Evenin all.... I thought i was very lucky and the bike crashed well. I was doin bout 55/60 on norf circ just after a 50 cam but x-eleratin gently past a car doin 50 ish and a car about 15/20 meters behind. I could see trafick in front but it wasn't in our vicinity and was aware of only the one car behind me. All good. Then the car pulled out without any signal so i jammed the anchors but couldn't avoid him and he clipped the bike. 1 slice of Tarmac cake please. So i rolled a few times and my legs kinda stopped that and I remembered the car behind and started to go fetal thinkin i was gonna get hit ( never been more frightened in my life) then i heard a skid and the driver avoided me. Foccin lucky. Quick check and nuffin broken so I'm up and on the central barrier like a foccin rampant cricket and looked back and all was clear. Norf circ @ 6:20???? Foccin miracle. The chap in the merc who was behind me waaaand down iz window and said ...r u ok? Yes I'm ok. I'm gonna park my car by your bike wait there ok? No foccin R-gument from me. I sit on the barrier and he comes back and asks if i ok and can I walk etc and i answered yes. I asked him if he got the reg and he said ... Sorry no i was to busy tryin to avoid u. Again no foccin argument from me...so he said come on let's go sort the bike. Then the traffic came bibbin like a bunch of people who couldn't give a foc , which they didnt and stoppin us get to the middle lane where the bike ended up. My new best mate wasn't impressed and started say some unsavoury words lol but we got there in the end and got it up. I switched ignition off and started to walk up to where i went down and picked a set of house and bike lock keys that I knew I had lost and they survived the traffic nippin past ...i had a look for a traffic camera....none but it was dark.....then quickly remembered what a foccin drama it is to get any footage off the bastids ....and went back to the bike ,switched on the ignition and it fired up like the pure thoroughbred that blue bikes are ;-) so i shake the drivers hand and contemplate remembering him in my will and focced of to find somwhere to park up and look at the damage. Mmmmmmm.... I thought it would be much worse and while I was smokin the best ciggy i'd had in foccin ages lol i was already feelin better. it looks a bit shitty but it drives like normal apart from the mega clunky gear change And it wont go into neutral. It either clunks up or down into 1st or 2nd. Not sure if the clutch plates took a hit as that seems to be where the bike acted as a free yamaha crash bung ( Yama steelers my arse lol) so mainly cosmetic. Thank foc. Plastic weld? Spray job. New crutch/rotor cover. Sort the gear change and levers bar ends and new belly pan or repair?
Just flapping about on this stagnant little pond on the outer rim of the internet.....yup.... :-))
