Rules for binning it on a HAGM

What are the rules if you bin it when having a ride on a friends bike ?

You fix it, or you've bought it.

"Donald" asked:

Generally, unless you were fully insured on it, then you have one less
friend.

 

"Wicked Uncle Nigel" said:

Which is a nice idea in principle, but seldom happens.

 

"Muck" asked pleasantly

Not yet, I want to... but have only been around here a week or so. I have
arranged to meet people from here, over the next couple of weeks, who have
e-mailed me directly.

It seems that quite a proportion of UKRM are from the south (ie. South of
Manchester) so I am guessing the meets are that way?

Let me know, oh and if I do go, free rides on me bike are not going to
happen, even with qualifying insurance.

 

Have you been to any ukrm gatherings?

Google for EOSM - happening in the Black Horse, Hulland Ward,
Derbyshire in a couple of weeks.

There's always plenty of others in attendance that are very generous
with their bikes. I'm not one of them though.

 

you look like a 2nd-hand car salesman, and your daughter's the ugliest child
I've seen in ages, though that's hardly surprising given the look of you and
your wife.

 

Hypothetical.

On a run yesterday my friend had a classic lowside, his front tyre slide
out underneath him on a slow sharp downhill left hander. The bike slid
across the road and landed in a mossy ditch about 15 feet below the road
(steep hillside).

Thanks are due to the passing motorist who helped us drag/ride the bike
back up to the road because it would have been very difficult with just
the two of us because of the slippy moss.

Even though it was slow (less that 20 or 30 mph) the left hand fairing
is scratched and cracked a bit and the gear change lever pedal snapped
off and wing mirror damaged. Easily fixed I guess, but still probably
£240 for the panel £70 for the mirror and £15 for the pedal.

We had planned to swap bikes at the end of that section so I could
compare his YZF 750 against my CBR600 RR3. The YZF seems quite advanced
for it's age but I guess I'll have to wait for next time.

My opinion is that if he's willing to let me have a go then I'm willing
to take on the risk of damage on the understanding that if it's
repairable then it's repaired, if not then a similar replacement is
found, all at my expense.

Anyway, it brought home the risk I was about to take on when riding his
bike and I was curious what others thought or had experienced.
Especially since it's nearly EOSM CIAGM time.

 

B-b-b-but, surely, the question we're all dying to know is does she
TIUTA?

ITWSBT.

 

That would be my understanding, too.

Please, nobody tell him - maybe if he has to JFGFI he'll learn a bit
about us.

Zan (CBR1000F) - www.zanziba.prodigynet.co.uk/pictures made up the
following gibberish:

Well, the latter one is easy = "I Think We Should Be Told".

The former is out there in Google-land, however, I was mildly surprised
to find reference to it here, also:

Heh.

 

I think his wife's probably into it - it must've taken a fair bit of
facial pillow-rubbing to get a hairline that high.
