After 3 years incident free riding a zx12r (up until xmas when some thieving scumbag nicked it :evil: ) I picked up a 3 yr old CBR600F1 on Saturday.
This evening, while driving along Brook St in Brentwood, I was filtering past traffic but still keeping to my side of the road. Anyway, mister {EB} Head in a white van coming in the opposite direction decides he also wants a share of my lane.
End result being that he caught the side of me, ripping the front off my right boot and putting a nice dink into my exhaust.
As you can imagine, I am rather ****ed about it but to make matters worse I had my wife on the back. She is now extra nervous about me having the bike.
Bastard van driver didn't even stop but I should have expected that.
Ah well, just means I'll have to get that new can a bit earlier then I hoped for.
Bad luck.
Oh and welcome to the Forum! :wink:

ARRRRR enough with the lectures and looks! ok, i did sumink silly but it was in the heat of the moment how many stories do u hear of bikers getting knocked off by cars etc! or caused to crash!
my mate james was coming up to a round about where he had right of way and was bout to turn to a turjning and a car thrashed p[ast him and caused him to crash and he just drove off didnt help him up or stop! nor did 2 cars that just drove round him, and all the copps want to do is pull us ova and do us for speeding etc or small number plates etc! well today i got my own back and im proud of what i did and im not going to show remourse i thought u lot of all people would understand! how many times have you wanted to get ur own back on the dam cage drivers!
Ok. You can have your opinion.
I was just warning you as I dont want to see you get into trouble.
