Feeling real sorry for you guys bining it

[dhunt]

Hey Stonechucker,

I was feeling sorry for you today, too sorry, I think, and decided to see what it feels like to go down the road. Too much front brake at the lights on white paint and over we go. :Oops:

Fortunately not too much damage to the bike, front indicators gone (That why they are called indicators). Little bit of paint off the main fairing and one extra crack.

The funnest part about it was I was actually on my way to get some paint to paint a bit of my fairing :doh:

Only damage to me was my pride and hopefully only a twisted ankle (ITS NOT BROKEN), I broke it in my last bin.

I'm sorry you joined the club!

Hope there's minimal damage to you and the bike.:blank:

[Blakamin]

Holy Sh)*, it's an epidemic!... hope you and the bike get better!

[aff-man]

Sorry to hear about the slight mishap luckily not to much damage to you or the bike aye :niceone:

There - do you feel better, now that you've been chastised?

Glad to hear you're OK. Ish.


(OK Bike Gods - have your wanky selves been appeased enough yet?)

[2_SL0]

Im good to go I got vaccinated (PLz F5 check my spelling). The vaccine was Anti Bin Serum. Go to your local bike shop and rquest it ASAP.


Cautious Note.
Vaccination leaves a feeling of industructable young 16 yr hoon effect that will last for 2-3 days.

Im good to go I got vaccinated (PLz F5 check my spelling). The vaccine was Anti Bin Serum. Go to your local bike shop and rquest it ASAP.They sell it in 4 litre containers with "5100" written on the front.
Also available as an enema, for those skeeerd of needles....

Bloody hell! What the heck is going on? This can't be normal binnage.

Have we had a dry season in the last few months?

Has everybody's good luck run out at once?

I think we need to sacrifice a biker virgin to satisfy the biker gods. Is there anyone left who hasn't been down the road? :spudwhat:

Where the hell are we going to find a virgin ?? :laugh:

[Mr Skid]

Where the hell are we going to find a virgin ?? :laugh:

Does anyone have the address of Sk8rBoi's garade?

I don't know if they'd have to be a virgin in the carnal sense, rather someone who has never kissed tarmac.

[enigma51]

What the f#$$K is going at the moment Everybody is falling off. Not serious come offs but enough to get upset about. I dropped it about 2 to 3 weeks ago same story slowed for the red light pull the front brake and before I knew what was going on I was kissing tarmac

maybe wkid one was right





naahhhhhhhh he was WRONG, shit happens, this stuff happens, you drive/ride vehicles you are going to have little accidents, its part of vehicles. deal with it, This time of year starting to warm up, mor epeople start getting bikes out or start riding a bit more, little rusty, or maybe cause its warmer push that little bit harder, and thats were run in problems might be wrong that just my 2cents

[duckman]

No no it's a conspirisy (sp) :whocares:

It's the LTSA dropping slippery desil al over the road to increase accidents and make it look like they are still needed to find a way to stop us from hurting ourselves!!! :eek:

[2_SL0]

What happins if you dont believe in the biker god. Are you cursed to bin forever.

[White trash]

OH FFS!

That's it. I'm giving up riding. You pricks are just too dangerous.

Over and out. :finger:

i pray to the mighty banana and it protects me from harm and bins

[Motoracer]

I have been thinking about it and I want to give up too. This bike nonsence is just getting a bit too much for me.

Hopefully it all heals fast - glad you're ok.

Bastids.
But of course, they're all just pawns of the You Know Who.

[QUOTE=Zed]I'm sorry you joined the club!

Possible record for bike dropping in a single day...

DROP ONE
Fuckers at mobile alarm specialists strike again. Go to remote start bike sunday morning, only to see it jump foward in gear (no, it's not supposed to be able to start in gear :mad: ) and fall over! Dented exhaust. LHS.

DROP TWO
Low side on big ass roundabout in Ham's, full leathers and riding gear so no damage to me, small scratch on exhaust. RHS. Never let go of bike, just stood up, shook head, started bike and rode off. The cause... silicone on tyres... Dont ask! :mad:

DROP THREE
At home scrubbing up tyres with wire brush/sandpaper to remove offending silicone. Bike leans too far upright... struggling to hold the heavy beartch up... to no avail... over she topples... no damage :brick:

That is a bad day for any biker!!!

Mate when you do that I think you've pushed your luck for the day. I think it best to go home an :crybaby:

[riffer]

There's definitely something in the air at the moment.

Coming out of Aitken Street on to Molesworth on the way home, the bike decided to go completely sideways on me.

I remembered the golden rule "Never let go of the throttle", stuck my leg out and did a lovely motocross slide for about 50 metres up Molesworth St. Just got it under control in time to slam on the brakes for some clown doing a SMIDSY and pulling in front of me to go down the lane on the side of the old Thorndon tavern. Aaargh. Cold tyres and just wet roads - not a good mix. Still, didn't fall off... <_<

I feel for all you guys.

I would mention that I only ever crash bikes in June, but THEY might be listening, so I'll say it real quietly.

The weather around Welly lately has been dry/wet/cold/dry/wet/warm and it's making the roads really iffy.

Let's be careful out there people...

[Two Smoker]

Woohoo everyone is joining my club :banana: :yes: I think i have the highest rate of bins..... 6 Bins in 9 months..... Who has beaten that????

[NC]

I don't like binning, I'm a crier :(

[Hooks]

Bloody hell .... Dave I'm glad to hear you're OK .... I think you've done enough to yourself for the year huh ?? ... A hint ... maybe try some engine braking in the wet .... it keeps the bike stable as it slows and will require minimal braking up front !! ...

Wkid may have been onto something after all .... maybe we should all take up walking ..... :laugh:

Nah fuck it !! <_< Life is all about beating the odds ... so by being out on a bike and enjoying life you are adding a random element that should counter-act the bad shit that may happen !! ... That's my theory and I'm sticking to it !! :2guns:

bring on the long ones !! it's all about living life ..... :spudbooge

[riffer]

adding a random element that should counter-act the bad shit that may happen !!
You don't counter-act - you counter-steer around the bad shit ... <_<

[Hooks]

You don't counter-act - you counter-steer around the bad shit ... <_<


Yeah well said !! Point taken ..... Hey Si how goes the music ??.....and the scotch !!... and I'm glad to hear yours was just a near miss !!
I had a good one this morning .. in the super market car park ... an idiot in a 4WD hit my trolley while it was sitting behind the Falcon !! Bread and toilet paper everywhere !! Good thing it wasn't one of the kids!!

[Storm]

You gotta stay keen Dave, or else who will I ride with? You didnt even leave a mark at the intersection, I checked! Dont go to the dark side - at least you can bail from a bike- what if you are in a plane at 30'000 ft ? :wacko:

[dhunt]

Yeah, I was probably only doing about 10km/h when I actual came off. I had actually slowed quite a bit before the intersection so I'm not sure if was just really slippery paint or what :thud: Normally rely on Engine braking quite a bit so could have just been my bad day. Hopefully the foot ant broken I haven't been out of plaster that long. 2 bins in 5 months :brick: Might have to go see a doctor :doctor: tomorrow if it is still quite saw.

[dhunt]

what if you are in a plane at 30'000 ft ? :wacko:You can still bail from a plane just it hurts more when you land. Most people like to use parchutes from that sort of heights.

dam i rode my ZX10R home in the rain and did
not stack it,? am i being out of order
the last time a had a big off in town was on a
dropped news paper
only thing that sufferd to day was my cell PH
(replaced with a siemens M65)
:disapint:

[jrandom]

Yeah, particularly if you ain't got your new front wheel yet. Hurry up and shatter it in spectacular style. We're bored.

Firstly this was a little off (ie the bike was stil rideable). Secondly I had made it home and was off again to get some paint to paint part of my bike but instead went to the bike shop and ordered a new indicator and taped my old one back together (Yes it does work, has a new bulb though, and you can see it fine)

[Zed]

...Hurry up and shatter it in spectacular style. We're bored.
...or just share about your infringements! Hearing about those has also been known to relieve some of the KB boredom, eh JR. :bleh:

Never as exciting as a good old fork-twisting fairing-shattering bone-crunching bin story though :whistle:

Oh I don't know? The One's little tale certainly stirred a few around here...and if you had done a runner on the FXR then I'm sure your "prepared to kill" thread would have doubled in posts! :stupid:

[jrandom]

I don't think so. Mostly because everyone would have been preoccupied with being doubled over howling with laughter at the idea of attempting such a thing.

[Slim]

OH FFS!

That's it. I'm giving up riding. You pricks are just too dangerous.

Over and out. :finger:
My thoughts exactly!


I'm not touching my bike until at least February next year, and only once it's been fine for at least 4 weeks in a row. :msn-wink:

Sorry to hear your news Dave. Let us know how the ankle goes.

.

[StoneChucker]

Bloody hell guys, I spend one day in bed and I miss what seems like a week's happenings!

decided to see what it feels like to go down the road
You could have just asked Dave, I'd have said not so good...

Holy Sh)*, it's an epidemic & please quarantine yourselves
I've hired a warehouse for 3 months, so from Friday night, we're boarding ourselves up in there. Tickets available at the door.

the LTSA dropping slippery desil al over the road
Hell yeah, I'm convinced that I hit something like that. There's no way you loose traction at the speed/angle I was doing :mad: :mad: :mad:

did a lovely motocross slide for about 50 metres
That scares me, only because there's no way I'd be able to MotoX slide 5cm's, so I'd prob bin. When I finally get back on my bike, I's sure gonna take it easy for a while billy bob. I's not going to be kissing my purdy sister (tarmac) anytime soon as long as I can help it!

what if you are in a plane at 30'000 ft
From experience (not in practice mind you), you glide down, and make a forced landing. That is assuming you can glide...

Does anyone know if the biker gods have any mercy? Surely I'll be safe for the next 18 months, now that I've appeased them? Ok, now lets all close our eyes, and say grease, I mean grace :wacko:

[StoneChucker]

Get well soon, Dave, and eveyone else recovering from filthy tarmac relations

[dhunt]

Get well soon, Dave, and eveyone else recovering from filthy tarmac relations
Thanks Mate, Only did the ankle in but its still saw so I might go see a doctor later on today if it doesn't start feeling better :argh:

[dhunt]

Well the bikes all back together. I glued up the crack in the fairing which isn't too bad. Indicator will stay taped up until the new one arrives. While I had the fairing off I noticed that battery mount (goes underneather battery) was looking a bit rusty so I'll have to get that welded up before it snaps.

Didn't end up going to see the doctor as foot is feeling a bit better so think it is just sprained.

Yesturday I was having a think about my bin and was wondering what I had done defferent different than usual and realised I had put an extra 8 psi (25->33) in the front tyre on the weekend. So I recon that's what made me bin it, well that's my excuse anyway.

[Hooks]

Hey Dave ... Glad to hear the ankle is feeling better .... I'm not too convinced that the tyre pressure was to blame !! but I thought I would mention that I have a mirror arriving from Japan on Monday for my old bitch ... so we'll have to get out again and I can have a go at throwing the other one at ya !! ..... :whistle:

Yeah I'm not 100% sure about the tyre pressure either, probably just human error. Look forward to going riding with ya, I'll try remember to bring my shield. :msn-wink:

I just think you North Islanders can't ride ........... :msn-wink:

Hey Gav, I can't help it ya'll down there, have a tail (which wags when happy) for stability, brought around kindly by all that "special" breeding :2thumbsup

I can throw some calipers at you tooo....how long was your tyre low???... might've squared and when you put more pressure in, made it round and lost your contact patch....

[dhunt]

Not sure how long it was low for. Could just just need more hard riding to get use to it/wear it in a bit more as still fearly new tyre.

I'm not sure I want to go riding with you guys any more with mirrors and calipers getting thrown left and right :eek:
