Damage report!
Posted: Thu Dec 11, 2008 6:37 pm
Hi all,
had my first crash today :smt013 . Was going round a corner I have been round loads of times before at higher speeds and the front started to wobble. Being a numpty I was too hard on the rear brake and as the corner carried on round I carried on straight. Luckily nothing coming the other way and I found myself in a ditch with the bike on top of me. It started fine once it was out of the ditch, (thanks trucker dude!) but the handlebars are slightly off now. Rode the mile and 1/2 home no problem.
Not mechanically minded, does this sound like it is gonna be a major issue?
