Scott CR1




From Ian:
It's been a while since this actually happened, but here are some photos from me going into the back of a car at ~50km/h.

I was head down hurting at the start of morning peak hour and didn't see the parked car in a clearway/towaway zone until the last second. I had enough time to throw myself to the right and the bike went square into the back of the car. I took off the right hand side external mirror as I went past, and tucked and rolled as I landed about 2 metres in front of the car.. Didn't even crack my helmet on landing. Effectively got up and walked away but was taken to hospital emergency for a few hours to go over me. Just a couple of small scars which are not all that visible now 2 or so years ago.

I never 'suffer' while training or racing with my head down now. Something I try to teach everyone else to do.
Good advice. Check out the rest of the photos.

Does he want to sell the fork?

Funny, your bike was worth 6 times the value of the car you rear ended.

@ Ernesto - You wouldn't want it. It was badly chipped and damaged.

It was eventually put into the scrap bin at the local tip/waste disposal.

It reminds me of my day when I also did the same mistake. I also collided with a car with my motorbike because I was in hurry; I had to find Essay Help in Los Angeles. This is the reason, I was overspeeding to reach the home. You know, I broke back and side mirrors.

I strongly advised all the friends to do not get over speeding because it can hurt you much. Whatever the reason is, you always make sure that you drive the car within the speed limit. But yes, I always over speeding when I need to write my assignment but in academic writing not in driving. I hope all you will follow the advice.

John said...

Gosh! This must have caused a lot of damage to you (physically as well as financially). I hope you have recovered from this accident. I also ride a bicycle quite often. In fact, just before buying the Marketing Essay Writing Service UK-based from an online platform; I was riding a bicycle down the street.

I also appreciate the assignment assistance that comes with the purchase of this bike, as it has helped me get the most out of my rides. Overall, I would highly recommend Scott CR1 to anyone looking for a high-quality bike that offers excellent performance and support.
