Almost Terminated!

G"day Ppl, had an off on Canning Rd near Pickering Brook last Sunday 9th Nov
Was riding with Phil & Simon and enjoyin the Sun arvo ride along the Mundaring Weir , everthing was fine till I took a right hand turn along Cannng Rd, which at first looked a moderate turn but then hairpins, thats when I hit a gravel patch and had my front end slide out! so i slammed the rear anchors and and aimed for the pea gravel while avoiding a post and a few prickly shrubs and laid her down on her right side until we thudded and stopped! I basically walked away with a scratch and bump on the elbow and the ZXR 750 had some faring damage , I picked her up and kicked her over and finished the ride with the boys.
!!Be careful of loose gravel on corners !!
NOT EVERYONE IS A CYBERNETIC ORGANISM

See, that's what I never got about the Terminator...
A cybernetic organism requires both machine and flesh to function... ala The Borg.
The terminator was a straight up android with a flesh suit, evidenced by the fact that after burning all the flesh off it, it kept wandering around.

Hey mate. Sorry to hear about your drop, but if that's all the damage the bike took I think you did alright. You alright too? No bruises, breaks, oil leaks?

Possible that there was living tissue incorporated into the electronics...

Glad to hear you're OK. I suppose that's why good riding apparel is worth the money. Shame about the bike but if all you got was a fairing scrape, under the circumstances, you've done OK esp when posts and stuff were there for the hitting.

That would be an extremely unfortunate choice of flesh suit.

As I said when we came back to find you - any time you can walk away from an off is a good day.
I was worried what we find when we returned - Congrats on being able to wash off enough speed coz that took some doing

Seeing the condition of your lid, it was lucky you wore the full faced one

Nah the later Terminators used a Poly Metal Alloy, not even an outer skin
Besides the living tissue if inside on the original would have been destroyed in the Fireball from the petrol tanker
