Alphabet experiment leads to pain

Took twenty minutes to fix old alphabet two into one sounded good but age old problem. Whipped off front mudguard quick blast back, tightened headers . Then back out to see if I could notice any top end pull differences , not a bit of difference . Then I fcukin crashed on the way back , like to give an excuse but I recon pure stupidity will have to suffice. Handle bars are wonky and the alphabet is crushed and the kids are chuffed it wasn't the triumph.
And for some strange reason I am not in the least bit annoyed about the incident .

Fantastic, good work. You can just bend back those bars using brute force. Never liked 2 into ones anyways ,separate sound pulses most satisfying to ears. Hit the bottle. :roll:

Oh man you are some brazen soul as I get rather upset annoyed with me and my hobby crashing hazards. I think you are just teasing to attempt to bend these bars back and as they look about right and less bent than my SV650 dog downed bars I used long pipe on, might keep me in mind to send em too so I have spare next time bars too bent to bother with again. Oh yeah I get some cycle electrical gremlins and some delayed body nerve effects after so hope your cavalier attitude holds up.

That'll buff right out.

Sound advice torontoman
Hobot, sorry for being brazen, but my ass got kicked and it was me that kicked it so no harm done.but the biggest disappointment was the bike ran well enough sounded good ,but no real difference from 70/80 maybe it's the single carb cos I could feel it with the amals.
Concours, old school!

Aw shoot oleblue crashing is punishment enough but curious what you think happened. Cycles always take away full control of life and limb even if in denial for a time. Part of the manhood of riding tests to me to talk myself out of correct survival reasoning. The spikes of animal fear as it happening then the impact shock then scale of mental emotional physical reverberations to shake off. Tweetie Pie's motto applies some of us... I get spanking in the morning...but I do it anyway..

Steve ,no need to be curious. No due care and attention left the Tarmac and down and across an embankment and was stopped by a heavy wooden cattle fence. I do remember thinking this is some crazy ride and then my face smashed into a fence post, lucky I had full face on or I recon I'd be screwed.
One of the guys came out his cottage to investigate the noise,I was lying on the ground laughing cos the crash had pulled the sole off my left boot. The old guy was a biker and he just said were you no watching where you were going , I just said no I fancy trying a new route but its no worked out too well.
I can walk but my body is sore all over. All in all not the worst crash I've ever had but it was a bit of out the box fun.

With a better seat this may turn out not too bad, two tone looks good!
