19. forzaq8 | October 8th, 2006 at 7:52 pm

why do you think they got to you fast ? :P
20. Cajetan Barretto | October 8th, 2006 at 9:28 pm

With all the publicity that Tristar is getting from this event, I feel they should classify this under “marketing expenses” and do the repair for free. Win-Win situation for both parties.
21. Marzouq | October 9th, 2006 at 12:08 am

hahahaha! Cajie.. you hit the hammer on the nail!
22. MARK CHICAGO | October 9th, 2006 at 1:18 am

23. MARK CHICAGO | October 9th, 2006 at 1:21 am

24. Yazeed | October 9th, 2006 at 8:11 am

lol this is too funny
25. RaZ | October 9th, 2006 at 8:23 am

TRIXTER, no way does it cost the same for a honda or ducati, BMW or HD…..
26. michael | October 9th, 2006 at 9:03 am

At least there aren’t fairings to replace! :D

Glad you’re mostly okay, though. It’s a lot easier to fix abike than a person!
27. mocman | October 9th, 2006 at 10:35 am

28. Hashim | October 9th, 2006 at 4:23 pm

F*ck the bike! Get better first.
29. Fatality | October 9th, 2006 at 9:44 pm

Hey man, i haven’t been on your site for a while since my working hours are at night now. Sorry you had an accident. That’s how a bikers life is. live and well first minute, bits and pieces the next.
30. Maze | October 11th, 2006 at 2:21 am

Most imp ur fine!!!
31. Mark deSouza | October 11th, 2006 at 7:05 pm

That is why you need one of those cheapER bikes you see those masris riding on the highway…those old-school white things that go at 40 km/hr.

Cant get hurt at that speed(unless ure run over), and even if you do…the bike isnt too costly.

Hi Mark, this is my 1st time on your website. For now, all I can advise you is to get your self ready for a 1 day trip to Dubai on the 25th of November attend the stage 1 California Superbike School course at the Dubai’s Autodrome (www.dubaiautodrome.com). It’s a 1 day course and you will come out from it a master in cornering. This course will cost you AED 1900/- (approx 170KD). The only issue you’ll face is that you need to have your driving license & bring your bike along. For more details visit website: http://www.superbikeschool.co.uk or contact the Middle East representative: Mrs. Petra van Zoelen, phone: +971 50 453 4095 or email : petravz@emirates.net.ae
