Well, after low siding my 21 today i can confirm that Chinese bodywork does not crash too well.
The things i do to help Andy prove a point.
So now we can add that to the reasons not to my Chinese!
Anyone want to buy a slightly worse for wear MC21?
Oh cock. Sorry to hear that. How totalled is it? _________________ MC21SP Plaything

Yep, hope your OK Jeff. A bruised ego heals much faster than a bruised limb. _________________ Rich

Thanks guys!
It was a cold tyre job..luckily i was not going too fast.
I have always been the first to scoff when a racer blames a crash on a cold tyre, but not any more. The back tyre just spun up, and round she came. Did not even try to grip.
The right hand side went down, both brake leavers, top and bottom fairing panels and the mud guard.
I just lost a bit of skin..and have a bit of neck and rib pain.
Could have been a lot worse. a neighbor was killed a mile up the road Tuesday..puts things into perspective.
Sorry to hear it mate
Ive come very close to a high side stuffing around doing 'tyre warming' weaves on cold tyres. Best left for the track one thinks
Hope you get it back on the road quick smart _________________ Winning isn't everything, but loosing isn't anything
there are two types of fairings coming out hong kong at the moment which are made in china.
Polyeurathane plastic that melts in high heat and cannot be plastic welded and actual ABS plastic that can.
Most large 600 and 1000cc sport bike fairings that are being made are the ABS type but the smaller bikes are usually the former polyeurathane type. Can yours be plastic welded? Your crash also unfortunately does not prove that normal plastics would have faired any better....
Any pics would be useful to illustrate the point.
Sorry to hear about **** crash tho, I have crashed 21 times now and the money i have spent repairing my bikes i could have bought 4 more NSRs..
