Just as poor Fruit'n'Barley was starting to think his biking adventure was getting off to a dream start, it very soon turned into a nightmare.
A slow speed spill which occurred a few hundred yards from his house, which was caused by a momentary lapse in concentration, sent the bike into the kerb which then flipped the bike over before sliding across the road to slam into the other kerb. The damage from a slow speed crash like this was horrendous, the fairings were smashed, levers bent, but most upsetting was the engine. The alternator housing took the brunt of the kerb hit which in turn cracked the housing which in turn cracked the engine block.
There was nothing else for it, a new engine required plus replacement fairings but most importantly, rebuild F'n'B's shattered confidence, he was beside himself with rage and frustration but he would have to put this one down to experience.
Coming soon
Part 3, the rebuild starts.
