binned the r1!! ---- piccys added ------
well all i can say is i'm VERY lucky to be here!!
still very shaken after binning my R1 on sunday at 120mph (private road!!!)
went into a bend a bit hot (155mph again private road) and it tightened up more than i expected, drifted wide and hit the kurb.
ploughed through the under growth and hit 2 cevron markers which i ripped clean out the ground.
bike came down on me and we span several times before ending back on the private road facing the oppersite way with bike still on top of me.
surpringly tis only scratched plastics a broken gear lever and a snapped foot peg. frame is still straight!!!
but even more surprisingly is that all i substained was a cracked finger, chipped bone aswell in said finger, cuts to right thumb where glove split open on seam. heavy bruising to tendons and and bone in right arm.
various bruises to knees and shoulders.
never been so scrared in all my life.
missed an old oak tree by less than 3 feet.
there is a god and i have meet him!!!

whenever i get the urge to get myself a bike all i need to do is come on here and read some of the horror stories dont think i'll ever get a bike despite wanting one. too risky for me

on your tip toes you could probably only reach the ground from a 50cc bad boy anyway so doubt you'd do much damage with one of them

Chop,
i genuinely dont know where you keep getting this short thing from? you clearly either have me mixed up with someone else or you're just trying to goad me?
Now if i suffered shortman syndrome i would probably be chucking my toys out now and telling you eactly how tall i am. fortunately for me though, im not short and dont suffer it
as to how tall i actually am, lets just say tall enough to bring you down to my height

15K+ Super Poster!!
My mate got killed 3 years ago trying to ride an R1 round a bend at 90mph! Realised he didn't have the talent to get it round the bend a little too late and hit a telegraph poll which snapped his neck in half
You were very lucky and imo need to treat it as a warning for any future wreckless driving intentions as you may not get another!

Anyone who isnt as tall as me is classed as short IMO
Don't worry though i wont be testing your sense of humour again

Spiky and Benn would agree with anything negative or derogatory said about me cos they are a couple of nob'eds

I think it’s time to come clean. He’s four foot three, but due to immense efforts on his and the stretching machine’s behalf, we have managed to drag him up to four foot five. We would have tried for more, but Spiky didn’t want Dave to be too much taller than him, as it may have an affect on their wrestling.
