I've got to agree with drobess there RK mate. I can swing a spanner so give me a shout if you need a hand.
I felt totally miffed today, missing my buddy RK on the run through to Thirsk and (after making the decision to go on my own 'cos I haven't been on the bike in ages) leaving Cassie at home only to find Geoff, Roachy and XK had all made the trip through. Wish I'd taken her now .
We live and learn.
re rk'S "I'm too old and fat to lie in the middle of the road, good job I had my helmet on to hide my battered ego!"
I remember going down the street on my back the bike four or five foot in front of me screaching like a banshee, I was only 18 at the time and just my luck every man and his dog was watching....it isn't a nice feeling...especially on my little Honda 125 superdream lol......but mate your in one peice thats what counts,
I'll keep my eyes and ears open, let me know the bike specs i will ask about down here see whats laying around peoples garages.
Hope you get everything sorted soon terry, everyones right, as long as you can walk away and live to tell the tale,,,bikes can mend or be replaced!!!!!....eventually......craig
ha I remember dropping my zx6 bloody sidestand wasn't down properly I couldn't hold it up so I thought I an't scratching the paint so through my leg under the fairing hurt like hell but saved the bike result...
Was embarrassing lying there waiting for someone to come along and lift it off...(what an arse lol)

Thanks for the offer Mark, I got the fairing off and managed to straighten the bars and brackets so mainly fairing cracks, tank dent/scrape and my shiny new tailpipes all scratched
It'll be rideable by next weekend craig, ordered the plastic welding gear this aft (cheaper than a new fairing that's for sure!)
Must admit I never really got the just of crash bungs but not a mark on the engine or my new belly pan so not all bad news
johnny I put wheel/tyre dressing on the night before and forgot about it so only myself to blame, what a plank!
