Fell off my stinking moped today Sad

Going round a island only a small one so i was doing 10mph and i hit some gravel Sad

Front slide from under me and i just scratched my left hand side fairings so badly. Also destroyed the mirror casing. Nothing wrong with the bike otherwise.. Only cosmetics. Scratched my knee a bit. Nothing major.

Certainly made me feel shit about riding Thumbs Down

Thought i would let you guys know.

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE.

Just be glad you didn't crack any panels Thumbs Up

I superglued mine Laughing

Scratches that are on it now are about a cm deep Sad

I've sanded the panels down anyway as the bike is getting sprayed... Not i have a few big gashes to fill in and sand down Sad

He probably means 1mm which isn't much really.

Front bit of my bike is quite thick. Maybe 1cm is to much but they are a fair bit deep. I will have another look and see if i can be more accurate.

wehay u got a sym jet.. my cuz has 1 of them they are really nice mopeds.. im stuck wit a fkn gilera stalker Smile

unlucky mate, i got a shit load of scratches on mine that i painted over, looks fine now.. and i broke both of my mirrors so just took them off until i can get replacements.. and i managed to break my arm in 2 places and have 3 operations aswell so u got lucky;)

dont worry about it, think of it like this: would you rather have come off a moped with shitty 60 pound tires when your inexperienced, or fell off a gixxer where new panels cost more than my laptop?

Smile

get riding soon
