Well got knocked off today  :'( finaly managed to get a job and on the 3rd day on way home a lorry stopped on the other side of the road, the car behind him didnt stop so hit the rear of the truck. glanced off and hit the side of the car infront of me then ploughed in to the front of my bike throwing me off it. I had stopped and feet down as it hit me and it had lost a lot of its speed from the first 2 impacts but still enough force to throw me over the front of the bike lol.

Bike seems "mostly" cosmetic, the std stuff. fairing, mudguard, crash bungs, belly pan etc.
forks dont look bent but the handle bars do look slightly out of line, but this could just be a bent fairing frame or twisted in the yolkes. oh and front tyre has a chunk missing from it.
helmet has a small scratch and boots/gloves are screwed.

But the bike gear did its job well i just have a few bumps and lumps. will be sore tomorow lol
really hope they dont write it off but kinda know they will it has so many extras on it (pretty much all declaired on insurance)
the one thing that MAY be a problem though is my insurance is social domestic and pleasure (it excludes going to work) but i started a new job 3 days ago. it was on my "to do" list to inform them but was not a high priority.
kinda hope that wont be an issue.

piss's me right off as this weekend i was ment to be at Castle Combe track day

Folks,

need a wee bit of help, I pick my FZ1s up on saturday (I don't think its got the tool kit with it as there s PCIII in there ?, and I want to be able to adjust the gear/brake levers once I've put a couple of miles on her, so what sizes do I need to adjust these levers ??

Cheers

I entered a competition on the Silverstone website a few weeks ago and today received an email to say have won two race day hospitality tickets for WBSK on 5th August.

Hi all,
Just bought a 2003 Foxeye 600 after being a sworn single rider - last  bike a SR400 :-)  Goodness it's different!!  Great forum - I'm enjoying the crack and the info is good as well.  Getting to work is fun now - 35 mile commute, half on dual carriageway, half on Northumberland's finest roads.

Walking through rear reception this morning and some stupid bint opens the door into my crash helmet, her excuse  "sorry, I didn't see you", I replied "what, through a transparent glass door?"

This is the 2nd time in 6 months and I'm not letting this one slide, where does the law stand on such matters? as I fully expect the company (like the last one) to deny any responsibility on the matter.

1. as it happened on company property are the company liable? if so what legal speak can I quote them to capitulate?
2. or will I have to take the woman to opened the door unto my crash helmet to small claims court..?

Hi everyone,
                        I'm not sure if this is the best place for this post but i'm currently working in South Oxfordshire in the Wallingford/Didcot/Abingdon area and i'm struggling to find any good roads that aren't either always traffic heavy or dotted with lots of 40/50mph zones every other mile or narrrow little roads with loose surfaces and high hedgerows meaning i don't dare push hard.
just wandering if anybody could point me in the right direction
thanks a lot, look forward to trying your suggestions

Please contact me
