Was being a dick today for the first time in years (I do not want to go in to details), end result is, very sore and a very, very smashed bike.

Keep it careful guys and gals, no need for ACC stats and whatnot, let me being a wanker be a lesson. :facepalm: No need to have avoidable accidents/crashes. :shutup:

That is all, I shall get my coat.


Quick edit: As I am usually very careful I was wearing full gear (Always do). If I wasn't, there would be lots more pain.
Quasimoto 2 piece did uber well and I cannot cay enough about it.
Helmet didn't hit the road.
Ripped a seam on the new Teknic gloves, impressed with how well they did too.
Boots are fine, they've been through hell and back.

Still repairable and all that junk?

I was being a dick last week. Went to go for a right hander, looked for traffic, in the distance, and on the way towards me. All clear, started to look into the turn, and somehow a car was right in front of me. Panicked and grabbed a front load of the brake. Almost shit me pants to think what would have happened if I didn't see it. :gob:

I don't want to be a dick anymore...

ducatilover
4th August 2011, 20:27
Yeah, it does happen, but, these things can be so avoidable.
I'm hoping she's repairable, I have spare everything except forks and fairings, so I imagine I can build it up again.

Bloody hell Oblivion, that can't have been fun :gob:

Well, if you've learned something it's hardly a complete loss.

And it was probably a heck of a lot of fun right up until it suddenly wasn't...

Not my favourite lesson. The plan is to get me working again, then I will see if it's repairable (Of course it is...I have an almost complete spare bike)

I had decided I was out of practice with my clutch up wheelies. I got more and more cocky and then ended up riding upside down :facepalm: I had her up pretty high and had a throttle whoopsie, grabbed the clutch and stamped the rear brake. :yes:


I had forgotten to bleed my rear brake, it didn't work. :bye:

Lots of choice wheelies yesterday, now I'm broken as is the bike. Probably not worth it....would have looked awesome though and no-one else got endangered (I'm not that retarded :yes: )

I don't use it much and had just changed the rear rim and caliper, was a pretty big brain fart

Strretfighter/naked project methinks. I get the wreckage back on tuesday so will go from there.

Reckon install a wheelie engine-cut this time. Get a dirtbike for that sort of carry on. I think a lot of kwakas came out standard with them, they even went to the trouble of disguising them as loose wiring :shit: we can retrofit this technology :D

A little hand to slap me when I try wheelie will do :yes: I think we need to bolt both engines together though so I can clutch it up in 4th. It'd be wheely cool.

As I type she is talking to the rug munchers down the road to get some feed back.

Ah, I'm as mad as a hatter, nothing can change that.

Been trawling the net, nothing to do, to see what kind of avenue I want to go down rebuilding her.
I think a ZX6R (late 90's, early 00's) tail or ZX9 tail unit would be nice, instead of the big fat ugly ZZR one (I have a spare one in the shed, they really are gay looking.)
Would like a K5 Gixxer or Z750/1000 headlight set up. Or even better, a ZX6/9 top fairing, cut to look like it's meant to be there.

Or something.
