    Ah, the ride of shame lol I've been there.

    Put a GSX 550 in a ditch many years ago. A local farmer pulled it out with his tractor. The worst bit was riding home through a busy Saturday morning high street with mud and damage all up one side of the bike and me and everyone staring at me.

    Really sorry to hear that, but glad you’re ok which is the most important thing.

    Now, put your listening ears on you lot.

    In those immortal words from Lock Stock – Will everyone stop getting shot.

    Well I have a new one – Will everyone stop falling off.

    Shit do mate. But at least you are ok. I assume ya fully comp too, which MAY help ease the pain.
    Maybe we ought to rename the forum.....gixerclub, or summat, and we all get the appropriate bikes since these blades seem to keep falling over?

    Oh no, really feeling for you mate. you have just been added to the longest list for crashes in 1 month.

    Remember you posting all those pics where a few other lads had crashed when you were with them. this has not done any good in removing that jynx tag from around your neck

    dave you must mad going out with jimbo:)
    Hope all goes well getting the bike back on the road

    Fez....Too right - karma! It's been a long time coming, can't dodge it forever ha ha

    Benn... Maybe, if it's too much to fix, have to see what the part list is like.

    Glad your OK Jimbo, I know how it feels, still feeling gutted , seems so much longer than only five days ago. Everytime I look at the bike I wince.

    Hopefully you will have it all sorted out soon, it often looks worse than it is, it's all repairable, much more repairable than we are :)

    Blimey, just read this, gutted for you Jimbo, but glad you aren't badly injured. Hope the bike isn't too bad and you get back on the road quickly.
