Phark ....

I sit here tonight half-cut on medicinal rum and nursing a broken elbow after a minor brush with the Gore Hill freeway this morning :(

My bike is pretty bad. From memory the damage is:
- Right clip-on badly bent
- Front mud guard cracked
- Exhaust pushed back in to swingarm
- Broken brake lever
- Scratched and cracked rear ducktail
- Scratched / gouged mirror
- Snapped foot peg
- Minor scratches to fairing and front indicator

The bike is currenty locked up in my office but I will try to get photo's sgortly. With 5 weeks to go on my P's and at least 6 weeks off the bike, I may never again throw my leg over the trusty ZZR .... ZX? here we come :shock:

Ahh bugger.... let's not start this again folks!

Mate, broken ankles are a bitch. I still have two screws in mine from several years ago. Remember, if it gets itchy, find an air compressor and blow cold air into it.

Geez. Damn.

It's interesting that Team Crashed '05 is now abbreviated to T/C '05 in the thread title, and everyone knows straight away what it means....... happy8.gif

LOL .... it was more to do typing half-pissed, doped up and using my left hand - every charachter is a new challenge :oops:

Thanks everyone else for your sympathy, but it's the bike you should feel sorry for - it wasn't to blame !

Speady recovery Dave, sorry to hear. Corrie has a really nice 6 for sale. (maybe)
Yes, T/C is the new black and i think everyone knew what it meant.
But i agree with Jas, lets not have a year like last.
