Hello Again,

Another quick note, in the hope everyone learns from my constant mistakes.

A few weeks ago, a mate and I were winding up around St. Albans, scaring the shit out of the local horses and getting the pegs down wherever possible.

Everything was going brilliantly until, in the middle of a deep left - I hit a bump in the road. The front wheel hit and sent the middle of the bike grating against the road; it was a big hit - but aside from getting a bit wobbly, nothing awful happened (I stayed on the bike - always the ultimate guage of things going right IMHO).

The impact scraped the crap out of my primary drive cover, just under the derby. It didn't look too bad though, so I ignored it until I developed an oil leak a few weeks later.

Long story short - the impact made a tiny hole in the primary drive; which caused it to leak... which cost $600 to repair.

I've kept the damaged cover and will try get it welded for prosterity's sake, and I'll upload some pics in a few days.

But in the mean time, if your bike sits low - take it a little easier on country lefts.

cool good story. You got away unscathed . Also got a good $600 wall hanging.
