Got a phone call from Richard aka richm. He came off his 6 month old Fireblade this morning.
He’s fine and the bike isn’t too badly damaged as his crash bungs saved the bike.
What we think happened was as he was going round a roundabout he leaned too far and the rear peg scraped the tarmac and lifted the rear tyre off the ground by about 1-2mm which made the rear end go and so did he.
Teach him to try and be a power ranger.
Ouch
sorry to hear this hope everythign gets sorted.
Glad Rich is ok.
Glad he’s ok. Met him once, he’s a really nice guy.
Shame, but glad he’s ok…
Damn, that’s some lean angle to get the pillion pegs down…
Crash bobbins save the day again! Pleased Rich is OK.
There was me burying my head in the sand trying not to think about it and John goes and posts it on the internet!!!
Damage isn’t to bad thanks to the bungs but still will mount up to a tidy little sum with the cost of Honda parts. I feel a spell on e-bay coming on!
I am absolutely fine just damaged pride, so all in all not too bad, as they said at the garage I was lucky and it could have been so much worse!
Thanks for the concern.
Rich
I feel your pain Rich…
However, my R1 wears its battle scars with pride until it undergoes a devious transformation
