And im down :(

[Groove]

And all of 2 meters away from my house

Just coming up to my house, pulled on front brake lever rather hard (i had been practicing stoppies about half hour earlier, got rather good at them!) and the front jus caved in and down i went.

Damage to the bike:

Few scratches, though i maybe lucky with some tcut on a few of them!
Bent rear brake lever, will have to try n bend it back!
Broken indicator, again. Bloody things.

Damage to me:

Leg and ankle hurts. But then it would with the bike landing on them Nothing broken though

My own fault, should of known not to do it. Though i would have thought my tyres be warm enough, i fucking hate these tyres and kinda expected to have on off on them!! Was gettin them changed at the end of the month...

Was also boasting about not coming off this bike to car mates when practicing wheelies/stoppies earlier.

Depending if its worth it, pictures twomorrow.

Fucks sake

Being an idiot and cold tyres aren't excuses. The second being a synonym for the first.

Read this on Essexbikers first. Unlucky Groove, sounds like the damage wasn't too bad though.

name and shame the tyres!

my guess is that they are dunlops?

[Groove]

Yes they are indeed!

I got them for free, as i couldnt afford to buy any!

They are Dunlop 218's!!

sorry for dragging up an old topic.....but i love being right!!!

maybe we should start a petition to the government to ban dunlops from this country!!

Had a similar issue. Pulled up outsie the garage, got off, opened door, started bike up and it lurched off the sidestand and down onto the floor. . luckilly the standswitch cut the engine (only moved due to the cold oil I think) before the stand could come up and set the bike riding off sans myself into the junk filled garage.. .

Oh well.
