I hope the rear wheel is OK :-/

I'm sure it had a peg there before! You can't see but the hanger is badly cracked.
Image

Made quite a mess!
Image

Think this was made by a knee
Image

That subframe doesn't look quite right, especially when compared to a straight one!
Image

Oh yeah and this is the damage I did :-/

that collar bone looks like what i did, unfortunatley i have to say i did mine on a mini-moto, but have to say i was flat out (35mph) and the back end lost grip i would say it was a high side but doesn't sound right!!!!, the ass holes at the hospital wouldn't operate to put back, should have pushed cos causes i have loads of problem now

any way looks like you have lots of work to do with the bikes

good look

On the plus side after replacing the kill switch and reconnecting the tank she fired up (eventually). Took quite a while for the oil light to go out and there was a fair bit of blue smoke for a bit but not that surprised at that.

druid: Hope you recover quick and sort your bikes mate.
DM: I'm amazed/impressed how he escaped that highside (not thrown on the ground over the bike)
I take it a bit easy on the track. I don't have money to spend fixing things.

I got an nc30 subframe for sale if you need, its good condition but one of the lugs holding the zorst hangar has sheered off half way down, still located the hangar and the other one secures it so works 100% tho

To be honest he ddnt get away with a well as i first thought, the doc's told him he made a massive mess of his wrist, not just broke but shattered bones all over the place. he's just had the cast off and its not a pretty site, last i see of him he was searching ebay for quickshifters :lol:

Druid, i got a spare 35 race seat unit you can have cheap i you need one

DM: hope he recovers quick. its still lightly compared to some highsides. a guy from a local forum in SA highsided his R6 and was in a coma for 4.5 weeks and rehab etc etc. it looks like if you're risking a highside its best to get your outer leg clear incase you do...
the killer of the highside is the twisting slamming action the bike does when the rear wheel grips again.

Cheers spike, I've got a spare NC35 subframe though, it's the one at the back of these two, the bent one is the one at the front...

Cheers Drunkn Munky but managed to pick one up cheap off ebay, need to cut out the seat area and tail lights which I'm not up to atm though. :-/

Main things actually _need_ are a straight front subframe, H brace and a clock back.
