Just when you thought I couldn't get any dumber

[Coyote]

Day and a half into looking after the banks new NC30, I drop it. Kept a bicycle chain around the front as I didn't want my pride and joy stolen by the dicks that took my helmet, forgot about it when I rode off and it got tangled up. Stripped some paint off the front wheel as well as the right side fairings being scratched up. Can't have nice things can I?

Also, it's in the shop getting a tick in the engine ridden of. Fate just making sure my parents were right about buying over the net and making me feel like an ass.


Why do I bloody bother, honestly?

By the way, Hitcha, I can still use my PM's when I get a quote notification. If you want to fully disconnect a sin binners ability to use the PM system I suggest you tick the quote note function to off.

Oi,life's not that bad.. right?!?

Wouldnt be worried about the scratched fairings and stuff! Who cares! Its a bike! If thats the only problem with it then sweet as!

But whats with this ticking noise?? Thats what could cost you the real money...

Don't stress - life isn't picking on you personally. We all screw up, we all do dumb shit, we all make mistakes, all day, every day. Go look in a panelbeaters or a wrecking yard and realise that EVERY day lots of people have accidents waaaay worse.

Chin up lad! Lifes a lesson worth learnin'

Cheers

Never mind mate we all have bad days........every bad days a day closer to a good one...........chin up.

Ah Shit Happens mate. It's a black bike, now it has 'street cred' scratches...you gotta have 'em!!!

Motor tick....how loud? it'll be fine...have you listened to the racebike I ran in that time with you and Glen??

You still have the sweetest looking, sweetest handling and sounding 400 out there....and yes, i'm still bloody jelous. That thing will be bloody great over Pikok hill :D

Nah mate dont stress! shit happens, life goes on......ticks in engines can be dealt with, and parents usually get over themselves......trust me on this cos I am one, and have had to get over some shit myself recently.......LOL

Perhaps that's because you're no longer in the sin bin and merely serving out your time on diminished priviledges.

Day and a half into looking after the banks new NC30, I drop it. Kept a bicycle chain around the front as I didn't want my pride and joy stolen by the dicks that took my helmet,Put the chain through the back wheel and over the seat. You won't miss it there.

I did it with a disc lock once, won't do it again.

Also; fine choice in motorcycle!!!!

[BigRed2007]

mate I hear ya, but you need to relax and let it go bro.

Try parking ur bike backwards, so u always have to take the chain off before you leave. I happened to roll the bike chain around my tire, lucky it got stuck and the bike was off

Lucky , bro just remember the joys of motorbike :)

[fishb8nz]

There is no part of your life free from embarrasing, self-actuated mistakes. Get used to it.
The only proviso is to only make that mistake once. Even then, you just have to rationalise.

dont worry about the ticking noise!
unless it dosnt go away with >5000RPM
its just the cam gears missing a tentioning spring(they brerak after about 40,000kms), to my knowledge most people who race them take the speings off anyway.

[Coyote]

It's because I'm getting along with a girl for once, so everything else is falling apart. On the way home from work I fell off the RG again (oil slick on the road, it was dark and I didn't catch a reflection off it)

I'm just ticked off as those fairings were in excellent condition and I had to hurt them so soon

I'll let you know what the click ends up being

Fair enough, I deserve it

Good idea, however the bike lock has been mashed up so I won't be using it again

I'll have to get a GSXR750 in the near future don't I?

The noise gets drowned out past 5000rpm but I'm pretty sure it's still there. I'll let the guys at the shop know that tomorrow unless they've already figured that out. That sounds cheap so hopefully that's the problem

Ooo, the RG has plenty of those and race numbers! However the huge plume of smoke rids itself of any cred

I don't remember how it sounded. Did that have a nasty tick?

I'm bloody jealous of your 600. I'm keen to swap if you want

it had a small tick that got worse and worse. was a camchain tensioner in the end so not going to be that on your bike :)

the 600's are up for sale now, I think. fortunatly, I don't have to worry about that :D

[The Pastor]

Dude what a noob lol. Don't worry the previous owner dropped my bike they day I bought it....... Should of been an omen or somthing lol.


Bikes break, only when your rich enough to fix them up real nice do the bad stuff stop happening.....

Check out the *most embarrassing* thread I started. You'll find that you are in good company and should feel better.

There's some seriously bad shit in that forum - literally if you read all!

[N4CR]

sounds like me being bikeless for about a month spending over 1k on a zxr250c paint job and other bits, month later getting that beautiful mint zxr250, then going and hitting the **** end of a car and spending another 600 bucks painting it back up again....
not to mention other stupid things i've done which make your story seem almost nice in comparison :) i'll talk to ya on msn bout it sometime :)

take it on the chin and realize that's about as bad as it'll get... every day will get better!

Thank goodness it was a low-speed "oopsie" and nothing more! Relax and take a breath before hopping on the bike. Do a "pre-start" checklist each time for the bike AND yourself. If it takes 30 seconds longer to get moving, this means chicks have 30 more seconds to look at you.:love:

Having bought over the net and now having a bike in the shop for considerable time... these things happen. It is just "life" throwing shit your way. It happens. It is how you deal with it that matters.

On the way home from work I fell off the RG again (oil slick on the road, it was dark and I didn't catch a reflection off it)
Excellent news!!! You prevented the VFR being in this situation and instead offered a lesser quality bike in its place!:Punk:

Haha, well as I said I was distracted and was kinda wishing to get away. Plus I was flustered from rushing back to class to get the helmet i left behind before the teacher disappeared into the staff room

My afterschool job is at a bike store and the boss is obviously annoyed by me buying off the net said I should get a mortgage out. More shit to come by the looks of things.

Indeed, although I think the VFR would've stayed upright since it has a better rear tyre. Hopefully get it back from the shop tomorrow

Oh dear. I was fortunate not to land on the exhaust

But it wasn't black :p

Which bike store are you working at Daniel? Not the Cycle Centre surely? Andrew wouldn't give a biker a hard time...

[Coyote]

Maidstone Motorcycles. My boss (Mac) was only joking around. Cost me 130 to get the valves shimmed which was very reasonable. It was made a bit cheaper since I did all the basic stuff like taking the fairings, tank and airbox off at work.

Still has the infernal ticking, but they said it shouldn't be serious. Ruins the brilliant V4 sound at low revs though, might have to ask RG100 if he's keen to open it up and see what's going on

[riffer]

Oh. Didn't see you in there the other day when I was getting a new tyre. Probably cause it was the middle of the day.

Mac's a good feller. Is he ever going to let anyone ride the Plastic Fantastic?
