Hey guys.

Yet again, i've had an off.

Coming round a corner and hit a fecking juice bottle, losing the back end and sliding down the road.

Damage to bike:

Fucked mirror.
Snapped the clutch lever clean off.
bent to feck handlebars
general scrapes.

Damage to me:
sprained wrist
ripped through the palm of my glove
scuffed jacket
hole in the trousers
a big cut on my knee Sad

and a few scratches here and there.

I'm surprised, more damage than the first off, and i was only going about 15mph this time.

Had to bump start the bitch and ride home in first gear without stopping.... Stalled once...

And the red is where the bars were, indicators and the bent clutch lever which i had to replace with the bent one from where the guy booted it off the stand.

Sorry to hear it, but to be honest, I can't quite work out how you didn't see it. It all looks pretty flat and clear, would have thought a bottle would have been pretty easily seen..?

Anyway, glad it's not any worse!

Could've been worse. You should get your front end checked out sometime, it's been abused a fair amount.
Only insight I can offer is: A)Your cg is cursed and B)You have quite hairy knees.
Hope the bike and you are fine matey. Thumbs Up

I came off my 125 at about 10-15 mph, and other than a sore arse me and my bike were spotless. Moral of the story: Put on fat on your arse. Eat some pies in buns.

Sorry to hear about the bad luck you're having with your bike there Sad

I've only had one off but my CG's injuries were fairly similar, a minor scrape on the end of the exhaust, bent foot rest bar, bar end & indicator was knackered.
Thankfully it's all fairly cheaply replaced (not exhaust obviously but it doesnt need it anyway). Long live the CG! You have to admit its one of the better bikes to crash, they seem to come away lightly!

Are your boot's swift mr2's? They like mine which are mr2's and mine did the exact thing when i had my off at the start of the year. Infact both of them are like that. Just thought it was strange how 2 set's of boots do that in 2 totally different incident

First off, glad it's not too serious. Thumbs Up

You have nothing to be ashamed about; at least you didn't write off a brand new NSR125 after two weeks of ownership.... Embarassed

I think I crashed that bike three times in three years, fucking up a very expensive plastic fantastic. With the CG you're getting all the shite bits about the early years of a biker done on a cheap hack, so props to you. It would be a lot more messy if you had fairings - trust me.

So yea, nothing to be ashamed about. Get back on it and try to learn from each of these experiences. Karma

Shit dude! You got all the luck, eh?

Thinking back to your GPZ or Hyosung thread - i retract my previous "man up and get the GPZ" comment. Stick with the CG for a while yet!!!
