mountain goat Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Hands up it was all me own fault, looking backwards trying to find a road. Hardly moving, looked forward oops where did that crash barrier come from. No other vehicles about Stops, just, bit of a camber on the road. Rolls into the barrier thick ali two panel type. Bike touches barrier, bike tips over. Ok pick bike up enough to roll away from barrier, yeh right. I wish, lift bike ha ha , bike to low just to pull out without disemboweling it. Two cars go by. Try to lift again, I am no wimp May be I should take my helmet off and show off my long flowing locks... Bugger that. Next car stops. TDAH (Tall dark and Handsome) steps out... He must have been a biker. It took the two of us to shift the begger... Now how can i fit a hydraulic ram. Better still look were I am going I guess.

Moderator YamaHead Posted March 2, 2005 Moderator Share Posted March 2, 2005 Maybe you should fit a Radar for those barriers that seem to jump right out in front of you? Picking up the bike is good practice......because you just never know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me but a 6am the other morning I was out the front of my house picking Tigger of the floor cos Cliffy couldn't do it And I don't do the flower arranging anymore, I'm a motorcycle helmet and clothing specialist. It is my job to make the tea though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 When me Exup got blown over a few weeks ago I couldn't lift it on me own. I had to get the missus out of bed to give me a hand. That's the first time I've ever told her to get her kit on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted March 10, 2005 Moderator Share Posted March 10, 2005 Not too much damage though and besides it's only a Triumph so who cares anyway Sounds like Triumph has a reputation in it's homeland, much like Hardley's do here.
