Taff & Purpleen update

As many of you may of heard, Taff had an off at the rider skills day. He,as said high sided, the bike and Taff flipped a few times, the end of the off was caught on video by Buzz, he may post it on the forum. Well, we managed to get a van, Thanks and a big up to Ely, got back to MIRA at 21.00hrs, loaded the bike and set off for South Wales 23.30we arrived and consumed a few Stella's, Hello Keith, put a lock on your door mate :h and settle down to sleep at 02.30hrs. Up bright and early and in the cold light of day the bike was unloaded and the extent of the damage assessed It appears mainly body work but the subframe may be twisted and the left side engine case is cracked. Got a few pics of the bike, so we can follow the rebuild stage by stage.

Purpleen may be down, but she deffinatly aint out :t

Gutwrenching, at least the bike is repairable and that Taffy is not badly injured.

All machinery is repairable to some degree....

People less so..

Glad to hear that Dave is reasonably OK...Hope he feels back to normal really soon...

Loads of love for a speedy recovery big dude....

Cheers,

Rolfy & Jan

Hate to see great machinery in a state but the really trick bit of the kit that is so very hard to fix has come out of it ok I see.. You your self Taffy ! :p

Oh and just to rub a little salt into the situation, looking at the pics it LOOKS like the right hand engine case in damaged as well as the left :cry:
