What did you do to your bike today?

Had to sit at the side of the road for 2 hours waiting to bring this back home :(

Someone attempted to turn round in the road whilst in stationary traffic without checking what was coming behind her.....
 
As long as you haven't broken yourself to much!

Everyone seems to be at it lately, I came off a couple weeks ago and snapped my collarbone, friend had a car pull out on him today and another friend of mine came off on his first every ride after passing his CBT!
 
This is my second off in 6 weeks. I think I have had quite enough this!

Nearly saw 3 other accidents exactly the same while waiting for recovery. Some real derpy drivers out there today.
 
@JessJess Gutted for ya mate. :(

Using my bike all the time so I thought it was time for some pleasure riding so I took it up to the Whistlestop Bike meet tuther end of the A444. Being tuther end of the Triple 4 pretty much sets it in stone that I'm going. :p

Only the 3rd meet so still growing but I met a couple of right nice blokes up there & plenty of **** was chatted about bikes. :cool:

I think green is an unlucky colour for you:(

I think the sun melts car drivers brains
 
dude first thing you do before taking the roadside picks is rip all the tape off and claim the bike was perfect :p

Heh!! If only the bits covered by tape were not from a high speed slide! This was only a 10/15 mph bump, annoyed as hell it cracked the engine casing so I couldnt ride it home!
 
Rode it around brands hatch again last night :)

So lucky with the weather, poured it down all afternoon and driving there I was tempted to just go home, but it stopped about 4 and by 5:30 it was bone dry again :D
Definitely getting better with the bike and feeling my way on track again, rear tyre is knackered though and the last few sessions I could not push it at all so new tyres time!

I think total time was about an hour and a half, but its more full on than the day ones as theres only two groups so literally 20 mins on / 20 off, and last session usually a bit longer.

I'd be slightly surprised if that wasn't written off, even without any structural damage. Any marks on the frame, forks or swingarm? Has the bent frame slider done any damage?
 
I'm expecting a write off. Top of the fork adjuster os ground away a bit, yoke and ignition barrel are ruined, forks seem bent, headlight bracket and mounts are sheared. Plus add in all the panel damage etc.

Shame if it does as all the Ohlins suspension kit on it makes it a dream to ride!
