Grrr!

This morning went to leave a mates place, bike had been outside overnight. Was absolutely freezing and the thing just wouldn't start, wheeled it over closer to my mates house expected to need a ride to my place. Go inside, come back out, bike isn't in the best of spots but its stable on the stand, decide to fire it up again, after a struggle it works... turn to my friend... feel a massive tug on my leg and over goes the bike, off it's stand... stand caught my jeans and gave a right rip up the leg...

I'm SO f**king gutted :angry: If there's one thing i've been careful about it's parking and making sure it's stable... to the point of being obessive about it. Broke the mirror which is no biggie I need better ones anyway, but I think it may have bent the handle bar a little bit. It fell onto mud (was a bitch to get out) but i'm not so sure if i'm just seeing the handlebar as a little bit bent (it's very slight if so) or if it actually is so...

Was so gutted I didn't even bother checking anything else before riding it home...

:angry: :angry:

Bugger man, hope the damage is cheap

Landing on mud is better than concrete. Still sucks though, good luck fixing it up.

After I had got my old bikes fairings fixed up after crashing it, I rather stupidly parked it on a hill. The weight of the bike pushed itself over the stand and I came back to the bike on it's side with my nice restored fairings scratched up again :pinch:

Bugger.
Hate to tell you but that doesnt count as your first "off" :no:

[gijoe1313]

Bugger - yesh, doncha hate it when think you do everything right and you still end up doing things like that? Lets hope its all minor stuff and you ain't too put out of pocket fixing up the little things...better yet, nothings wrong and only needs a clean!

Ah well, happens to the best of us! :innocent: Thanks for sharing that moment !

So ya weren't being careful enough, that'll teach you. Nah man bugger to hear but at least it had a soft landing. Though thinking about it, how hard was the mud to bend a handlebar? :gob:

[toymachine]

Had Maverick and Fub@r over here just before, they noticed that it's actually slid the handlebar across (which would have been why it appeared slightly bent to me) so i'll get that sorted at a bike shop, and hopefully no other problems show up.

Got a set of Emgo mirrors from Mt Eden for my Bandit after braking one, worked better than the Suzuki ones too!
