[QUOTE="Metatron, post: 424944, member: 7920"] Sometimes you just cant prevent the accident. The 850 being a shafty had that infamous Japanese shaft wobble in a high speed corner. And 300kgs of potyster with what is essentially a set of bicycle brakes don't stop in a hurry. I didn't stand a chance that time. My phone was broken in the accident. Girlfriend said the same thing. At least it was me calling an not an EMT. Had a Yamaha RZ50 in high school. Crashed that so many times, the guy at biking accessories would see me coming in the door and get out 2 x indicators for me before I even got to the counter... :facepalm: Must mention, just this morning a bloke with a bakkie cut me off on Marlboro heading west. In the corner... He tried to get out of the way at least once he saw me coming. Only had 2 fingers ready on the front brake and that was enough. The 1200R's ABS and breaking assist just took the hard braking in the corner. Not even a squibble from the back wheel... :clap: [/QUOTE]
