My 10's a mess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Team Crashed 07???

Post by Burky »

Well this moring worked out that greasy road making a left hand turn, not Fresh :evil: :evil: :evil:
Ended up with a sore knee but the bike is a bit of a mess, basicly the whole left side is scratched, dented or smashed. Speed at the time would have been 5-10km/hr (slowed right down to let a padestrian go, who is the witness i have). front wheel slipped out from underneath, slid straight across the road and smashed into the traffic island. The cover on the side cracked open, looks like the engine case is damaged also. To top it off Adel stopped in to say hi, advised him of the news and checking out the mess fount the tank has moved and the mounting at the back isn't attached. Tank has a gap big enough to side your hand in, on the right hand side and hit the frame on the left.

Anyway spoke to the insurance co and need to find a repairer, any ideas :?:

Sorry to hear this Burky..

I'm sure it will all get sorted and will be as good as new soon..

(perhaps not soon, mine took about 8 or 9 weeks to fix..)

Thanks Guy's, the thing that pissed me more than anything was the fact that 3 cars drove past when the bike was down (including the cab that ran over the mirror), and not one stopped :evil:

Damn mate, thats not good at all. Same sort of thing happened to me on the gixxer 250, lots of rain and a worn front tire ended with the front end washing out at 10km/h
Hope the bike gets repaired soon and even better than before

Full-comp insurance is a life saver eh?

The Scratches on the frame worries a little more :shock:
Radiator and Engine casing combined look like a realy expensive too repair.
Any Kawasaki parts are expensive to begin with, worked that out with the 7.
