Just a short something I threw together

Wait a minute...

Didn't you just crash your CBR 150 a little while back?

And now you crashed the CBR 400?!

Or am I just confused and you only crashed one bike...

Man... good luck!!!

The repaired bike looks stunning, btw

Now try to keep her shiny side up, ok?

The CBR 400 got dropped, the above video is the same one, after being fixed up

How did you manage to drop it? I can't tell from the video. One minute our upright going through a corner (and it doesn't look like your lean angle is very much) and the next instant you are down.

Basically I was on 'touring mode' which meant the bike and myself was carrying a ton of gear. Add to that factor the u-turn I made was on an opposing camber (it was going against a slope, literally) and the CBR 400 being a lot heavier than a piddly scooter and down she goes. It's scary how fast something like that can develop. I had no warning until I was 3/4s of the way out of the U-turn and I realised how sharp the angle of the camber was

But alll is well now folks.

JK, You had me confused too, I thought you binned the 150. Now everything is clear!

Are you happy with the repair results?

[Bard]

Good you both are OK again Jim,

Take care

That's a pretty sh1t video till the last 30 seconds, anyone else have trouble with it?

Well the first bit is real ordinary, especially for JK, afterall hes in the middle of a bike accident. Is that what you meant?

[JimsKnight]

Yeah happy with the results of the repairs.

Sh1t video? Do you mean the youtube quality or the video itself?

If the latter I wonder what you were expecting? Spielburg production values perhaps?

"keep your wheels down and your feet on the pegs" - name that quote!

Bike looks nice. Bikes are definitely more fun upright, except if you are 16 yo on your first trail bike, at that age you feel no pain.
