Had my worst biking day ever !!!
On my way home from work last thursday whilst overtaking a car on a country road to get out of the spray my rear broke loose to the left and i ended up flying over the handle bars, after some distance i came to a stop, all my gear is ruined but saved me with no injury but sore wrists. But the bike looks awful the front has gone and the left side took the brunt. not sure what to do now as only 3pft!!! . Rebuild or brake??? aprilia parts as i have found are not cheap and even the carbon bit above the dash is £300. If i can i'll post a pick to see what you all think i should do with her i'd love to rebuild but i'm not on superstar money.
I'm as low as i have ever felt, there must be a light at the end of this tunnel but i can't see it yet!!!
