[QUOTE="manglegrat, post: 1177104, member: 18503"] Thanks! I've nearly done your scenario before on my old VFR, turning right though, but a tight turn on a steep hill, 2-up. Buggered up the throttle and stalled, it started to lean over to the right and had to yell at the wife to jump off the bike or we were both going down. Managed to save that one, though - just! That bike weighs a lot less than the FJR, but we both weighed a lot more back then so it probably evens out... [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/wink.png[/IMG] The good news about this one for me is that the jackass is responsible for all repairs, and my deductible is waived. The estimate is back, $650CAD - assuming the mirror subframe is OK. The assessor said I should just keep riding it until the end of the season or it'll end up at the back of the line in the shop and I won't see it for ages, so that's exactly what I'm doing! I accompanied my wife to her bike license test yesterday on it. She passed! [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/punk.gif[/IMG][SIZE=14px] [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
