Man Down

came to work early at 5 am yesterday to let some subbies on site. Got to work absolutely buzzing, as there was nowt ont road, and I nailed it. As I rolled down out access ramp to the underground car park, the auto roller shutter door started to close. No problem, I thought, just tickle t'front brake to slow me down a little, and break the safety beam, and it'll go back up. As soon as I touched t'brake lever, the front washed out, and I was down, at all of about 4 mph!! The ramp has a few potholes and the recent heavy rain had washed loads of loose gravel down, and I was ont edge of it when I braked. Consequently, put a hole in mi elbow, a couple in mi knee, and holed mi new 501's. Handlebar end, mirror, standard brake lever end, cracked side panel, scratched radiator covwer, cracked and scratched belly pan, scratched clutch and starter covers, and damaged both right hand triumph aftermarket LED indicators. I was not a happy bunny. The manager has asked for a price for parts, wether they cough up is another matter.

 

Yes, it is, mate.Not done owt to it since I got it back, so this may be a bit of a bonus.

 

Cheers chaps. Getting a quote from Triumphworld Chesterfield today.
