Hi, can anyone suggest a good garage to take a look at my bike after the accident. i didn't realise but the company that picked it up only store the bike.

also, can anyone suggest a place that i could keep it at low cost as this place is charging £12 + Vat a day

thanks

Jade

im in plymouth....i know its not close but you can store your bike in my garage and i will help you get it back on the road, just fill me with beer

how bad is it - whats wrong with the bike is it rideable?

Speedy has a mechanic which no doubt he will highly recommend as soon as he reads your post

Speak to DynaMight he will be able to help out with bike, just give him a good kick up the ass at work tomorrow - he is the scruffy looking one

Sorry to hear about your off jade, glad you’re okay, sorry about the bike.i'm sure you will get it looking great again. If you need a hand getting it from A-B , I’d be happy to stick it in my van………… as long as B isn’t Scotland

You are welcome to use the garage at my house to store/ fix it but it is in Honiton. Dunno if this helps. Hope you get it sorted soon.

if your looking to pay for it to be repaired try sp motorcycles or jamie at bike worx.

Thanks Guys, Dave is taking it into M & P race track today just to assess the damage. hopefully i should find out in a day or two whats wrong and then go from there.

thanks Julian, much apreciated! i'll give you a call if needed

i'm sure i will be calling on people once i know the damage - i can provide beer

just out of curiosity as ive never witnessed anything like that on the road,or even the track. how the hell did you manage to highside a cbr over a 6ft hedge and secondly how did you get away so lightly ???

i'm not too sure to be honest. cant really remember it! And i really don't know how i came off so lightly! the ambulance guys didn't think it was me in the accident when they turned up as i was standing and crying over my bike

Right, not as bad as i thought! big long list of things though. body repair alone is gonna be £500-600 so if anyone knows of any parts for a CBR600FX 99 PLEASE let me know!!!

back frame bent
new exhaust
new foot rest mountings
new leavers
new indcators
new clip ons
new mud gaurd and front top fairing

that must have had a ramped grass verge as a launching pad or something!
