Charlotte's got a headache! :(

Post by P4nza »

Not in a good way either...

It was a monday morning an decided to ride my bike to work... looked like a beautiful morning so i took off... during my ride to work i thought to myself... when the heck does my rego expire, because i had recieved the 2012 rego renewal letter a couple weeks earlier and didnt take notice to when it expires... turned out it was on the sunday!.. Anyway when i got to work i had the nasty surprise to see yes it was expired, so got a lift back home after work and got the car and trailer... so after work loaded the bike onto trailer and my boss needed his toolbox taken home so i did him the favour... box and bike tied down tightly and off we go, so far so good passing 3 corners, here i am coming up to number 4, so i slow right down to 15km/h to take the turn and as i look back ( it was almost like slow mo) i watched the bike fall OUT of the trailer and hit the deck onto the handlebars! :cry: the bike was still tied to 2 straps but the one holding the right side of the bike gave way and off the bike went hitting the deck, after i got over my big screaming rant i quickly cooled off and people got out of their cars to help as i was in the middle of an intersection, my boss turned around and helped aswell... :x :x :x :cry: :cry: :cry: :oops:

The damage: i got some pics of the damage but not a lot as i was too pissed to think of taking them at the time.
Nose fairing
Mirrors + mounts
Nose fairing glass
L/H fairing
Side-stand + possibly the frame
L/H Handlebar
Brake Master Cylinder cover
L/H Fork got a bike scrape

Yesterday Scott from Motorcycle Disposals came to assess the bike because ive lodged this with my insurance company and they have taken the bike away to get fixed... hopefully it wont be a write off! $1250 excess is the damage to my pocket which im not too happy about... its better than $1800 if i was to have a stack while riding :shock:

Bugga... :x
At least its fixable Brian, I had a chooky come of the L/H side of the ute years ago, hold down strap broke and much the same thing happend except I didnt know it was being dragged and bouncing down a country road until finally a mate following got up beside me to let me know (who I though was trying to race me so of course I went faster) :roll: :oops: :lol:

One Totally trashed bike.
So I usually use top brand straps and double them up and a tyredown rear strap just to be sure ;) Not that helps you any now.

Holy shit that's a bummer. Good news though, we can get you a new Kaneg sticker no problems.
