Close one!

Got a loan bike off my local garage whilst my Blade had some work down. It was a duffed up 'ABS' faired bandit (over 70K on the clock).
On the way to pick the Blade doing about 70+ in the torrential rain on the M4 some twat pulls out in front of me, lock up and lose the fronts, kick my boots out and miracally the bandit stays upright!!. Got a big chunk missing out off my boots to prove it!

Tell the garage about the ABS not working only to receive the response 'nah' that bike doesn't have ABS!!.

Rode back in the same shit with my ABS Blade, got cut up again and it just dealt with it. I understand the C-abs has its problems but when working its just awesome

 

So has the underwear been passed as salvageable ??

 

I actually appreciate it sometimes as it reminds me that I actually own something that oozes engineering excellence.

Previously I had to compromise on cost but with this one I have made the right choice hail the Blade, even louder bigup to the C-ABS!

 

of course I only wear black, let them dry, tap the debris off with mallet and turn em round!

 

more if not soiled

 

I usually take it as a cue thats its laundry time when the dogs start to try to bury them in the garden !!!

 

Thankfully you are still in one piece, be safe.
