can describe 2 ways over handle bars is one, other is when cornering it flips over and slams into the floor flipping you off the bike

Back wheel slides, rider back offs throttle, back wheel now grips, result rider is flyin through the air.

Anton how slight is slightly bent? Any frame damage is usually a write off. It's also very expensive to get a frame straightend on a jig

Sorry to hear that....

PS if you want a new frame you also get the V5 with it. It's a right pain in the arse cos you have to inform the DVLA and sort out the new V5.

right I dunno if this place is close but I've been told this place is good. Plus I'm getting a number for someone in Whittlesey you works from a big home garage who has all the jigs.
