FFS!!! I did it AGAIN!!! lol

[Boob Johnson]

Yep that's right two drops in 2 days & to make it fair I dropped it on the other side this time :weird:


7 of us hooked up for a ride this arvo, did a 100 odd Km's round the back roads here in Taranaki, was an excellent ride (not that ive never enjoyed any ride weit or :sunny:)


Pulled up at Zanzibar cafe for a nice meal etc, had a great time, excellent company and conversation.


Anyway, so all the bikes are lined up out front........right out front like in the bloody window. Same deal as yesterday, was on a hill but this time it was on my dodgy hip side.......


Yeah that was it, it was my dodgy hips fault :innocent:




*cough* bollocks :laugh:



So yeah there I am bout to pull out & just lost it off to the left (down hill). Crapped off onto my hip which hurt a little but nothing major.

Cant say the same for the damage to the bike, luckily only cosmetic, no broken clutch lever or anything else, slightly scratched up mirror (brand new 2 days ago).

The pic only shows the top half of the fairing as the light in the garage isn't so good with the bike leaning over.


Might trade my bike boots for some platforms I think so I cant touch the ground with out tippy toeing lol.


70's cloths are back in right? :innocent:

[nadroj]

Couldn't you hold on to the tow rope?

[Boob Johnson]

Couldn't you hold on to the tow rope?God I feel like such a horses ass lol

Im just a lil too short for my bike me thinks, doesn't seem to take much of a hill for me to not touch the ground.

[janno]

Lower bike seat perhaps? Plenty blokes get this done and end of problem. Get that bend in your knee and you'll be right.

Honestly B, I'm beginning to think I won't be taking you anywhere!!

You could at least provide me with a tshirt saying "He's not with me".

Perhaps your nick should be Manly Johnson and then you will mysteriously stop having all these ISSUES . . . :innocent:

[Colapop]

Let the tyres down and you should be able to reach the ground!!

[nadroj]

Short at both ends?

[xgnr]

Mate

FFS ... what is going on here?

Are you picking up all the bad stuff meant for others or what? Is this bike possessed? Do we have a burning at the ColdKiwi?

Take a deep breath and carry on :yes:

Cheers

And fitted two new mirrors on wednesday & a brand new screen today

[Katman]

Duuude, where's your self respect? You don't have to let us all know about it!:shutup:

If you upgrade to a gsxr you will have a slightly larger excuse book...

[Boob Johnson]

Duuude, where's your self respect? You don't have to let us all know about it!:shutup:lol its cool, I can dig it. If you can't laugh at yourself.........then your probably not looking in the mirror :bleh:

[ynot slow]

Try Reuhmers in Lepperton,saw a few seats done,also Dave at Normanby upholstery,Dobsons in Hawera,had a mate similar height to you and had difficulty touching ground,seat made with a sweep in it for rider and std height at back.:yes:

Doesn't seem to take much of a gradient for me to loose footing.

Right im off to the bottle o (in the car :innocent:) to get some beers in :violin:

[Colapop]

And I assume you've already adjusted the forks and rear...? Serious this time.

[iwilde]

Do you want my daughters trainer wheels when she's finnished with them?

[janno]

Well, I know of a great guy in Brisbane who can custom shape your seat for you . . .

it's a very common mod and it sounds like it'll make the world of difference to you. Normanby's nice and close. There ya go!

[ynot slow]

Yes but guess what?

There will be a few stops on way and he might forget to put trainer wheels/landing gear down,plus the two roundabouts in Stratford.

[Colapop]

They got round-abouts in Stratford now??!!? WOW it's almost like a real town!

[bull]

Out of curiosity Boob Johnson, how tall are you?

[riffer]

Exactly. Everyone knows you have to be at least 5 foot 10 and 100 kgs to be able to handle the mighty RF900...

What more can I say...


stop dropping the bike ya flamin' muppet!!!!














I fell better now. :mellow: I think.

[McJim]

Okay,

So you've scratched the right and you've scratched the left....all you need to do is scratch the nose and scratch the arse and you can claim it's designed that way "Look, the scratched theme is continued all round.":rofl:

[Goblin]

Ya might wanna check the steering head bearings.:shit:

[gijoe1313]

izzat why you're called boob_johnson? :whistle:

Actually there was this one time...

When I was learning how to ride with the legendary The_Dover ... and he went off ahead... and I got target fixation (2nd day of riding as a newbie noob), rode off the road between a hedge and a power pole.

I then plopped off onto one side into a soft muddy patch. So no matter what you've done, I think I've got a story that can resonate with you. But I think that ninja kamikaze duck is going to take some beating (if only I could've gotten my hands on it to give it one!)

Chin up, you got cred all over your bike without having to do drastic things like riding it! :o :msn-wink:

[Kittyhawk]

Ya need something like this.....

Or for the extreme - scooter with roll cage and training wheels :innocent:

You know you luv me :love:

[Matt_TG]

... must ... not .... giggle .....

[Kittyhawk]

Ok on a serious note, Me and my gsxr, I can only tip toe with her. Technicially I should lower it but for me it'll affect the riding style of the bike.

I've always grown up with bikes taller than me and I guess I've developed a style on how to hold them.

In saying that if you leave it parked on grass and it rains, the day you get it, youre in big trouble! :shutup:

[skidMark]

nonono kittyhawk

this is what he needs...

even matches the bike...

[Kittyhawk]

So thats where my other boot went! you tart!

No something more manly.....like this....

There's a thought, the soles of my boots are wearing thin, maybe I should look at adding a couple of inches of boot to it.

I know when I ride in my knee highs, I can touch the ground flat footed with bent knees. And it does make moving the bike alot easier.

[skidMark]

at the end of the day i think theres only one solution.....

[Kittyhawk]

And I assume you've already adjusted the forks and rear...? Serious this time.Na only had it a week & have no idea about all that hullaballoo :innocent:


This is my first BIG bike :scooter:


But will be seriously looking into all my options re lowering it to suit me better.



Do you want my daughters trainer wheels when she's finnished with them?Na but a bone graft to extend my height would be handy, she's young and will grow them back so im sure she can spare some :laugh:

Now when ya take it for a spin I wont be bothered if you crap off it either lol



at the end of the day i think theres only one solution.....Oh THAT'S a low blow man lol





Mark - #$^%&%#^*#%^&@^%#!$%Yeah u tell him KH :girlfight:

[Kittyhawk]

I couldnt find the right swear word so I mashed the pad instead!

[Mekk]

Leave that poor damn bike alone!

Or strip the fairings, fighter it and add to its character. Then again at the rate you're going, you could just keep dropping it and you'd eventually punch through them for that look. :rofl:

[Boob Johnson]

at the rate you're going, you could just keep dropping it and it wont matterlol funny u say that I was thinkin JUST that. Now they are scuffed up a bit it really doesn't matter to much :innocent:

[skidMark]

get lowering links for the rear shock :S

[Boob Johnson]

Love the look of this lowered RF900 (the polished rims certainly help too)

[Boob Johnson]

First thing here is good on ya for telling us ya dropped it TWICE,most of us wouldn't do that,for fear of the crap ya get,I haven't done it yet to the gsx,but nearly have,i.e holding bike up to check oil level in glass.

Man gotta ask though,shit it's 3.13am and your still up,even the goodnight kiwi would've been in bed years ago lol.:shit:

[Bass]

Have you checked the suspension settings?

If not, it is possible that the previous owner has wound up the preload at both ends and so the bike is taller than it needs to be or even should be for best handling.

You obviously need the Eliminator... http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=55115

Thems the ones I was thinking of! I've heard great things about their work.

You and I should go for an expedition, Boob.

Oh, and when I dropped my first big bike three or four times in the first month, my inlaws gave me a set of tot's training wheels . . . I felt like putting the damn things on, I can tell you!

[avgas]

Let the tyres down and you should be able to reach the ground!!
Ha classic - would rep ya but cant

[more_fasterer]

Isn't this the ritual of new bike ownership? Drop it on both sides to personalise it? She's yours now and no-one elses! May the:love: affair continue :D

You can send just your seat to McDonalds and they will do the seat and send it back to you. Only took 3 days when I had mine done. They use a better quality foam than standard bike seats have, so even though they chop some out it is usually more comfortable. They will also make it slimmer if needed. Ring them and have a chat about what you need.
