Crash

[fazersharp]

Some might disagree, but I'd not have swerved, simply emergency braked and controlled the bike to stay upright.  I don't mean deliberately hit them, simply make a controlled stop with a blast on the horn.

Thats a tricky one without actually being there as there are times when an emergency stop is just not enough, many a creature has ran out infront of me at the last second and a swerve was the only thing that had saved me from having to clean up a right mess. And then I think after wards "how the Foc did I manage to swerve around that"

The engine will be fine.


A guy recently drained the oil out of an old merc on YouTube and it ran for about 17 minutes before failing.  It actually takes a little while for the surfaces to run dry, so a few seconds will not impact anything.


As said, replace the side casing and all good.  Looks like the silencer will slide straight back on.  You could fix that up for less than £100 I reckon.


As mentioned above though, did the ped's not hang around to make sure you were alright.  Technically they have just left the scene of an accident, especially as you were avoiding them.  If you had a helmet cam with footage you could take them to small claims court to cover the cost of your bike repairs.  For the price to repair you may not be bothered about that though, but a helmet/bike cam is worth the investment for things like this.


Some might disagree, but I'd not have swerved, simply emergency braked and controlled the bike to stay upright.  I don't mean deliberately hit them, simply make a controlled stop with a blast on the horn.  It's easy for someone to nip out of the way of a bike compared to a car so probably wouldn't amount to anything.

Cheers thanks for the advice mate. I know exactly what video you're on about as well from CarThrottle 


The exhaust could be put back on but I'm thinking to replace it now anyway with another brand


Sadly to answer the question i forgot earlier no the peds did not hang about, I don't remember much from the accident apart from what I've been told by another bypasser who said I came off, immediately crawled to the bike and turned it off (kill switch) bypasser had no idea what I was on about when I asked if it was kill switch   and then apparently just screamed in agony holding my right arm, apparently I did shout at the peds who ran across the road to help me but she said that 4 people she recalls ran off down another street (I'm not angry about this, just disappointment in human compassion).


Thank you for the tip about just braking next time, I will take that on bored and remember it in case it happens again, I only swerved as I remember being told to avoid sudden incidents like that when I did my A2 Testing in the summer last year.

Sadly I only have my word for it and my memory is a little all over the place from my head smacking off the road but from what I recall they did just run out of nowhere, it was so dark on the path and my light was green I didn't see them until they were less than 10 feet in front of me, and at 30mph I just did not have time to brake

Any crash you can walk away from is a 'good crash' grant 
It's good that you focus on the bike, by the time you get it fixed up you'll be ready to get back in the saddle.

I've got a standard 600 exhaust in good condition in the shed if you need it. I'll not be putting it back on as I do love the sound of my blueflame can.

PM if you're interested.

I know buddy and I should be more grateful about how lucky I was, just can't help thinking about the bike
I will get it fixed up and be back riding in no time I promise that .

Thanks for the offer Chris, honestly I really appreciate that, I'm gonna replace it with an SP one I've wanted for some time (no better time than now I suppose) but nice of you to offer mate .

So have I, so's Graham53. I think there are more standard exhausts sitting in sheds and garages, than there are on bikes 

[Chris]

No worries, Might well get an aftermarket one now as you say. 

Hahaha, mtread, you are probably right!

Chris

[ogri48]

Seconded, the engine will be fine mate, and sorry for your spill. Get it back on the road and come spring I'll Fill and paint it for free if you want, finished in 2k lacquer as long as I've got the basecolour you want in stock. Did it for another feller on here a few years back in a similar predicament, his bike was a helluva state, been attacked with a hammer.

Don't listen to any of them...... I have a stock exhaust sitting in my garage..... LOADS better than all those other stock exhausts that have been offered.......have mine!

Don't listen to Harry his is off a Red Boxeye, don't fit his as it will not help with your top speed, but, with saying that yours is a slow red one anyway.

If he had a fast silver one he would have been long gone before those pedestrians even got out of their house.

Haha can't argue with you there you've got me 

[Fazer99]

Glad you're OK and on the mend.

If you're looking at replacing your brake and Clutch leavers I have some original ones sat in my garage that you can have as well as the original bar end weights.

Don't listen to tommy as we all know that the red ones are the fastest. He wont admit it but his is a red one really but it's just still in the primer stage

  I checked with the ref he consulted the rule book and it's been allowed

I bet it's a bloody European ruling, when we pull out I'm going to lodge an apeal.

and when we pull out I'll agree with the appeal. However, the fact of the matter is that really you know I'm right

Ooooooowwww OK!

There is no such thing as a Silver FZS 600 only one in Primer.

No probs buddy, hope you manage to get the bike back up and running soon. When I came off my last bike I cracked 3 ribs and I managed to repair the bike before I was repaired as like you my focus was on the bike, funny thing is that the doctors told me that I wouldn't be able to ride again for at least 3 months, to which I went home and said FOC that and 6 weeks later after I repaired the bike I was out riding again, it hurt like hell leaning on the bends especially as it was a sports bike
