Brother didn't get the memo
Apparently my brother didn't get the earlier memo about no more crashes. He crashed his F4i today. He's completely fine and the bike is still rideable.

Alright kids, let's stop the madness. Every second post seems to be someone going down. Ride with caution.

Re: Brother didn't get the memo
I'm glad to hear he's ok

Is there more crashes this year or is it just we have more members now so it seems like a lot more are going down

I blame it on el nino and the drier weather, more people and time on the road more chance to come a cropper.

Slowpoke if you can ship some of that water over to our reservoirs that would be great!! Its the middle of our winter and its 'hardly' raining (usually saves it up until the weekend and is clear during the week). Luckily Melbourne had some very forward thinking engineers to make sure the main reserviors are reasonbly full but its still pretty bloody dry here.

Too wet to have a proper ride but not wet enough to get some decent water stores. Some areas to the north of the city are sucking mud out of their reservior and looking at multimillion dollar pipes to the main reseviors.

Re: Brother didn't get the memo
First, glad your bro's okay and the bike isn't in too bad shape.

Second, I don't think we're getting anymore crashes than last yr. I remember last yr had a bunch too.

Strange, but my brother went down on his 636 a few days ago going to work, Broke his lower plastics and some nice scratches on the bike, not to mention denting and bending the exhaust, but he limped away with a hole in his knee and hand.....seems like everytime I go down he goes down a couple weeks after, happened last year also

I can say the same about my brother...but then again when you crash every other week it's bound to happen that way sooner or later
