Default BA XR8 vs Honda CBR 250 :(

Honda= broken fairing, broken indicator, broken clutch lever, broken front visor?, broken kick stand. And that was just by looking, i imagine the thing wont ride too well.

Rider= bark removed and torn pants lol

BA XR8= Exhaust is bent, about 10 cent peice size of paint missing under rear bar

Actually im MASSIVELY ****ed off, but it goes to show what built ford tough means

Cheers
Jim

You wouldnt believe it, it was in my works parking lot driveway! Whilst me and 30 other workers were lined up single file waiting for a break in traffic, the 23 year old bike rider comes screaming through us as he allways does so he can get in front of everyone, however this time his throttle sticks (so he says ) at an easy 50/60k and used the xr8 to stop! BIG MISTAKE LOL
Dont worry im not totally heartless, i first and foremost checked that he was ok as he bounced like a beauty lol, then i saw his bike and the various peices, then checked the car, the exhaust is bent to one side and is knocking, hopefully all it needs is a bit of a straighten up.
I did tell him that any bills will be coming his way though!

Cheers
Jim

Croikey, good that he's ok, and no doubt the occasion will have learned him a good lesson! Bikes + traffic + silly riding = TROUBLE!

At least he's OK, even if it was his fault, it wouldn't be a good thing for either of you if he wasn't.
