Crashed the 636

[Caz]

Iv done it three times now iv been waiting an the gap i seen was massive so i assumed they went like most good motorists have but they didnt an blam 1st time it was my bosses landrover no real damage to his car id only been working there a couple of days haha the second time at the island where i work back of an assilum seaker no insurance (no problem thoe i wrote her car off the boot wouldnt shut frame all bent, no damage to my car) so i just said see ya an went an the 3rd time was an audi no damage to either car again

Sounds to me like you need to learn to be more observant! before you end up causing some serious damage! Assume that everyone else on the road is an idiot!

bad luck mate, i have (had) a little red Vespa 125 for nipping to the shops untill last week only about 200 hundred yards from my drive when a woman backed out of her drivway between parked cars and caused me to come off, scooter written of , said she saw me well how come she continued to reverse three quarters way across the road into on coming traffic (me) police arrived and ambulance etc nursing cracked ribs right now so dont make me laugh as it hurts, so not been able to ride the Kwacker in all this nice sunny weather of late , so i empathise with you right now, hope you make a speedy recovery and get back out on a new bike soon .



cheers Mogas ( Phil )

This seems bloody common i had a skipper 125 and was on my way to work on mornin. Was waitin at a island lucky it was a slow road as guy hit me about 20. he was full of crap though excuse after excuse. all cosmetic damage was a write off and paid for my 400

advanced driving course dont be a fool! they should never have been in my way mwahahaha. anyway when im talkin gaps i mean gaps did i mention all the ppl i drove into didnt have a clue about drivin oh an im sure the audi woman was busy on her phone an all. so far 5 yrs no real accident i think that sez it all.

I leave the biggest gaps to the car in front of me, when on bike or car. It's so proper 2 second rule, my stopping distance.
Or Tyres and tarmac when in a car.
I don't want to hit anyone so it's not worth looking for gaps in traffic until you're first up the line anyway.

my point exactly - you drive into the back of a stationary vehicle then its your fault for poor observation.

[superman]

see i wouldnt mind that but round by you it must be different cos if you leave to big a gap round ere :smt013 someone always cuts into it thus starting the road rage from hell (specially when they make the lights an you cant cos the camera). iv never driven into someone without first stoppin lmao

Have you dropped it already???

Where's the fairing gone???

LOL looks damn good! One of the few factory streetfighters that I'd consider*.



*under extreme duress - possibly involving s, buttplugs, and a blowtorch. And shup to anyone about to remind me of the streetfighter I had.

[WizzBang]

what are you doing with the 636 ??


I only ask as i may be in the market for a 636 to turn into a track project.

[psychopaulgtr]

i sold it back to the kawasaki garage for about £700 because i had to pay £300 for pick up and storage up front to take the 636 off them i would be able to claim that back off the insurance but it was just £300 i didn't have. however they are willing to sell it and have had some interest for use as a track bike it really needs alot of work as the frame is bent the cost of repair to get it road worthy would be around £4200 but this includes labour and shipment of genuine parts.

if you're interested you can ring kawasaki autorama on 01924-461112 and ask but i dont think they'll let it go cheap.

£700 :O i would have had it for that!!
