Oops!

[Guest]

Last year when I went on tour with Pembo and the boys The Dirty Old Pig ended up having to be towed through a flooded creek.This year things got worse.

We were just cruising and I didn't see the gravel on the inside of the corner and as soon as I hit it the front wheel tucked under and I was sliding along wondering what had happened.Fortunately TDOP slid along on the handlebars,the alternator cover and the rear footpeg so he didn't suffer too much.In the first pic Pembo and Dennis are deciding whether to throw on a match.In the second photo I am showing great courage coping with my terrible injuries.You get up in the morning and funny things just happen.I wonder what next year will bring.

o,man! that hurts just the same!
bl**dy gravel ...looks like the gravel came down from the other side of the road.Maybe a car skidded there or even the weather brought it onto the road surface to work it's way down and to get you.

yep,know how that feels

I remember getting a knee like that,i think the worst thing(apart from a nurse getting a brush like you would scrub a front step with then saying quite unnecessarily "this is going to hurt")was watching the gas running out of the tank that I'd just filled!!!!.Maybe that's why every time I go out I wear my leathers,no matter how hot it is.Johnny

Gorminrider after any roadworks in Oz the boys throw shovel loads of small screenings on top,so we're well used to it.Perhaps I need to start wearing my glasses.I hate getting old.

ah! Peagravel+tar..Macadam road...
We see it in the towns and cities here but nowadays all the highways and most new roads seem to be black asphalt here, being an oil-rich country, I guess.
I'm going to get some proper pants. seeing as vegemite is hard to find here..

That is funny. No hypogonadism here.

As evidenced from pic # 2, Your oil pan appears to be oil tight, unlike any gs ive ever owned. nice. On a more serious note, I'm glad you're relatively unharmed, and can have a sense of humor about it

WEDOO2,what on earth is a hypogonadism?
DORKBURGER when I rebuilt my silver GS1000{pg 69 show us your custom} about 6 years ago I followed the advice of some of the experts on this site and used new gaskets put on dry.It has done 5,000ks and has weeped oil from day 1.When I rebuilt the Pig 2 years ago I followed different advice and used Three Bond on every gasket and I've done 25,000ks without any sign of a leak.I reckon Three Bond is so good it might even stop my old Trumpy from leaking.

Max I'm sorry to see the pig on its side, but glad to see you got hand guards on there! My hand guards on the 450 have saved me twice now... once from having my brake lever jammed against the 'bar by a moron cager's mirror and another when I got knocked off at low speed by a ute last year.

Glad to see it's only gravel rash... ouch!

Sorry to read about your incident; heal up and get that bike sorted.

Mate,The Pig was running last week and on Saturday we did 170ks going to see the damage caused by the biggest of only 19 tornadoes to ever hit Australia.On Sunday I did 500ks with my club to enjoy a barbecue at Lake William Hovell and The Pig ran better than ever because I fixed my clutch which has been slipping for ages.Good weather,good roads,good day.

Gravel always has the right of way...more like right in your way.
