Ouch! I'm really pleased you weren't hurt badly [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif[/img]

If I had been called out to you, with your lid that badly damaged, I would have strapped you to a spinal board and given you a trip in my blue light taxi. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/attention.gif[/img]

Thats is the only prob with some of those flip front lids is that they are not as strong as normal full face and a knock can open them as your's did [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img]

Wots the rest of your lid like??

Glad you didn't get any gravel rash on your face [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

But very clever of you to make TRiXy end up on her stand [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clapping.gif[/img] I've never managed that in any of my chucking it up the road sessions [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yeahyeahyeah.gif[/img]

Best I've managed is stood up on back wheel with against a tree [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yahoo.gif[/img]

by the time i had run back he was up & about and had removed the lid, so i didnt see it until near the end [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif[/img]
i did a few checks (i'm FAW,FPOS trained), made sure he could breathe, see straight, move around without crying in pain etc and then went to sort trixy
i must admit if i had seen the state of the lid straight away i wouldnt have let him get up, it would have been ambulance jobbie [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cuckoo.gif[/img]

when i binned my last caberg justissimo i destruction tested the flip up by stamping on it [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/badgrock.gif[/img]
the top of the lid smashed before the flip front came loose [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif[/img]

It was a Takachi TK-85N, not the best on the market I know - but did it's job. I have ordered a Caberg Justissimo GT lid today as my replacement.

I was very lucky to not need any emergency help in that way, don't know how I avoided needing any but very glad that I didn't need any.

The rest of my lid has just got grass staines, mud and scratches all over it - so if anyone needs a open-face lid, I know have one up for grabs [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
Well what can I say, I obviously know how to handle a bike enough to get her to end up on her side stand [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] that or beginners luck!!

Trouble is he only polishes half in an vain attempt to shame people in to cleaning the other side. What he hasn't yet realised though is that every time Tony goes round there he parks facing the other way from the last time [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

I see the 'off' was at the top of Ballingdon Hill, that catches quite a few out over a year, brick or no brick. Still, glad your all ok.
