had my 1st off, gutted
« on: July 20, 2010, 10:22:22 PM »

went for a blast up keilder on sunday, 7 of us in total. me and me pal on a 10 plate zx6r at the front (where ninjas should be  :headbang:)

got to keilder no bother, stated rainin and it looked dark where 1 of me pals wanted to go.
so instead of goin back the way we came (were it was dry) we went into the rain  :-(

got to a little village and we couldnt get through due to an accident, so a copper got sent the long way round on a single track road, on this road a car was comin towards us so edgin over to the side of the road my front wheel caught the grass. wash out!

hit the deck, gutted. luckily a was doin about 20-30mph, crash bung took the brunt of it, little scuff on 1 of the panels.
panels gonna get repainted off me pal and ive also bent a clip on.

bikes halfway into gettin stripped, will keep ya posted on how it goes, forks may have damage!  :-(

SORRY IF IVE BORED YA

to rub a bit more salt into the wound a bought new leathers b4 a went to the TT, and bought a new lid wen a got back.

very slight scuff on leathers, scraped the titanium shoulder plate  :cry:

but on the plus side, i didnt knock me new foggy lid!  :headbang:
