Was tempting! Exup took him home on the back of his, won't be home yet I think.

Yep,sorry Adam, we peeled off through Chipping Norton & Burford, realised when I saw the signs that it was a lot more direct, and we were gasping for a cuppa and a sit down, talk through the days events. Hope we didn't worry you? If so, please accept my apologies. Everyone ok.

Christo's Fazer fell over and died.

Dead Eye · « **Reply #110 on:** 01 September 2013, 08:22:49 pm »

Holy crap... that's some pretty serious frontend damage, must have been one hell of an impact... what happened?!

Poor Christo, just as he'd got it running again...

As you can see from Kosmic's pics, Christo had an argument with a Merc and a Mitsibishi!
He's ok, he's like Marquez, just bounces!!

ChristoT · « **Reply #112 on:** 01 September 2013, 08:36:44 pm »

Unlike Marquez, I need to contact insurers tomorrow!

Can all those who took pics please PM them to me tonight?

Thanks to all who helped me - especially Chris.biker, who has missed his vocation as traffic control officer!

From what I gather, the merc in front of me, which had been moving fastish emergency braked (reasons I won't discuss) - I ran out of road, hit his lights, and the bike went down under a Mitsubishi. Which will probably be written off too. The Mitsu did most of the dammage - took a lot too...

red98 · « **Reply #115 on:** 01 September 2013, 08:51:30 pm »

glad your home ok CHRISTO......a quiet time to reflect on the days events

.....also a big thanks to SKIPPERNICK another "traffic control officer"

May I point out that it was not me who took control of the traffic, I think it was skippernick, and yes he did a great job.

Also the lady from the house at the site was wonderful.

Dead Eye · « **Reply #117 on:** 01 September 2013, 09:04:47 pm »

Foc me, at least you're alright physically Christo - sounds as though its a similar incident to poor HarryHornby as well

There's only one thing to do now... get drunk, eat dirty dirty pizza and collapse until tomorrow

ChristoT · « **Reply #118 on:** 01 September 2013, 09:09:13 pm »

Indeed it was Skippernick - apologies, head still spinning. I blame the "painkillers" Kosmic gave me!

Tonight's plan, get home and sleep

Hedgetrimmer · « **Reply #119 on:** 01 September 2013, 09:20:13 pm »

Yes, glad you're home ok, an eventful day! PM'd you. Sit down and take it easy, leave the thinking for when you're fresher tomorrow, try to anyway.

Glad the pain killers worked and I didn't have to break out my under the sadle first aid kit that I always travel with....

and Christo I also did a bit of accident traffic management with skippernick, with him at one end of the crash site and me at the other end

ChristoT · « **Reply #121 on:** 01 September 2013, 09:27:24 pm »

Thanks to you as well. I really appreciate all the support I got from the LoFos at the scene.

There was no worries bud I waited a while and kind of gathered that was the better route for you guys and carried on home.

Besides the obvious I had a good day, not forgetting I get to wake up and ride a tiger, lols!

Oh dear, sorry to see that Christo !

Tell me why have you stopped for lunch at a funeral directors?

Skippernick · « **Reply #124 on:** 02 September 2013, 10:09:12 am »

Should of said this earlier, but thank you to Punkstig for leading a good route/day.
Yes it was me pretending to be a copper, thanks to Kosmic for helping out my arms were starting to ache by then.
And if anyone see's that fat twat in the landy tell him i want words!!
