axl Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Yep!, I had a spill, and no one to blame but me :oops:, quite simply to much front brake on cold tyre's!. Fekin shit my self more than anything else, typical front end slide, the thing is I was only doing bout' 3 mph :oops: turnin' a sharp corner. But if the car that was coming round had been about 4 ft further towards me I would have slid into him :shock: , thank fek I didn't!. Iv'e snapped the end off the gear lever y'know the piece that your foot goes under to lift with the rubber on it. And bent (very slightly) the clutch lever. Nothing major at all, I suppose I was very lucky, cause the way it landed I thought oh now the tank, the frame ect ect, bu nope everything was fine . And I had my leather's (trouser's) on for the first time in ages, so maybe thats "someone" trying to tell me something!. So I guess that'll teach to go out on a yzf750 with R1 callipers and cold 207's :oops: :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axl Posted June 25, 2004 Author Share Posted June 25, 2004 Yea cheers guy's, me & the bike are fine, well just the gear lever really the rubber bit you lift with your foot. But I was down at a mates house last night, and drilled through the "shaft" and put a 10ml bolt through, that'll do in the mean time. But I'll get another one for it. Yea that'll teach me to wear my leathers, cause I had a gouge on the left knee pad, Iv'e had these for about 4 years and wore them I think twice, I'll be wearing all the time I'm out now, y'know it's fynny how it's not till something happens, then you'll do something about, oh well!.
