Travelling down the A1 bank holiday Monday I mistook a small layby for a sliproad, then stuffed my bike into the curb, I couldn't pull out back onto the road, traffic was heavy and the next vehicle behind me was another bike so i took the option to crash.
The front wheel hit the curb at an angle, throwing the bike down hard onto its left side, the engine hit the curb, quickly followed by the back wheel which bit on contact, throwing the bike back out onto the A1, spinning in the left hand lane spewing oil everywhere.
As you can see by the photos one engine casing bit the dust, front and rear fairing took a bit of damage but the crash bobbins without a doubt saved my engine from a complete wrecking, the only damage was to the single casing, a crack in the centre as it hit the curb and the grinding from the bottom as the bobbin wore down.
I can honestly say without the bobbin I wouldnt be riding my bike now, it was all back together after a couple of days finding parts and the bobbins will be replaced.
Some people say that crash bobbins look stupid so they wont fit them, I say they must have too much money to burn.
Regards
Chris.
