Thanks Rob ......

I have an armadillo type thing ..... I think I'll shove it in the back of my jacket ....

I'm the same. I have a Dianese Ducati one but have never worn it, even though i tell myself i should. I dont ride casual and will always be wearing the leather jeans and jacket with proper boots but no back protector. I need to start getting used to wearing one i suppose?

Glad to hear you're on the mend and all the best wishes fot a speedy full recovery Rob.

slob · 15-06-2019, 12:00 PM

I was wrong it's 4-part

It's no good in your hall, only your jacket!

Oh Rob, mate.... I only just learned about your mishap as I have been somewhat detached from here of late. Truly sorry to hear of the off, and the pain and aggro, but so glad to hear that you're still very much alive and that the beard and sense of humour are well and truly intact.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope to see you again soon.

'Bob'.

p.s. I have that exact same back protector.... erm... somewhere... * looks at shoes *

slob · 16-06-2019, 12:57 PM

I’m still worried I wasn’t supporting young Jedi neck enough.

thanks ~~Bob~~ Chris

That chest strap for your back brace looks like the ideal mounting point for a forward-facing papoose, Rob!

Careful Rob, they are very contagious!

Rob cheeky question, when you crashed the bike did front wheel survive?

Mine is fully bent.

slob · 02-07-2019, 10:58 AM

i think the wheels and forks are ok, but not mine until the insurance is settled next month
(endo’d immediately before impact as i tried to avoid up to the last nanosecond)

what happened to yours? pothole or worse?

Saint aka ML · 02-07-2019, 11:10 AM

Pot hole and it turns out monster R wheels are erm unique to this model....

Will try to straighten it.

Also 3 fork seal on same fork in 18 months.

I love it but streetfighter with none ohlins.

BigOz · 02-07-2019, 12:52 PM

I had a bent wheel straightened by these guys http://www.motoliner.com/ they did a top job, the repair was invisible.
