My first fall.....oh joy.

[Reppyboyo]

Hi,

Had my very first off today, rather annoying.

Coming into work and just about to park, apply the front brake and it locks on a small patch of snow.
Cue screech, "i can save it....i can.......no i cant" and putting the bike down
Only damage is the left indicator is broken, and the bar holding it on is ever so slightly bent, very easy re-bend.

Bah, over a years rideing without a hiccup, and the snow finally claims me

[woo]

See thats what happens when you dont ride an R1 in the snow!

Get one and include me in your will!

Correction, '98 R1. All other R1's are inferior in the way of the snow.

i remember seeing pics on here where someone had fitted a gsxr or a haybusa with studs in the tyres, and was riding it around a field in snow

[woo]

My bad, Get a 98 R1, it is used in Sweden & Norway to clear snow off the roads because its presence alone performs miracles!

Atleast you're ok!

In my local area, the council have been riding round on 98 R1s, as they sheer power from the exhausts clears the roads of snow.
