have a look at it what ashame.

[MrStompy]

why hasnt it got an ignition barrel?

makes me suspect it was bought from an auction and he bit off more than he can chew as far as getting it back on the road.

edit > "4 days" ago it had a full fairing.
now he crashed it it has nothing at all... hmmmm.
not even a pillion seat. cause all that stuff disintegrated upon impact i guess.

end edit<

I've been watching the auctions for a while and I don't recall seeing that one.

sounds like i might of been wrong....

still dont understand why it doesnt have an ignition barrel anymore though...

either way it sucks for whoever crashed it...

that would break your heart. binning your nice bike with no insurance.

It probably hurt too.

Mr Stompy said "It probably hurt too"

Do you think ??

Being in the middle of requilding this sort of thing, its the little stuff you find that amazes you. The forces released when these things go end for end have to go SOMEWHERE....
That bracket looks great but prob has 500 micro fine stress fractures in it just waiting for you to load it up into Turn 1 before it snaps...

Ouch

That sucks big time ***picking up the phone to ring an insurance co.***

guess he ran out of talent.....

[ooh yeah]

yeah, that is my bike, im ok no injuries........hehehe. really tho im lucky in that respect it could of been nasty had i of taken the same path as the bike. not sure that i run out of talent as much as i ran out of luck, my aggresive riding nature come back to bite me.
oh well looks like im breaking the 929 back out of the shed lol. ALSO ON ANOTHER NOTE-- i have 3 grand worth of extras on their way from the usa for my beloved ten i may be posting these items up for sale. keep an eye out. cheers.........

[ooh yeah]

im not sure why its hard to belive the ignition barrell is gone, i prised the smashed barrell from out of the surrounding fixture to have it fall into fragments on the ground. the bike went through hell, as i was sliding up the road on my back in my $900 dainase jacket i witnessed my bike get airbourne about 6 foot high from sliding over an island .......... i followed it over the same island and then the bike come crashing down in front of me in time to hit the gutter and then continued its aerobatic display by smashing through a set of brick letterboxes out the front of some units. i had not even stopped my slide before i was on my feet with one shoe hanging off, new jeans with holes all over one side , grazed jacket and holes in my new "very expensive " joe rocket gloves, i was at the bike picking it up instantly to do a runner when i realised i might have trouble riding the ol girl, anyways by this time it seemed i had 100 people surrounding me in a circle in complete shock. ( i think they thought i would of been dead) apart from the bike being mangled and my clothing looked like edward scissorhands got to it i was pretty calm, the cops were there pretty much straight away aswell, there were kids picking up green bits and pieces every where, one had my exhaust , one had the front windsreen and part of the front cowl with the dash still bolted in it, a couple others had bits of plastic and other shit. ive only had this bike 2 months, i didnt realise it would be this bad to lose a loved one!!!!!!! anyway RIP green beast. i loved you!!! now you are gone. bitch lol

Unfortunately shit happens once in a while. I know roughly how you feel having done similar to my ZXR750 a few years back. Not as good a job as you did to your 10 though!

At least you sound to be OK.

All the best
