Expensive Dump

Dumped the Deauville in traffic @ about 25mph (diesel spill) and have
damaged forks, yolk, panels and h/bars. Slid a short distance, picked self
and bike up and drove 150 miles home before realising was leaning lower at
the front. Next day @ casualty found sprained ankle, cracked rib and some
undiagnosed problem with knee (have to go back when swelling has gone
down).......
Incredible amount of damage for such a little spill IMO.........

 

Not as funny as Champ.

 

That's a tough break (ooh wrong word to use ). Did you seriously not
realise you had a cracked rib until the next day? Mind you can't do
anything about it anyway.

My dad got knocked off his Deauville a couple of years ago and that
caused a huge amount of damage. Bummer!

Yeah, like you were about me.

 

a dead dog.

eewww.

 

Well, you can get a decent bike now and damage yourself even more
severely....

Oh, and GWS.

 

GIT bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the lines
of:

Ooops, GWS. Watch it with the knee, as that'll take bloody ages to sort
itself out. DAMHIK,IJD,OK.

 

As in when using French toilets (hole in the floor) and forgetting your
wallet is in the back pocket of your jeans.

No it wasn't me, but I know a man who has!

 

Sorry to hear about your (personal) damage.

But definitley no loss on the bike front ;-)

HTH

Paul.

 

GIT was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Get a Pan, they crash better than that. BTDTGTT.

GWS, BTW.

 

And there's me thinking you used Andrex or something.
