Morning from hell for me! I found out the hard way that bikes have real trouble staying upright on the country bends when its icy/frosty! despite traveling nice and smooth and slower than a pregnant snail, the back end just slid away. Luckily oncoming car stopped and Ive only taken a beating to my right knee, but the ol repsol is well scrapped up! lucky I suppose as its only engine cover and right hand panel fucked and a exhaust cover donated at back. But gonna be a while (specially with chrimbo) before she looks pretty again. be careful out there if you are riding still.
Oh no ! if thats all the damage you seem to of got off ok ish . Make sure your knee is ok i thought i was ok went out for another 3 sessions drove home from rockingham 12 breaks 2 cast later Doh !
Glad your relatively Ok mate, the bike will fix thankfully. Last time I slipped on ice I was actually pushing a bike and ended up underneath and couldn't get up until someone walked past and helped me. Felt a right di*k.
Hope your ok mate, seriously get your knee check out as as when I had my accident they were more worried about my knee and shoulder they missed a break in my fibula, only found out a week later when went back and they X-Ray my knee again but slightly lower down, which I had been walking round on all week
Sorry to hear that Zip, hope your knee heals mate and not too much damage to the bike, that's why mine's staying wrapped up til spring.
Wish you well Zipster....surprisingly slippy the last couple of mornings and I'm on 2 feet let alone 2 wheels. Hope the bike is back and gleaming before too long but least you're relatively OK
Sorry to hear it dude. I would say that if you're going to ride through winter then get a hack, but it's a bit late now. Hope you're ok
Sorry to hear that mate. Hope it doesnt put too much of a damper on your xmas. Any bother with your knee get it checked out.
sorry to hear this matey, I sympathise, same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. Looks like you got off fairly lightly, although I know how painful it is to see your bike scraped up. Hope you sort it quickly.
Bad news Zippy,seen your commute on your VLOG mate quite a distance! hope you and the bike are fixed up soon.
Bummer, thats y i dont like grrring out esp early this time of yr You'll have to do a vid blog on your repairs
Sorry to hear of your misfortune m8 hope the knee is OK, looking at the pic its not too big a job to sort.
