Today i looked at Bit Coin value. 10 yrs ago i couldve got 5 of them for $100. Asked Wife if worth pursuing, had been reading stuff on them. She reckoned just another scam, 100 wasted. Do what you want. I didnt buy. Today live value $350 k for those 5.

Today I took the 14 for a ride in the rain over the Big hill to Tauranga  running an errand  and popped in to see Kiwifruit for a coffee while I was there ...Then rode home in a torrential rain storm back on my side of the Big hill

Cheers for the hospitality Collin

Very nice, he's not a bad bloke is he.  :onya:   Hope you got some cake,  :imrgreen: Mrs KF had some homemade chocolate cake when I called in . . . :whistling:

Good of you to pop in James. Great to put a face to the name, nice bike too    :cheers:
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Hi guys
Sad day yesterday had a off on the bike in line of moving traffic on the motorway 65 mph behind a tall van and a big truck to my left. Then some twat in front of the van three car in front of him had a coming together bounced off each other this caused a massive sudden stop and yep even with150 yards gap there was no we're to go but end up as a van sticker  so I've got neck pain but ok ribs took a hit but ok and right ankle nice deep slide road rash but ok  bike

Looking to get front forks set .... My bottoms are good but the tube into the trees are bent
Right hand light controls at the part are road rushed
Throttle housing and throttle grip
Handle bars but not original rentals
Rear back fin housing
Right hand crash bars the big set type  not
Front mud guard ( deep blue if possible)
That's my shopping list as far as I can see at the moment.
I've got to wait for the inspection then for then to tell me how much they will offer me   MCE only offer payment or buy back  not a repair option  so I'd be looking to get any of the parts in a few weeks guys cheers   :onya:
look check and look again  then you see the fool

Sorry to hear that Mrg, hope youre ok? Get  that neck looked at asap.

Im sure you'll find the bits you need and get your 14 back on the road. 
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Mrg, just a sad situation. Feel for ya. As long as body not too bad,rest can be fixed. You have other bikes? Such a bad luck, hate these stories. Chin up in Pommie language,  just deal with it in Aussie. Best of luck Mate.

Sad news about your off MRG.  Least the body came through it without too much damage, gets worse after a day or so though, so watch that.   The bike does look forlorn, hope it can be fixed & the frame is still straight. 
😎  Always looking for the next corner.  😎

Standard bars, levers and possibly a few other bits of can get them I have a mate who's got loads of bits left over from a special build so if I can help I will .

Sad to see those photos Mrg. Pleased you're not too banged up. Best wishes for a quick recovery for both you and your bike.
:cheers:

Hope you don't feel too bad as the days go by as others have said it can get a bit sore in a couple of days
Any accident you can walk away from is good

I would get the frame checked for alignment as it looks like it took quite a big whack going by the bend and ripple in the forks and the oil cooler guard even that right front down tube on the frame doesn't look right to me but it could just be the photo

Time for a big rebuild with a few goodies thrown in

Get well soon
