    Hi mate

    I did it almost 2wks into owning my RR7.... I grabbed the front brake too hard on a high street and slid down the road at a cost of 2.5k too! Of course everyone was there to watch me and the police even popped over with blue lights to make sure anyone who hadn't seen could come take a look.....

    It did get a lot better for me for a few months until it was nicked!! But I now have a RR9 which is even more beautiful for now..... :D

    So what I am really saying is.... welcome to the forum ;)

    Welcome to the forum Harry! Shame about your "off", it's a valuable lesson learnt albeit it an expensive one! It could have happened at a much higher speed!
    Got a trackday booked at Oulton on Wednesday with brand new Corsa Rossos fitted and temperatures close to freezing!!! :eek:

    Welcome . I hope you didn't swear too much. Just done the sum total of 20 miles on my new repsol , came with battlax s20's . Due to crap weather down here it's been sat in the garage for a few days. Gave me the excuse to take the rear pegs off though and fit a optimate charger. The guys will want to see photos. Post them sooner rather than:D

    Nice Harry. I'd scrub out your reg in the pictures though mate. It doesn't pay to advertise too much info about your P&J. Some say its a pointless exercise but an ounce of prevention...

    Just panel damage so easy repair if not a little expensive.
