Bugger, that tank shape means the impact went straight to my nutsack.

Just had a young fellah do this to his bike.



If you look closely, there's a couple of dings to the cooling fins too. That's wher where the muffler rode up.

In the mean time that case did this to my bike.



The fold in the pipe is impressive. And he did that mostly with his foot.

I always wondered Bluebottle would look like with a further upsewept pipe. I don't really care for it.



The mount got torn out quite well. That's going to be a bugger to fit a new one.

It happened in front of my place, just as I began the turn in to the driveway. He got distracted by a POS chucking a uey in the drive way directly across from my joint.

Then I took him to hospital after I could see the bone of his little toe poking out of the skin where the boot had torn through the leather and I'm pretty sure there's a few more breaks in the foot that he's going to find when the adrenaline wears off. Then he has to explain the damage to bloke who actually owns the bike, which is in my backyard.

I'm a bit sore in places too know that it is wearing off but I have a better drug cupboard than what the Accident and Emergency staff would let me have. Typing is getting interesting as I go.

Anyway, I'm gonna lay on the lounge and let the painkillers and muscle relaxants kick in.

Fark Pax, hope it's only bruising and no serious damage done. Sympathy for the other guy - young chappy or new rider?
Nope, don't really like the 'zorst line either. Is that a crack or break in the rear subframe bar or just a rust line (Pic #3, above the front footpeg)?

Just rust Dave, but I just broke an exhaust stud taking the pipe off. Shit....

Pax
Have you been over doing the meds in your cupboard.
Your post is not making as much sense as your usually well constructed tales do.
Your nut sack sore.
His little toe mangled
Were you two up on the bike?

Where is the photo of the tank?

I Hope you are okay Pax.

FFS Pax, I take my eye off you for just a moment.......sheesh.

Sore nuts and a sore back, but I'm fine.

Thanks Pax for the reply, hope I didn't interrupt your pain relief regime.

I went back and studied photos to work out there were two bikes involved.
Hope the bag of nuts feel better soon.
Have you applied the R.I.C.E. technique to injured parts.

May your twins recover quickly. And the back too.

Geez, I thought blue balls was a teenage thing.

Dad used to say "Take away the pain and leave the swelling"
Logically but a woman impressed by your huge black balls is unlikely to be thrilled by a little white dick hanging limply in front.
Young fella was on a chinese pocket bike ?

DRZ250. It's only the alternator cover, although I was a bit stunned yesterday when we wheeled them into the shed, I'll go down for a better look this arvo.

He was lucky, if he had missed the pipe with the cover, he would have taken it out with his shin.

He didn't come back last night, as I thought, so I'll probably see his Dad or someone come for the bike today.

Findapart is looking for a pipe for me, but if it is too expensive I might have to look at something else. At least the deposit won't be coming out of my pocket.

I've got some left over pipe from a trampoline and an old milo tin if you want to pick them up.
I'm all about the love.

I'm wondering how long I'd last with both headers cut off just below the engine cases. My neighbours would love my early starts.
