Hey guys.
Was just out for a wee run on the CG seeing as i've not had the chance the last couple of days.
Decided for some reason i wasn't wearing jeans and stuck on the textiles.
So i was coming through aberlady, and after the first sharp corner heading out, i came to the sharp right next to the beach and there was something on the road so i avoided it through the corner, then realised i wasn't turning enough. So i looked through the corner and leaned a bit more but it was all in vain...
I hit the curb with the front tyre, then the back tyre, then the centre stand and the bike went straight over on the side, and i flew onto the pavement and rolled onto the grass. Lucky me.
A cager stopped and a couple walking picked up my mirror, helped me up and pulled the bike up to the side of the road. They also said that i wasn't even going that fast through the corner 
Damage to me:
Skint elbow & knee
Sore wrist where i hit the ground
sore shoulder
Damage to bike:
Broken left mirror
cracked headlight
cracked mudguard
bent footpeg
scraped pillion grab handle
Bent Speedo unit
And a nice few scrapes on the indicators and clutch handle
Other than that it was fine and started first kick.
So off i went on my merry way with the mirror in my pocket.
And i would have taken pics... but i landed on my phone and broke it.

Just glad i didn't land on the road, couple cagers flew past not even slowing down
Yea the frame is fine, same with the forks.
Checked it all over at the side of the road to make sure nout was wrong with it.
And yea the brakes do suck, my emergency stop consists of sitting on the tank holding the front brake as hard as i can and pressing the back brake without making it lock up

After my off the other day nobody who saw it stopped, this was on a busy(ish) roundabout and people just drove past, even though they had to go completly out of the way to get passed my bike.
Top guy in a merc stopped about 30 seconds later and helped me pick the bike up and generaly checked me and my pillion were ok. Was an asian dude by the way, so that destroys two steriotypes.(evil merc drivers and nasty asian people)
Glad your ok anyway and the damage wasnt too bad, could have been alot worse by the sound of it.
Hope the bikes sorted soon

Cheers guys.
just lucky i landed on the grass 
Did manage to smash my phone and tear up my elbow when i landed but i suppose better that than any bones broken.
And i'll have a look at the bike tomorrow, if all is well i'll go back and see if i can find out why i managed to crash after going through so many times no problem.
Will get some pics too.

At least your okay m8.
Wasn't a speedbump in the road was it?
I thought you usually aimed for them and sped up at the same time |

You weren't practicing your 'drifting' by any chance.
My comments in that thread (less than a month ago) seem strangely prophetic now.
Think i'll change my username to 'misternostradamus'.
Seriously though, sounds like both you and the bike got off lightly, be thankful to the sweet baby jesus for that.

I'll do a filtering video with the camera on the bike sometime, and put it onto youtube. It's easy once you know how big a gap you can squeeze your bike through. I have found that most car mirrors are lower than my bars so i can get through easily.
I think a filtering rideout would be funny
meet in the centre of edinburgh just before rushour and race to see who can get to a certain bit by filtering through traffic.
Fun and games....
Anyways, yea.
Dont know if anyone fancies planning something sometime in the near future.
Next week would be good
Oyea, i've only been riding for 4 weeks as well.
