I'll be interested to see what its like in daylight too! I took a used one out for the demmo, and it pissed down! It was so overcast outside when i got back, when we pushed my one outside to see what the colour was really like, it was darker than inside. I'm sure it will be ok though(please!)

It looks better in the flesh! I was seriously doubting it myself untill i picked it up! It Pissed down on the way home so was even browner by the time i got home. You shouldnt have to wash something the day you buy it!

What did you do? Or did it fall off the stand?
Posted 2 years ago # -
It fell off the back of a mercedes A-class that decided to do an emergency stop for a bird that was in the road! S#it happens!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Oh no, FFS that's awful
Are you ok?
Bike doesn't look too bad.
Looks like the crash protector on right side worked.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Hey no problem picking the bike up. Hope your missus is feeling better today. You will be on house duties for a while whilst her arm heals!!
Posted 2 years ago # -
We came off pretty good really, she has a broken arm and i dislocated my little pinkie! The bikes mainly cosmetic, but you never really know with these sportsbikes. Its been taken to the dealership for assesment, so hopefully i'll know soon. Thats what insurance is for i suppose
Posted 2 years ago # -
bugger. Im gutted for you.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Looks like those crash bungs were a good investment.
Posted 2 years ago # -
I know how much you'll be gutted, but at least you and the missus are here to tell the tale.
Fingers crossed that it'll be good news from the dealership.

Nightmare! Hope you and the the bike (and your missus!!) are sorted and back riding by the time Summer proper kicks in!

DEE-DAA .. DEE-DAA......Dr Flapjack here!!
Chin in the old UP position. We can save the indicators but I'm sorry to say the colour can't be changed.
Hope MrsSaki's arm is bearing up, I know I'd be bolloxed without the use of my right arm for a couple of weeks, (I just don't seem to have the co-ordination required for the left)
Hats off for putting yourself forward for public ridicule - from flash to trash in 24 hours! Posted 2 years ago # -

I don't think it would be that bad if it lasted a couple of days. This happened just over 24 hours after pick up!
If you didn't like the colour, you could have bought a blue one instead of throwing it down the road!
In defence of the colour though. When the sun hits is (not an A class), it does show off a nice reddish sparkly hue.Posted 2 years ago # -
I think the only reddish hue is coming from Mickasaki's face!
If you want my professional medical opinion it looks like a classic case of running into a corner too fast and running out of talent!
Posted 2 years ago # -
Flapjack - if anyone knows about lack of talent - your the man!
At least its only my wallet with the serious longterm injury Singletrack collection time anybody?
I will just have to get the hemlock out more now, trouble is i'm having trouble stayin on that too - mainly due to lack of talent of my riding buddies - you know who you are!Posted 2 years ago # -
Ahem! I wasn't the one falling off any bikes, I was in front and stayed out of the puddle!
Posted 2 years ago # -
arse, If its any consolation I crashed 19.6 miles after passing my test and buying a bike, although it was a car going into the back of me that caused it. Hope your ok and the mrs isnt able to hit you too hard with her good arm!!
Posted 2 years ago # -
That's awful to have crashed so soon. The crash bungs did appear to work though.
On reflection, were you possibly slightly too close to the car that did the 'emergency stop' in front of you?
Just wondering, as I'm always looking for ways to improve my riding/safety and I'm quite wary of people stopping in front of me, having once had a car brake in front of me and me locking my front wheel.

Curly, what makes you think i was talking about you
Geronimo, i suppose i must have been really! although i crtainly wasn't aware of it at the time, and was only riding at a leisurly pace for a change! I wonder if part of the problem is looking ahead of the car infront to pre-empt problems. The road was clear as far as i could see. Not sure if the driver let off the throttle initialy to slow down and then braked or something, so the gap was already closing before i was alerted. I just dont know really. At the end of the day, i should have been able to stop in time, but couldn't, so no excuses as i hit him, not the other way around! I'm man enough to admit that! But being made to fall off ones mountain bike due to certain people traveling to slowly (wont mention Curly or Flapjacks name here!) is just rude

I went with ABS on my latest bike so I could just haul on the levers in these sorts of situations, especially when it's wet. If it does happen (and touch wood it hasn't yet) I wonder if I'll forget I'm on the ABS bike though (my others don't have ABS) and brake as normal.
Posted 2 years ago # -
New technology - it'll never catch on
I dont know if it will always help anyway, in my case i didn't even manage to lock up. Whether your mind would allow you just to heave on the brake fully straight away without thinking is questionable i'd have thought. Theres only one way to find out! Probably better just to leave even more gap and expect the freaky actions of otheres to happen! If your going for a VFR though i'd have it.
