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.

Re: Lofo ride Sun 1st Sept - Dead Eye - 01-09-13
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!!
Re: Lofo ride Sun 1st Sept - ChristoT - 01-09-13
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...
Re: Lofo ride Sun 1st Sept - red98 - 01-09-13
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.
Re: Lofo ride Sun 1st Sept - Dead Eye - 01-09-13
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
Re: Lofo ride Sun 1st Sept - ChristoT - 01-09-13
Indeed it was Skippernick - apologies, head still spinning. I blame the "painkillers" Kosmic gave me!
Tonight's plan, get home and sleep
Re: Lofo ride Sun 1st Sept - nick crisp - 01-09-13
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.
