the forks are knackered or the handle bars as they are not true and straight anymore!

So the sleeper is now offically in the smiles club my first proper off in 5-6 years riding!

I’m happy I’m here writing this though and the gear without a shadow of a doubt helped me walk away in 1 piece but angry with myself for such a school boy error.

Any grapes most welcome

Sorry to hear :frowning:

Hopefully just the bars, think you’d have really known about it if the forks were bent?

Hope you get it sorted.

I praying mate… although done a quick ebay search looking about £90 for replacement forks so will not be the end of the world I guess. just sooo pee’d off with myself

The absolute gutter is that it goes in for it’s mot tomorrow so that will now be cancelled.

Sorry to hear that Carl. x

5

Sorry to hear that mate, but glad you are OK.

6

Glad you are OK, hope your bike is a speedy and cheap fix.

As for wanting grapes, I doubt you would like mine. :Whistling:

7

Terrible news - was it still edible? :smiley:

8

I knew someone would comment on that… yes the food was fine it was on the way ther not the way back… otherwise the missus would have done more damage to me than the bike!

9

How was the take away ?

10

Think that’s been covered lol

11

damn it lol

12

Mate, I’m really sorry to hear this but damn lucky you’re ok…Could have been much worse.

Most likely just the bars bent dude as forks are pretty rigid and hold up (unless the bikes front end hits something).

Let me know if you need any help sorting the bike.

Take it easy.

PS. Oh and maybe get yourself checked out at the hospital as a precaution.

13

Would have been cheaper to go to India to get dinner :slight_smile:
glad to hear your ok :slight_smile:

14

oh no that sucks mate atleast your ok have you got a tool kit at yours as you might just of knocked the bar out of place

15

well they do say that takeaway’s are bad for you :smiley:

Glad you’re ok though

16

Dude that is shitty. A real shame about the bike, but you not only walked away, you rode away. Your ok that is the main thing.

17

sorry about this what caused you to lock up did some one pull out on you?

18

Sorry for your spill…but I now have an image of you riding home with a curry dangling from your wrist, you bin the bike, slide along with the gear doing it’s job :slight_smile: and somehow you manage to heep the curry in the air and upright…top job mate!

Glad the only thing hurt is your bank balance and not any bones:)

+1 Hope you are not to bruised and the repair bill isn’t too painful.

Might not be so bad as you think. The forks are most likely twisted in the yokes and will straighten up ok. Not wishing to tell you how to suck eggs, but happy to advise.
