765 Log Crossing On A 765r Is A Bad Idea! :d

So I went off hunting fish and chips today on my bike, Littlehampton chippy was rammed so bailed on that and went up to Whiteways Cafe... which I didn't really want to do as it was also rammed when I rode past on my way to the chippy, as it turned out, it was a bad idea, but not because of the crowds, more because of the crowd control, they have filled the carpark with a log maze which you need to navigate to get into where the bikes are now allowed to park...

There were a couple of cyclists blocking the entrance so I pulled to the left to let them through, which they just looked at me like I was some kind of idiot... maybe they could see the future.... anyhows, as they didn't move out the way, I decided to ride in past them anyway... not noticing that I was too close to one of the traffic control logs (am sure it jumped out on me)... My gear leaver smashed straight into it and bent completely out of shape. I couldn't get it into 1st, but thankfully I could use 2nd-6th still so was able to limp it home after some swearing





I've refitted my standard footpegs and linkages now, I hope I can get the individual parts for the Daytona rearset to fix it!

 

I'm absolutely fine, didn't drop the bike, just my self esteem!

 

Fortunately, I found the damaged parts on Fowlers Parts website and have ordered them and a few other bonus bits. So glad I was able to get the broken bits and din't have to replace the whole thing!

 

one was a lass, so I'm hoping for some kind of STD at least!

 

Cheers Wessa

Hahaha... my cooties are very jumpy!

 

Has allowed me to also justify ordering some bits I wanted as it allowed for free delivery, so can't wait to get them too!
