Giving up riding after big car accident
Discussion
....well sorry for the quick plug but if you are or know of someone interested in something like a Fireblade then I'm selling mine here (ph link)
Bought the bike back in Agust but still suffering after a big one back in 2000.... someone thought my car was invisible so they decided to overtake a truck and use my road space.
This has left me with several life long injuries - lifes pretty normal but I now finding riding too painful on my foot and the thought in tbe back of my head of what if I come off is too great

i know this has nothing to do with why your selling it, just a straight question.......

honest and non-biased salesman answer? Love it, seriously love it. The riding position is just right, the power is smooth and very rapid and it just looks spot on. Never got around to using an aftermarket can and tbh glad I kept it straight
if it doesnt go I'll prob end up taking it out when its warmer but I would honestly say its the best bike I ever owned. I loved my original blade adn this one just does more things for me appart from sort out my arthritic foot!

hard to believe its almost 5 years since you got it. At one point I'd have loved a trx
the TRX was good fun, just lacking in top speed

9 points 150 quid fine
but it was just an accident am sure we've all had over takes then thought we cut it a bit close...

True, however I prefer to use the word 'incident'. An 'accident' is something which couldn't realistically be foreseen and avoided.
Looks like a really horrific accident, there didn't seem to be space inside the remains to fit a driver, amazing that you made it through.
I'd call it an accident since it clearly wasn't deliberate.

nice bike, hope you get a sale.
on the topic of the MisterToo, I was always a bit dubious as to how one would stand up in a frontal, that answers my questions.
best of luck.

yeah but it was a bit of a big one and I walked(well after some time
) away you can tell the car was built to different standards than an ncap 5 car, steering colum into chest/pelvis, brake pedal came towards me hence foot/ankle damage though thats part my fault for braking...
