another R6 crash

[MaybeGuy]

2nd relatively major crash i've had on this thing i guess.

coming up to a nice sweeping left hander, my slider touches much sooner than i was expecting, and before i can think ''wtf'', i'm sliding down the road at about 100mph.

so i spin down the road, must have had my eyes closed, thinking ''when am i going to hit something?''. i stopped, picked myself up, picked the bike up, then suddenly realised it was a much worse crash than i thought, and i wouldnt be riding away from this.

meanwhile i'm looking at this whilst everyone who stopped is telling me how lucky i am to be alive, so im like ''i only lowsided, it could have been worse''.

until i saw this

according to the 2 randomers on gsxr750s behind me, i slid in front of the bike, and missed the sign by about 8 inches, then the bike smashfucks the shit out of it, and glances off to one side, stopping about 3 feet from the bumper of an oncoming car.

looking at the road, i see it's just been re-surfaced and is all gravelly. poor obs from me pretty much, but it was a good song so i was singing along.

so i gave it a good seat on the ride home.

so im left with a gay as fuck streetfighter back end.
it'll go again. i've already found a set of fairings and a tank for £41 delivered, so just need a subframe and LHS clipon hint hint

You said in the Op that its the 2nd serious crash you have had on that bike. Look on the bright side. you wont have any more on that bike.

Since you have managed to fall of the road twice and not get dead then I suggest buying an R1 and see how many times you can drop that without getting dead!

On a serious note tho. Glad the bike is fucked and not the rider rather than the rider fucked and not the bike. We can mourn the bike and laugh at the rider.

Teflon-Mike:I think I agree with just about all Pinky has said.

[MaybeGuy]

the bike will live again, dont you worry about that. it would involve fire and zombies and a massive crash where i break my pelvis or something to stop me rebuilding it.

Is it worth putting it back together? New bodywork, frame plus whatever else is fucked.

So it's a cut and shut ringer (definition is built out of at least two vehicles where the chassis No. doesn't match the log book), you couldn't sell it so you crashed it. Well done.
