Well I just came off at Silverstone while doing CSS level 2 on the last drill of the day, I seem fine but the bike may be a different story.

The gearbox seems to have locked solid the lever moved initially after the crash but after finding a neutral it no longer wants to move. The lever took a knock big enough to break the end of the lever off.

I'm leaving the bike with IDP Moto here to get them to take a look.

Oh bugger mate...

BigOz · 20-07-2013, 05:04 PM

Yup, I've got a feeling this could end up being expensive.

20-07-2013, 05:22 PM

Sorry to hear that Oz

MrsC_772 · 20-07-2013, 07:17 PM

Really sorry to hear that - I know how much you were looking forward to CSS level 2, and how much effort, money and tweaking you'd put into that bike to get it set up to suit you.

Hope the bike is fixable without too much expense.

20-07-2013, 08:01 PM

Oh no!! Hopefully it's sortable without too much expense. Give Alec at Ducati Priteam a shout on Monday morning.

Sorry to hear Oz, at least your ok and the fact you're out there pushing it and trying to make yourself a better rider has to be admired, hope the bill isn't too bad!

20-07-2013, 11:44 PM

Sorry to hear that

Glad your ok ...

slob · 21-07-2013, 04:53 AM

Fingers x-ed for you Oz.

BigOz · 21-07-2013, 06:33 AM

Been googling and there seem to be a fair few reports of stuck gear selectors on new shape Monsters due to parts under the generator cover so I'm a little more hopeful that it won't prove to be expensive internals.
As long as I'm rolling and not financially in a hole by the MOB trip I'll be happy.

Black Bob · 21-07-2013, 08:18 AM

Fingers crossed for you, matey.

Funkatronic · 21-07-2013, 08:34 AM

J.P · 21-07-2013, 09:26 AM

Mate really sorry to hear you crashed out. I hope you're ok and secondly the bike won't bee too much trouble to resurrect ...

gary tompkins · 21-07-2013, 03:31 PM
