Mate, I don't know if you still commute through Chobham and West End but there's been a lot of new housing development and the contractors have been quite bad at keeping the roads mud free. One particular corner in West End is terrible as it's a blind corner and in their wisdom they decided to make it the entrance to the site. Blind corner, big trucks and diggers and slippy mud all over the road like a farm track. They've been warned more than once but take it careful riding through at the moment.
I feel your pain completely mate, had an off recently on my MT-07. Cold tyres on cold greasy roads and it just went out from under me on a slip-road. Bike slid across both lanes of the dual carriageway at 30ish and stopped at the central reservation without being collected by traffic. If there's someone up there they sure had my arse that day because both the bike and I were fine, other than a few scratches on the bar end, levers and alternator casing. Anyone that doesn't have crash sliders already I can't recommend them enough. Glad to see you were okay though man, and hope you're getting the bike sorted. First vid I've seen of yours but I'll subscribe and look forward to more👍
If it wasn't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all bud lol. Main thing is that your in one piece bike can always be repaided/replaced. Hope you have more time after your moving home to make more vids for us this year always enjoy your content. :)
I think we all tend to get complacent travelling the same roads everyday. Now you know you shouldn't. Looks like you binned it pretty well, in the sense you didn't get much damage. Stay shiny side up bro
That really sucks, hope everything worked out and is now sorted. Some of the country roads by me are terrible, tractors just cover the roads in mud and sludge all the time and its definitely not good for anyone on two wheels. I just tend to leave them roads alone completely now if I can, unless I know they are clear, but sometimes you have no choice.
Oh dude, sorry to hear that and to think I sent you an insta message asking where your mirrors had gone. I’m glad your ok and the damage wasn’t too bad. Have you considered bubble wrap?
Shoot mate, you've been hitting some rough patches lately! Just more war wounds for the Speedy! Keep up the pictures and videos when you can! Ride safe 👍
mark hill its a 2017 Speed Triple R bud. It’s a tough one, I loved my Daytona and debating finding another, but at the same time the Speed has bags of character and I couldn’t be happier with her with the mods and everything at the minute. I think I’d keep the Speed, more because it’s an underdog that’s overlooked a lot that can embarrass some big bikes with big rep
@@DaytonaDays it's a beauty looking bike but my problem is i don't like naked bikes (doesn't help my ocd 😂) so was just wondering if it was actually worth while upgrading to a 765
That’s so shit. Hopefully things get sorted. Maybe it’s time to get a winter hack or a car? I gave up commuting on my bike about 8 years ago and haven’t looked back.
Dubble D oh yeah...lol.... but easier to fix right? I've lost so many friends on bikes not everyone gets away with a lay down. But seriously glad you're ok.
It could have damaged the red ring, ha? Maybe, I said maybe, you could buy the oem again and she'll turn back into the most desirable Speed Triple on earth! Just kidding, mate. Ride safe and keep going!
Man not much look eh!! Did good keeping it quiet though on instagram haha. Come to the dark side and get a diavel, lower centre of gravity n longer wheel base
Not having the best of luck lately are ya? At least you're ok mate. The bike is replaceable, so don't be so down about it. Rather the bike than your bones.
Tony Pears nah it’s all good, got the new tank here already. Make sure you’ve got sliders on her though - would of been a £2k+ bill if not! Was yours parked near the entrance? Was having a look at it 👌🏼
What a shitter :/ All good though in the end, all fixable afterall :P Take the sticker off the chain guard and stick it on the battlescar on the tank ;)
What awful luck. At least you are ok. Did the insurers of the truck cough up as you said he cut the corner leaving you nowhere to go? Country roads around me are deadly now. There is one farmer that doesn't give a shit how much mud, shit and stones he lays on the roads as he brings his tractors out of his fields. It is really dangerous in the dry of summer let alone the cold and wet, with huge lumps of mud and stones in the middle of the road, lethal when it's wet. The police and local authority aren't interested in putting a stop to it, so I take it really cautiously and I am in my car!!! Won't ride in winter around here with all the pig ignorant farm types caking the roads with mud. In the dark you don't stand a chance. Not worth dying for so use the car instead. In summer it's pretty hairy too. Hit mud or a rock on a bend and you are an ex-biker. Hope you get your bike fixed. Nasty gash on the tank.
Gutted mate, that's an awesome bike. First of your vids I've seen, I will subscribe and check out some more.
Halfdead Rider what a vid to start on!😂 thanks dude

Owen Wishon thanks bud, hope you weren’t hurt - I agree about sliders - you don’t appreciate them until it’s too late!
That's why when I see a guy selling a bike with 30k miles and he says "never been dumped" I scratch my head and say "Sure, my ass"
Oh no! Glad you made it out in one piece. Stay safe out there!!! Keep riding! 👍
sorry for you mate. Hopefully there's nothing much to your bike and you'll get back on track "actually on the road" soon. cheers!
L. Åstand thanks bud
No hospital visit has got to be a good thing. Take care mate 👍
steve quinsee thanks pal
Very glad you're ok, mate
disekjoumoer thanks bud

gary walker thanks mate, more to come 💪🏼

MyRandomLife247 very true - yeah wasn’t bad at all, crash bungs saved it

Toxic Chillz yeah all sorted thanks mate, I agree - I’m off then roads in the winter from now on!
Don't blame you, it seems the councils and farmers really dont care about road safety too much anymore, probably all the budget cuts
Oh dude, sorry to hear that and to think I sent you an insta message asking where your mirrors had gone. I’m glad your ok and the damage wasn’t too bad. Have you considered bubble wrap?
Dougie I considered stabilisers 😂
Shoot mate, you've been hitting some rough patches lately! Just more war wounds for the Speedy! Keep up the pictures and videos when you can! Ride safe 👍
MotorMoonie thanks man
Alright buddy what exact model is that? And what would you rather have your old daytona or the bike you have at the moment?
mark hill its a 2017 Speed Triple R bud. It’s a tough one, I loved my Daytona and debating finding another, but at the same time the Speed has bags of character and I couldn’t be happier with her with the mods and everything at the minute. I think I’d keep the Speed, more because it’s an underdog that’s overlooked a lot that can embarrass some big bikes with big rep
@@DaytonaDays it's a beauty looking bike but my problem is i don't like naked bikes (doesn't help my ocd 😂) so was just wondering if it was actually worth while upgrading to a 765
mark hill well this is the Speed Triple so it’s a 1050cc not a 765cc 👍🏼
@@DaytonaDays ah my bad was wondering why you upgraded to a 765 when you loved your daytona so much
mark hill definitely wouldn’t trade a Daytona for a Street!
You poor bugger. That bike looks awesome, without the dent in the tank lol.
Mick T telling me 😂
Ahh I spotted your bike at Rykas and chatted with you, didn't know you had a youtube!
Adam Stone small world huh!
Well that's pissed on your bonfire! Could have been far worse, though! Hell, I've ridden far worse around for years! :D
nastyevilninja 😂😂😂😂
That’s so shit. Hopefully things get sorted.
Maybe it’s time to get a winter hack or a car? I gave up commuting on my bike about 8 years ago and haven’t looked back.
Jim 86 I’ve moved from that area now, so no more winter country roads - I have a car also dude 👌🏼
It's only metal...as long as you're ok! The rest doesn't matter. 😁
ARCHANGEL PHORLARK thanks man, I say the same to everyone else - but it’s more than metal! 😂😂😂
Dubble D oh yeah...lol.... but easier to fix right? I've lost so many friends on bikes not everyone gets away with a lay down. But seriously glad you're ok.
Glad to see you up and about.
Lawrence Feevey Jr thanks dude
It could have damaged the red ring, ha? Maybe, I said maybe, you could buy the oem again and she'll turn back into the most desirable Speed Triple on earth! Just kidding, mate. Ride safe and keep going!
Gutted for you bro!!! Hopefully you get your bike back to 💯asap

HamSpamJamLamb thanks dude

dennis prince cheers, yeah lucky it was a small off rather than a big one!
Not having the best of luck lately are ya? At least you're ok mate. The bike is replaceable, so don't be so down about it. Rather the bike than your bones.
Dan1ukDSJN she’s mint, everything’s been replaced since 👍🏼

Theo Roubos thanks bud ✌🏼 x
Was you up box hill last Sunday ? I'm sure I saw a bike up there with that same damage
At your not hurt tho buddy
Yeah I was mate 👌🏼
Dubble D unlucky buddy. I remember seeing and feeling sorry for who ever owned it. I have the 765R. Hope it’s not to expensive
Tony Pears nah it’s all good, got the new tank here already. Make sure you’ve got sliders on her though - would of been a £2k+ bill if not! Was yours parked near the entrance? Was having a look at it 👌🏼
Dubble D the entrance from the dual carriage way not the top entrance. Yeah your right it is my next purchase for her
Glad your OK buddy...
Psycho Paul cheers man
Is that the Triumph peep mirror?
Colin Deans yeah it’s off a Bobber
Cheers, looks good. Think I'll look into one for my Street Triple.

This is the dent I was talking about on IG
Triumphant.Subaru what dent? Can’t see a dent? 😂
Dubble D bro why you lyin 😂

Alex Morgan yeah, country roads in the winter or in the dark are now a no no!
Because of you I am contemplating getting a Speed Triple R. Looks a gorgeous bike.
Alex Morgan I should start getting commission! 😂✌🏼
