You gotta start somewhere eh Stace

If you want someone to get rid of them for you just let me know next time we're on a ride, I'll have em gone for you in no time, especially if we're near my favourite corners....I believe Gos also has been known to get rid of people chicken strips for them as well

Ah Mick - thanks for the offer, but i Intend on getting rid of them myself this weekend! I was really disappointed in the lack of lean on the WFR and have been tripping around town, and boy do I love Round-a-bouts now! Do you mind if i post up the photos you took from the WFR?

He is even pretty good at scraping that pesky chrome of a new set of exhausts

BEAST !

Ah Update time! So between my last post and now i've had her out on a Track Day at Marulan Driver Training Centre and Ive Binned her

First - The Track Day - What a wicked day that was!! Organised by mark from CanberraRiders.org.au, I was a last minute fill in for a bloke who couldn’t attend. Best decision I’ve ever made.
Nervous as all hell for the first session, I quickly fell into the rhythm of the short, sharp Marulan Track. Buzzing around trying to chase down Macca on the Pink 9, I soon realised I was a fool for not doing this sooner. 50.5 Was my best time of the day - Not bad for a newbie!
A few peg scrapes and the knee down once or twice, it was time for the PocketBike CharityChallenge. Dont Ask cause i wont tell it was fail all over for my stupid TeamSupaStace RedBull SugarFree TNYBKE - But it was the only one with a taillight and a number plate. MickLC brought a gun to a sword fight with GiantBike, serves you right, Kip messing with your bike!
MickLC's Entry - Bigger Than ALL the competition!
Failing StaceyStyle!! - Died halfway round cause it was a Yamaha - I told you we should have painted it GREEN! - but I carried it across the line and FINISHED, much to MickLC's Disgust.


Crash Report - TL;DR version: After a spirited LongWayHomeRide through the Cotter and Mt Mac, I lost two riders behind me. After slowing right down and not having them appear behind me i knew i had lost at least one, and better hurry my ass up to let the boys know. In my haste, I stopped concerntrating on where i was going and what I was doing and off into the gravel we went
As you can see by the slide mark in the bottom left hand corner, as the front washed out i lept off the bike, but not far enough to get out from underneath it My Right ankle is re-broken and is a lovely shade of purple,... AGAIN!! Buzz Slid down the road and left a lovely Kawa Green Skid mark for about 3 or 4 feet. I landed on my hands and heavily on my left knee and chest – thank god for Draggins or I’d probably be in need of a new knee cap. It was only at 20-25km but it was fast enough for me to not even realise wtf was going on before I had slid halfway across the road on my face.

Damage to Buzz: I snapped the LH Peg and Rear Brake Lever Mount clean in half, Ripped the left indicator off, grazed up the bar and lever ends and gave the LHMirror a bit of roughage. LH Fairings took most of the damage, LH Side fairing got ripped out of the connecting mount to the front piece, Front rim is chipped, Headlight surround is grazed pretty bad, Exhaust Can is Dented and scratched pretty bad (pity, i REEEEEEEEEEAAAAAALLY (not) liked the stock can). Bent the LF Handlebar clip on and threw the steering outta whack and Front wheel guard-fairing-thingy is chipped too.

Steering straightened by the CMC Guys for nothing, LH Peg and Rear Brake Lever Mount - REPLACED, LH Indicator rewired and fitted, New TwoBros Shorty Can ordered, Front wheel goes in soon to be fixed/Replaced if needed and powdercoated a Metallic GlitterBlack (rear to match). New RHSide Clip on ordered, Shorty Levers and new bar ends on their way. The Fairings won’t be replaced for some while – Street Cred BABY – As they’re incredibly expensive and after my initial drop on the RHSide some months ago, I have to buy a total full set.!!!

Damage to Me: ReBroken right Ankle after the rear end of buzz landed on it, Knee was bruised and sore, Velcro tab on gloves got a bit melted after I decided to slide on my hands across the road. Bruised Sternum after I bounced flat on my Chest, Wrists a bit tender, but fine. To be honest, I’d be so much worse off if I didn’t have all my gear on. My Boots saved my ankle from being crushed further – Doc says seeing how accident prone I am I should wear them 24/7, jacket did what it was supposed to do, Not a scratch or mark on me or the Jacket, and the Draggins held up perfectly.

Bummer.

It's good you are OK

Thank fuck for good riding gear and bendy indicators

not good news miz hope you can fix er up soon

Sorry to hear of your little mischief but it's good to hear it can be fixed and you're not too badly hurt.
