Take a look at the photos below. This is a result of riding with a friend who was an inexperienced rider on unknown backroads. He new about these backroads that hardly any cars go thru but he had never ridden them. Neither of us knew the territory and I let the other rider take the lead. When we first entered these roads everything looked simple enough and straight enough. Even though I gave him a generous lead, it didn’t take even a half second to note that he started to brake hard and bend right. It took me another half second or so to react and I broke the cardinal rule of fixating on the hazards in front of me rather than the turn. In all honesty though, if I had tried to take the turn I probably would have hit the other rider and ended up worse off. My path took me straight into the ditch (note the tire tracks in the grass before and after the ditch) and as soon as the front tire went down I ejected myself off the bike. I’m not sure but I think the rear fairing hit my ass on the way off because I launched for a couple of feet. I landed on my ass and the extent of my injuries are a small cut, a stiff neck and a big bruise on my ass!! I think the bruise is God’s way of kickin’ me in the butt for being so stupid! I even broke my own 2 rules: 1) Don’t be stupid and 2) Don’t show off!
Now that I have to rebuild her, anyone know a good source for plastics?
Has anyone purchased one of those sets from ebay? I think they are shipped from hong kong. They look sharp but I'm concerned about the fitment.
