A right hand bent caught us out, but i couldnt get round it right, i lost the back tyre a bit.
Then a million ideas went through my head, i could have tried to pull it round the corner and risk binning it on the road.
If id have gone wider then i risked a ditch and a hedge.
Third option was a smallish entrance to a field, figured id be able to hold it upright and slow down, hit a little bump, went airborne and landed left hand side down in the biggest muddy patch ever!
Cosmetic damege to the bike, cracked fairing, cracked screen, and left hand side mirror smashed. any help with spares appriciated!

i was really gutted at first, but now i think to hell with it, im not the first biker to come off, and that probly wont be my last crash. New loan, new bike, new crashes!
In fact there were bits of other bikes in that field so im thinking it must be a bit of a biker graveyard lol

Tell you what, its good to know someone else dropped it on that corner, i felt like a right bif! As for war wounds on the leathers, the crash has made me realise how i need them, i had a jacket, but only jeans and bike boots, had that been a road it would have been bad!
Anyone know any cheap 400's for sale? :lol:

Actually that humpback bridge was the first time i had one wheel up. Pants were nearly soiled! If anyone comes across a NC24 being broken then let me know guys as can do with the cheap spares lol!
this bike will end up being one that gets trashed until i learn to ride properly!
