Fell off yesterday.....

[cc123]

....at about 3 mph!!

Was out clowning around yesterday as it was dry and got lost on route. Decided to U turn in a tight residential street. As I was going round I hit a small lump of tarmac which caused the front wheel to slide away from me.

Dunno why but I thought it would be a good idea to hit the kill switch then dive UNDER the bike. All 180+ kg on top on me. I somehow managed to wriggle free then lift the bike up much to the amusement of some local kids!

Felt like a right twat! Managed to save the bike though. Only a small mark on the fairing and a tiny, tiny scuff on the exhaust. Both polished out.

Hopefully thats my only fall of the year, better get those crash bungs fitted soon.

[instigator]

Yeah, I agree.....if theres no damage done then......" "

Don't you hate the little shites that laugh at you when you make a mistake though.

[killa]

Yeah embaressing but remember you have a got a helmet on.
You know that funny tarmac they use in car parks, well I was in Sainsbury’s last year on a TS125.
I was doing 4-5mph in the drizzle.
Came round a corner and put on a little power, straight into a speedway style sideways turn (looked cool)_ but then bang! Onto the floor, look forward to see two young ladys on the path, they looked at me, giggled and walked away.
FFS.

Have you not got an incredibly sore arse now?

I'm pissing myself at the images of some bloke in leathers diving underneath a falling bike.

ha ha that's so funny mate!

Mr Cool, eh?

at least no1 was looking when i did mine!

jump under the bike, ha ha. SUPERMAN!!!

[cc123]

I tell you though, my elbow is really starting to sting now. Feels like I've thrown something the wrong way and my arm has locked out.

Still, rather that than a new fairing panel....

true, true


although a bit of celotape and superglue and me plastic fairing is as good as new, har har.

[HurtMePlease]

There is such a thing as loving your bike too much!

actually i really do understand and would probably do the same for my r6 8)

I think it's more than love, probably worshiping it!

Oh and also, I didn't fancy the cost of replacing a fairing panel and some other bits!

Crash scars on your bike are cool. The latest rage.

[cc123]

I wouldn't call them scares, more graze's! Glad nothing cracked though.

i could never love my bike too much, apart from actually humping the thing. you gotta treat them right. we got off to a rough start though. ive had this bike for ages. when i first got it, twas my first geared bike. we was just poodling along etc, and somehow i pop it into 1st, wearing the tightest jeans ever. so there was little protection between my precious, and my precious, if you know what i mean. ended up crawling on the floor in a well built up area with a bike lying on me leg. didnt half hurt though
