Crashed my bike :(

I find myself unable to construct an opposing argument.

 

I think I'm here for a while longer now. I had a big camp argument
this morning and it looks like it worked. So Mr. ER-5 will be on the
mend ASAP.

 

Gets knob out.

 

Bear says...

Rule me out.

 

Mrs Dodger doesn't even ask, anymore.

It's all her fault, anyway, for buying the Wing in the first place.
She came with me to buy the CBR1000, and the Blackbird.

"Well, you want it, so go back and buy it" was her "argument" against
the purchase, iirc.

She's a little less impressed by the two most recent purchases,
though.

I dunno, Linda's always dead keen to go on the French runs.

Then again, she is a bit odd.

I'm not here your amusement you know...

 

Heh - I think we've ascertained that it's unlikely.

She's just quite fussy about how she spends her time (I know, I'm amazed
she's with me too )

So she saves *ages* on shagging by sleeping with you?

Oh fine. Put *me* on the spot, why don't you?

I don't know. But make it funny. That's all I ask.

Identical bike? You don't happen to need the clocks, do you?

Do you have any wood to touch there, love?

It helps to reduce ones OVERconfidence - but that is not a bad thing.

The only reason I wasn't back on it the next day was because the
bloody ignition wouldn't work. I also went back to my off-spot on my
way back from the hospital, but it was too dark to see anything, so a
visit the following morning gave me an opportunity to grab my right
indicator and the rest of my clocks off of the side of the road.

 

You find me amusing? I'm surprised.

 

You're *all* here for my amusement.

I think it's known as "The Darsy Position".

 

Lozzo opined:

"A 60mph spill in a textile jacket and he walked away with scuffs- not
so bad really."

I'd say he fared rather better than could have been expected. I have
heard plenty of anecdotal evidence of riders walking away unscathed
from accidents when they have been wearing rather less than robust
clothing, and saw an example for myself one day when I came across the
aftermath of the sudden joining of a Harris Magnum with a caravan. The
sleeve of the rider's PVC Rukka jacket had melted back to the lining,
but he was entirely uninjured...!

However, the standardised tests are tests to destruction. They
establish the limits of performance of clothing materials and
assemblies. If the failure point occurs at or above the threshhold set
by the standard, that's a pass. The chaos theory, luck-of-the-draw and
fate components which occur in any accident are engineered out of the
standardised tests.

Depending upon the quality and fabric weight, most air-textured nylon
(of which "Cordura" is DuPont's branded product) lasts somewhere
between 0.45 and 0.65 seconds. A couple of companies have produced
single layer Cordura garments using luggage-weight material, and this
achieves Level 1 of the standard at the expense of increased stiffness
and, consequently, reduced user comfort. Multi-layer and
three-dimensional weave technology garments easily exceed Level 2 of
the European Standard and some have achieved the higher, Level 3
performance of the Cambridge Standard.

 

Being over cautious can be handy sometimes. I've been being slightly
over cautious since my offing. The gearbox sounds far happier when
I'm not beating it up, and riding around has felt far more graceful.
All I've been doing is approaching blind bends at a speed that I can
actually stop at, in an appropriate gear and cutting down on the
Suicide Overtakes a bit.

I wasn't speeding (Officer) - I seemed to minimise my road polish
braking by bouncing and rolling, so I may have got a bit further
because of that.

I've got it going now, the fuse had blown. After a bit of gaffer tape
on the clocks/light it's now back on the road.

 

What parts do you need for it now?

 

Nothing from a Ural Combo, you may be sure of that.
