Just came off my bike :(

[Ste]

Heyo,

Just riding home from practising U turns, and in a single track country lane, about 25mph ish, very very slight left turn, front goes out from under me

Im going to go back in the morning and see what it is on the road there

Damage to bike: Indicators right side, both fecked
Right front fairing, upper and lower scuffed
number plate bit needs putting back on

Im ok, was wearing my new leathers. helmet didnt touch the ground which is good

Well, im off to replace the indicators. Will have some photos later.

And im fine

[Robby]

as long as your bikes fine for your test. give it a ride to make sure the forks are straight.

well my clutch cable went today so i rode most of the way home (10 miles) in second. at 30. then i had to stop at a junction and i never got it started, after a lot of kicking my mum turned up to tow it home.

never try and tow a bike behind a car, it was only a mile but it was scarier than going on the back if zimms bike.

sorry to hear that stephen, i have a right indicator that isnt broken completely i think if you want it.....not a clue if it works tho. dont want to risk turning it on incase it explodes. i suggest that you go and get some oil tip it on the road take a picture and then ring the police and get em to come and clean it up, that way you have an incident number and perhaps can get some money. ask keith if you can

Well, i have put my old brick indicators back on for the moment. The work fine, and they dont blip faster as i rev. The exhaust you can barely notice is scuffed, and i will touch up the paint with a paint pen.

The road i went back to look at with my dad. looking at it, I lost traction on mud/leaves in the centre, and then slid to the left, into a rut made by a tractor/ lorry/ car, and then the front came out of that, and then just dropped to the right. the bike then dropped, slid about 25 feet, and came to a halt

I cant be bothered about putting oil on the road etc etc. im just going to put it down to experience. My knee is aching, and my back in twinging every so often when i bend it

[Phoenix]

If it was a country lane, it was probably mud or gravel, how'd it fall to the right on a left turn?

nevermind that ^^ , you answered it had post open too long...

[Kris]

Unlucky Stephen Best put it down to experience.....you're not a biker 'til you've decked it

oh, and Craig.....too true mate
/me prays

[Ste]

someone said the first time I was at box hill, that if you make it 3 months you are a good rider, i was 4 days off that lol, oh well.
/me prods stupid body for hurting. stupid knee

[bikes4life]

unlucky stephen .

craig you are spot on, infact it was nearly me two nights ago, i was coming home from playing snooker wit my mate on the back of the moped. i went to turn right at the traffic lights and my front wheel was going from underneath me, luckily i wasnt going too fast and got my foot down and held the bike up.....looked at the road the next day on the way to college, they had been doing road works on the other side of the road and there was gravel all over the road & because it was dark and raining i couldnt see the gravel!

[Anthony]

If it is 3 months without a crash i must be shit as i only lasted 2 hours, oh well s**t happens

[Anthony]

Although saying that i bet enough good riders have had some kind of accident (minor or major) soon after passing, it really is just down to luck and being at a place at the wrong time.

[Ste]

Im putting this one down to back luck/ experience. I have done that road in the day light and dry at about 70ish Its straight, and can see stuff coming. Its a nicer road in the dry!! But i was doing about 25mph in the wet/ dark and came off. Having had this crash, I will much more careful aout staying in a wheel track in the wet. learn from everyones mistakes! Dont wait for it to happen to you

Indicators fixed. Number plate fixed. Just need a paint pen to fix the fairing up a bit

[JimboJ]

yeah thats what i need for my bike to be fully fixed.....a paint pen for the fairings!!!

Actually mate, I think you'd be better off getting a bike for the paint pen

[TiN]

lol, saying that stephen i managed to come of mine at 2 mph on wet leaves round the back of college. so it wasnt to bad no one saw me,
bike wouldnt start for a good 15 mins though. hmm strange.

I alaways seem to come off at speeds between 2mph and 5mph, once i'm past there i'm fine.. lol.

No damage to the bike, not even scuffs. it pretty much landed on the leaves... so a bit of luck as it where.
the first thing i checked though was the mini indicators i put on a few days before and thought as i was picking it up.
this is gonna be sods law, and the damn indicator is gonna be broke...

and hurray it wasnt!!

Grrr damn my low speed crashes, thats 2 i've had now. lol

yeah, damage isnt too bad. Remind me never to ride in shorts! I was going about 20mph, and scuffs on leathers etc. wouldnt want that to be my knee

For repainting it, I would need to sand it down, and a small area around it, undercoat of grey, and then the actual black, maybe a second or third of black, and then laquer over the top? Im just going to do this for the two large black areas, and tocuh the silver up with a paint pen. Will this work?

[Newbie2]

Bad luck mate we are dropping like flys

[tanner18]

sorry to here about your crash. nice to here u got ure bike sorted.bit of a bastard scuffin ure leathers though.at least ure bike still works
