EJ "Bin Ladens" it!

[EJK]

Yeah... once in a life time eh?

I binned my Yamaha Scorpio Z yesturday during the "Quiet Monday Ride".

I won't explain all the "How did it happen" stuff cause it's all newbie shit :zzzz:

The bike is now in Red Baron being looked at some mechanics who thinks all Asians are rich...

Well, here is the photo and I'll shut up

P.S. I thank you very much also feel sorry to Kitty and Sanx for picking my bike up

[deanohit]

Well, here is the photo and I'll shut up

Dude, ya got the picture, thats awesome, heres a poster just for you mate! :2thumbsup
Hope there wasn't too much damage to ya bike. Your still typing so you must be fine. ;)

[jrandom]

:laugh:

Awesome stuff man, it's not often one gets a picture of a bin in progress on the road, that'll be a keeper to show the grandkids!

I assume you're all in one piece, no busted or overly bruised bits?

Anyway, don't sweat it, this is the way it goes, one n00b bin out of the way and ticked off, etc.

:niceone:

[EJK]

Here are more photos to prove that I've binned it.

Enjoy

[Usarka]

I guess you won the "how low can you go" competition

[fireball]

you know you are not allowed another Scorpio eh EJ :laugh:

[jade]

Bad luck man but hahah at the commitment poster
tis a good photo though

[Macstar]

Oh mate! The mighty Scorpio with its bicycle tyres failed you?! There is an impression of denial in that photo with no signs of you acknowledging you're sliding out as you stubbornly hold on!

Priceless mate. You better log your misadventure in the who's crashed then (http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/showthread.php?t=57322)thread...

[007XX]

Here are more photos to prove that I've binned it.

Oh ouch!!!! :pinch:

However, bling very much deserved (and sent) for the pics...

:hug:

[Kittyhawk]

Bloody newbie.....you missed an important lesson at the learning night, last night.....how to get your knee down....:whistle:

hahaha I warned Sanx that as soon as we arrived at the scene, I'd point and laugh....

Priceless!!!

[gijoe1313]

:sick: Ooh EJ, now why'd you skip the part from cornering to knee down so quickly? :doh: Glad to hear you are okay, but I think your wallet will take a beating now!

The worst bit is that you won't have wheels for a while! :no: Still, everythings a learning opportunity? :scratch:

PS - I think the damage can be buffed out ...

[bikerboy011]

that sucks man good to hear your ok

[terbang]

Wow great shot sparks and all. Bounce back my friend it doesnt happen every day.

[fireball]

i must admit EJ you did a good job :2thumbsup

from TW taking the photo to seeing you on the ground, bloody big truck coming down the hill, you standing in the middle of the road looking confused, and poor Choc wheels coming up the hill looking confused, more pictures from TW, and me picking up your bike (i was surprised it didnt weigh much)

it was the most crack up bin i have ever seen but sad at the same time



I wish i could get my knee down like EJ!:whistle:

[Lteejay]

Glad your OK. Now you wouldn't have done that on purpose would you, hoping it would be a write off, so you could get a hyosung, that you liked riding the other day? :shifty: :lol:

[RC1]

great photo shot , good to hear your ok, bikes can be fixed

[daaatomic]

what a photo! glad you're alright though, hopefully won't be too long before you're back on the road. i'm still waiting to hear what is going to happen to my bike too.

[EJK]

TRAINING_WHEELS deserve blings for taking the photo :clap:

Yeah I heard, guess that makes us partners? lol

[bane]

Here are more photos to prove that I've binned it.


yep, cause im sure half of KB saw the first photo and thought "that's recoverable" :laugh:


pretty unique to get a picture like that outside of the track environment! (just include it with your insurance claim :whistle: )

hopefully your back on the road soon.

[EJK]

Can I get some information about getting a loan bike? Will the insurance cover the cost?

I must travel upto Dairy Flat near Silverdale to work but I don't have any transport at the moment

[gijoe1313]

Glad your OK. Now you wouldn't have done that on purpose would you, hoping it would be a write off, so you could get a hyosung, that you liked riding the other day? :shifty: :lol:

I dare say he should be riding a little ol'hornet! :innocent: He seems the type! :lol:

btw EJ how did the gear stand up to the abrasive shock treatment you subjected it to? Piccies? Would be good to see how having you, the bike and the road on it! :sick: :pinch:

will be updated tomorrow....

[xwhatsit]

Oh fuck, EJ!!! Now I know what everybody was talking about and confusing me when I asked to go for a ride today in your `Quiet' ride thread :lol:

So sorry, mate. Have you worked out what happened yet? I would've thought if you kept everything smooth line-wise, light power, didn't grab the brakes or hit poor surface, it ought to just carry on gripping. Gutted. Fantastic photo, though.

Damage doesn't look too bad -- just the light/instrument cluster? Handlebars bent? Hopefully the forks and all that are still straight. If it's just handlebars, lights and instruments, I reckon it's time to put clip-ons, bling speedo and streetfighter headlight on :rock-on: But then again it's a new bike... insurance and warranty to worry about.

[fireball]

as i said EJ there is a sexy FXR floating around here somewhere in my back yard...... its road legal still (god knows how) give me a text if you need it can work something out im sure....

[Tank]

EJ - Maaaate.

So sorry to see the pride and joy all messed up. I hope that its more cosmetic than anything else.

But - Im just glad that you are OK. :2thumbsup:2thumbsup:2thumbsup

I hope that it was insured?

[EroSamnin]

Nice cornering skills EJ! I never managed to get my knee down without falling off either!

Glad to hear you are reasonably sweet. Bikes can be fixed eventually. Nice pic to go with it too! When the time comes to sell it, have that pic with it as proof of its awesome lean angles;)

[pritch]

Sorry about the bin.

Even Rossi does things like that occasionally. Best both you and he keep it to a minimum though...:doctor:

[Aa7]

Scorpio the ultimate touring package…… Bin there done that!!!

[EJK]

Some damage to the Headlight, HUD, clutch lever etc....

but the genuin parts would cost a fortune. hope it will be a write off and get a different bike :lol:

Spoken like a biker .... I guess the worse news on the insurance front would be "we're fixing it and giving it back to you!" :shifty:

And if thats the case .... maybe you should consider a hornet? :innocent: (not my one dammit!)

[Aa7]

chicken strips are for pussies……… i even use my rims!!!!


or



countersteering is an urban myth…… there's no way you can get this much lean on with it.

[klyong82]

Glad you are ok EJ. Sorry to hear about the Scorpio. I hope you wore your conduras to keep yourself safe. Heal up and lets go riding again. Yeah follow GIJoe's advice get a Hornet. Think you will look good on one.

[fireball]

Thank you very much.... I really don't know what to say


just roll your eyes and say "yes Kat" everyone else does!

i will see if i can sort the FXR for ya grease up to the flattie....and if that fails ill take the FXR and you can use my bike

[LilSel]

and if that fails ill take the FXR and you can use my bike

:killingme:.... do you think she'll let you near it again?

[EJK]

And if thats the case .... maybe you should consider a hornet? :innocent: (not my one dammit!)

its done about 50,000km right? so whats your offer? :laugh:

hahaha I like that :lol: but I'll try and stick to the rubber next time lol

[EJK]

Alright, here is what and how it happened:

When I took the others cornering photo shot, I decided to have a go for myself too (for my Profile Pic, ironically it is lol)

So there I went. Came upto a corner and leaned.
Peg touched the ground, its usual, I wasn't suprised...
but then I felt some pressure (weight) on the peg... I was going too far.
Then the thin rear tyre lost it's grip, and I went on sliding lol

When I was sliding, i used the momentum to get back up quickly (smooth action)

When I stood up, I thought "Hmm.... This wasn't suppose to happen...."
Then TRAINING_WHEEL and Fireball indicated saying that a truck was comming from the other side :lol: I walked out of the road.

Unfortunately, the bike slid off the road hitting a concrete kerb :(

Lesson Learnt: Scorpio is a commuter not a sports bike

Advice to Scorpio riders: It's a commuter so don't try to ride unlike one lol

Physica damage: Nothing.... just absolutely no damage on my body :)

hey Ej sorry to hear of your bin dude :( but its good news your all okay and not hurt. Yeah it's best to keep the rubber side down from now on ;) hgope to see you back on the bike (or a bigger and better one aye) soon!

[HTFU]

Freaky shit. Ask midnightmike about our conversation we had this morning at the cheesecutter ride in Taupo (was good by the way). It was about EJ, scraping pegs, obsession with getting a knee down and one day pushing it a bit far. We both were predicting it, sorry mate but confidence can be a bit of a leveler I guess.

Glad you walked away no injuries.

Anyway speaking of confidence, after 800 mint ks in two days up around Northland I was having a shit run to Putaruru this morning on my way to meet TriBoy, waiting for cows and herds of sheep on more than one occasion, to finally come around a corner to find a tractor pulling in front of me. Full locked on brakes, weaving madly trying to pick an exit route. I was fully preparing for a impact with his tyres, but luckily he turned enough to let me shoot through. Think we were both as pucked as you could get. I had almost scrubbed off all the speed so it would have been a low speed impact but an impact nether the less. :spanking: Worst 40-minutes of riding and encountering hazards I have had in the 30000+ kms I have done.

Rest of the trip was good.

Time for a new bike EJ. You are pushing that commuter to its limits. :buggerd: Hyosung time. :2thumbsup

[carbacca]

Alright, here is what and how it happened:

When I took the others cornering photo shot, I decided to have a go for myself too (for my Profile Pic, ironically it is lol)



put it in your profile anyways:crybaby:

[xwhatsit]

So you ran out of ground clearance and levered a tyre off the ground? Time for a CB250RS :lol: Must admit the Scorpio does look quite low to the ground.

Nothing wrong with thrashing the nuts off commuters. Like Bonez said, that's where the fun lies :D Go and take a look at the CG125s blatting around the bucket tracks sometime.

I'm told if you scrape the pegs everywhere on your bike, that's when you should start getting your arse off the seat and trying the knee-out cornering style. Haven't bothered with that myself yet, as peg scraping only happens to me very occasionally and by surprise (according to the period brochures, the RS has 45 degrees of lean in it before it starts touching, which is decent, so I can be lazy). I imagine there's a proper technique to be learned doing that, though, and our newbie attempts might not improve `effective' lean angle very much at first.

[MidnightMike]

CRAP!!!! EJ got his knee down before me, I have failed as a rider, lol.

Already took the piss through txting you dude, heads up, dont let it reconsider riding or any of that shit.

Could anyone photoshop the front wheel on straight in the picture, because with those sparks, it would look like he's actually getting his knee down hard out.

[motorbyclist]

gutted!

good pic though.... good thing you're ok

[Winter]

EJ! Maaate!

Glad your ok man! Take care out there man.

And stay away from gijoes hornet..... I have my eyes on tht bike!

Thanks but I am not really intending to get my knee down lol

Big Dog told me the real purpose of putting the knee down and I think I don't have to do it :yes:
Since it is a "show off" without the real purpose, I admit not to attempt it :yes: seriously...


EJ! Maaate!

Glad your ok man! Take care out there man.

yep sure will, from now I'll take care lol I don't wanna end up with two broken arms like someone :whistle: lol

you heal up well buddy :yes:

Everyone likes the pic lol thanks to TRAINING_WHEEL for the photography :)


put it in your profile anyways:crybaby:

Yes it is there :D hahaha

[gijoe1313]

:angry2: Let me say it again! I will never, ever, sell my little ol'hornet! I'm an irrational fool who prefers to let good money sit as a 1:1 scale model when it is time to retire it (which will not be in a very, very, long time!)

:gob: I wonder why people keep thinking I'll be getting rid of my preecciouuuusssssss! :scratch: Heck, Daisy is here to stay as well! (until Donor decides he wants her back!)

EJ, check out this little beauty ... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-130382638.htm if'n anyone wanted a little ol'hornet for cheep cheep, this is the goer! It will go people! You have the gijoe1313 assurance of that! :lol:

[Katman]

Dude, I know you've send me some green rep in the past, but if I had the ability to I'd be sending red your way now. This is nothing short of showing off in front of a camera and ending up looking like a fuckwit. To all of you that think it's a great laugh, you're all as bad as the original poster. Grow the fuck up!

[ital916]

haha great photo mate..i'm glad you're ok. Thats a great photo to put on your wall. Oh and congrats on getting your knee down. Welcom to the low side club...no fun aye haha. I too did the what the hell happened confused stand in the middle of the road. :D

Hope your bikes heals soon :lol: and the good news is now you can repair you damaged lock all at once!!!

Didnt you ask me tell nobody when you show me the pic yesterday???:cool::banana:

[marioc]

Would you have made it on a Gn? ;)

[fireball]

Would you have made it on a Gn? ;)

i gave him the option to try on the GN (loan bike) but he declined bet he would have made it!

looked like fun.

Pencil me in for next week. havent had elbow or knee down in a week or two.

You could have saved that, never give up until you can't hold on.









Well probably not but good on you for trying and excellent photo. Normally only celebrities get that kind of lens time mid accident.

getting knee down without the bike as well EJ:dodge:

Ok I see skidmark is reading this...

I need help here guys lol

Big Dog told me the real purpose of putting the knee down and I think I don't have to do it :yes:
Since it is a "show off" without the real purpose, I admit not to attempt it :yes: seriously...
That is the real reason, AFAIK, of getting your knee out and hanging off -- to avoid touching down the hard bits of your bike and levering the wheels off the tarmac. No need to get the knee down as such -- that's mostly pure wank -- but hanging off the bike a tad and shifting your body around is a technique designed to reduce the angle of lean required in a corner. But this is all stuff I have no experience about whatsoever, just read it in books ;)

That Hornet GiJoe1313 linked to is selling at a damn good price! Still more than the Scorpio was new, though, so insurance wouldn't stretch for all of it. Time for a second-hand VTR250? Spada? CB250G5 :lol:

[EJK]

[Cr1MiNaL]

No need to get the knee down as such -- that's mostly pure wank

Sorry I beg to differ. Sticking your knee out while riding aggressively on backroads is a very effective way to go faster more confidently and not risk as much. Plus its easier to change line suddenly and best of all it looks great. You should try it sometime... and if you do get ur knee down on the road riding like that you know to back off and save it for the track.:msn-wink:

hahahah the fruity shit that come outta your keyboard Raj...

Look E.J, I reckon you probably didn't bin and did it as a publicity stunt as you're way too humble/embarrassed to admit you're a hardcore racer/MOTO GP rider inthe making. I've seen your alter-ego E.J , you whipp off your fake glasses and the sofa cushion that you hide inside your cordura gear to give people the impression that you are handicapped leaner...

It looks like I've just caught you red handed in the cookie jar you mungus...

Why not just admit it?

BTW, that photo is gold, I know how hard is it suppressing not to get your knee down. :bleh:

Yeah -- sticking knee out -- that's what I said. Getting knee down is -- wait for it -- mostly pure wank. Didn't we all learn from Tom's thread :laugh: You're arguing pretty much exactly what I wrote.

No need for me to try it; got ground clearance for Africa (thumpers are narrow buggers) and I wouldn't trust the late-1950s suspension technology that far.

[TRAINING WHEELS]

Well Mate ...
Even though i witness your first knee down :yes: you are still more than welcome to take the GTR for a spin....Just keep the wheels spinning on the road:Oops:

Anyway mate hope to ride with you soon .... cross fingers monday will still be a go :sweatdrop

Glad you were ok ....

The thing is man, everyone likes to have a little show off, I bet when you were younger you did, and I know he has learned a lesson from this. Everyone likes to look cool for the camera, EJ just ended up looking a different kind of cool.
Because while he and some of us think that is a cool pic to have, he also has it as a reminder of how he cocked up and now has no bike right there everytime he looks at that pic.
EJ is a smart rider, last Sat he had the courage to ask me to slow down as he wasn't comfortable with the speed we were going.
All a part of the learning process.

Agree to a certain extent Deano, but there is a feeling that this isn't going to be the last of a photo shoot gone wrong involving these young Aucklanders. Similar feelings with a young group from Hamilton as well.

My concern as myself and Mike were discussing was that sort of thing always increases the chances of an accident as everyone tries to outdo the other. I use to ride bmx and jump mountain bikes and when the boys got together the competition would always end in someone going beyond their limits. All good offroad, and its how progression happens. Trouble with what these guys is doing the only progression is to go faster (can't lean it anymore than scraping the pegs). We always had bigger jumps to make etc and it was you vs gravity (and the ground when it went wrong).

There was mention of a truck etc. He was lucky in my opinion. People talk about EJ having a experience head on his young shoulders, this couldn't be further from the truth based on this. If there was some learning that took place then great, but the typical LOL response you get from the young fellow suggests its all part of the game.

This riding thing is dangerous enough as it is without bikers setting up corners to see who can get their knee down the best. 36 bikers dead this year already and the majority of them would have simply been riding along. A few unfortunately would have been doing this sort of thing. LOL (eh EJ)

[Macstar]

I hope you aren't correct. That would nearly be 10% of the annual road toll, which seems a bit high.

Yea, I get what your saying mate, we had a shoot up the Corromandel lookout last weekend, I don't know how fast everyone else went, but I took it easy (as you could see I wasn't leaning too hard) , as thats a long way from home to be binning it. Tell ya the truth I was just stoked to have my first pic of me riding my bike instead of standing next to it.

Awesome photo, well done the camera man

[owner]

pick up the peices, lesson learnt just try not to do it again

glad your ok mang

[fireball]

:angry2:FFS


just to clarify... when this happened there was no completion or challenge to get a knee down.. speed was not a factor in anyway it was just a chance to get a picture to show what progression we have made as learners....

EJ just happened to get his peg touching and it got pulled over.. basic mistake and we all make them, we are not out there trying to prove anything we are just riding.

lol yeh right.... haha
thanks for the words anyways lol

[gijoe1313]

So word from the insurance company yet? I hope everythings okay, mum being mum (and an asian one at that! :sweatdrop) and your lack of conveyance now ... always good to reflect on the factors and your mental state of mind and what you did right/wrong from the incident.

And big ups to those who helped you out afterwards to get you and the poor little scorpio back to home base!

[discotex]

That sucks EJ. Guess you didn't get a chance to stand it up before you levered the tyres off the ground.

Pity about the bike but glad you're ok. Bikes are pretty easy to fix (or buy new). Agree with everyone that says you should get a Hornet or maybe a Bandit if your bike is written off.

[Tank]

if you saw the way EJ eye's up the chrome on my bike - I think he should get a cruiser. And ride it like a Hornet!

[EJK]

lmao lots of suggestions there!

I called the insurance and they are gonna send me a "Claim Form" which will take days... fill it and send it back... another couple of days, then theres the weekend, aargh!!!!!

after all that, I'll get some news :argh:

Lesson learnt!: I shouldn't have bought a new bike!!! faarrkkuuhh!!!!!
I should've bought a used bike and play around till I got some "Knowledge"!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH HH!!!!!!!!!!!!1

What a waste of a perfectly good new bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now now EJ hates such a harsh word. Perfectly good new bike :laugh:. That was before you bought it. After that it was the bike formely known as new.:bleh:

But come on EJ what was the lesson you really learnt ? ................

[EJK]

There are two things that I've learnt that day.

1. Scorpio is a commuter not a sports bike. Don't try to ride beyond it's limit

2. New bike is not a good start for a poor asian like me :argh:

Thing is, to get something reliable for all the tripping you do, you would've had to have spent similar money anyway.

[Chrislost]

Then the thin rear tyre lost it's grip, and I went on sliding lol

When I was sliding, i used the momentum to get back up quickly (smooth action)

When I stood up, I thought "Hmm.... This wasn't suppose to happen...."
Then TRAINING_WHEEL and Fireball indicated saying that a truck was comming from the other side :lol: I walked out of the road.


Lesson Learnt: Scorpio is a commuter not a sports bike

Advice to Scorpio riders: It's a commuter so don't try to ride unlike one lol

Physica damage: Nothing.... just absolutely no damage on my body :)



a) get some stickyer tyres and go try again huh? and kneesliders? or were you planning to dewaterproof your knee?

at least you can ge a new bike and gears for summer. you may have missed the best part of if it had been you up against the curb.

Come on, have a sense of humor.. The "good on ya for getting your knee down" comments are obviously in jest.

Shit happens. People make mistakes when they're riding. Happens to the Rossi's the learners and everyone in between. The fact that EJ is big enough to admit he pushed it too far speaks volumes about his willingness to learn to be a better (and safer) rider.

Maybe by sharing his experience he's actually helping others learn from his mistakes. Had you considered that?

Why? There is no God ordained law that says every rider must crash.

It may be worth reflecting on what the result could have been had that truck been in a different place. Crashes are never clever, never funny, and not inevitable. Sometimes shit happens, even the best riders can't get it right every time, and sometimes the Biker Gods just gang up on someone. But it's never "a bit of fun".

And now theres a poor little Yamahappy that's bent and broken. :nono: . 'Tis sport for thee, but it is death to the frog.

Actually yeah it is a bit of a laugh but not in the way you mean. More in the way that you look back on something and laugh at how silly you were as your mates take the piss out of you and you resolve to never make that mistake again.

I agree it's pretty stupid to set up a shot but it can be done safely (hell the magazines all do it and no-one boycotts them). As long as there are spotters to make sure the traffic is clear and all that you can make it safe(er).

Maybe that can be a lesson learnt out of this.. Rather than just slagging them off you could give them some advice.

Ok. EJ, your photo actually tells quite a story.

It shows a bunch of young guys with poor rider skills (not to mention camera skills!) and self-control having a bit of a lark on their bikes for the camera. All these combinations unfortunately can add up to disaster as bravado usually overpowers what little commonsense and ability there is at the best of times. What next? A race over some local twisty road next Friday night with your mates to see who can get rid of their chicken strips?? It only takes one moment of bad judgment in the adrenaline pumping excitement coupled with peer pressure for it to go all horribly wrong. This is not a safe environment or mindset for anyone coming to grips with motorcycling.

I would strongly recommend you to choose your riding companions very carefully, or better yet stick to riding on your own, at your own pace that you feel comfortable with, without those other outside pressures.

Motorcycles are not fun toys, and roads are not some kind of personal playground. You need to take it very seriously or it could bite you in the butt one day.

Dipshit; you're a dipshit. You've got the wrong end of the stick when it comes to these chaps.

he is not a poser

just a guy who loves bikes...

they were just going around a corner...i think the camera had very little to do with it.

accidents happen it is part of motorcycling....we are on 2-3 inches TOTAL of tread on the road as opposed to that of minimum 35 inches tread on the road on a car....

riding a motorcycle is a huge risk ...shit happens....

I would have to agree with EJ....Who the hell are you to Judge about his friends "us" Have you ever meet any single riding companion of EJ's???
Like stated There was no speed involved no adrenaline pumping excitement no boasting on trying to get knee down and as for lack of commonsense well untill you meet us dont judge us......
As for EJ riding at his own pace so there is no presure ... EJ will ride his own ride as we all do on Monday day rides....We long accepted we dont know it all and have much to learn but hey what do you recomend? Stay riding in the carpark to fine tue our skills or just sit on our bikes in the driveway and pretend? Maybe thats how you learnt to ride but these days we actually get out there and put everything we learn to the test....If we mess something up we accept it, learn from it and move on thats what life lessons are about...I know things can go real bad real quick in life but like getting up in the morning its a risk that is taken, do we sit in our ball of cotton to protect ourselvs from all that can go wrong in the world or do we get up and get on with life? I know what i would do!!!!
Yea motorcycles are toys and expensive at that but so is skydiving or surfing.... S#^t can go wrong anywhere at any time its all about WHAT risk your willing to take. If it bites us in the ass and we survive lesson well learnt but riding is not the only thing that will bite us in the ass! and if for some reason we dont well that is the ultimate lesson.....Everything happens for a reason even reason it's self....

FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, FUCK IT !!!!! I actually agree with Skidmark (and now I feel really dirty).

From my other post you can tell that Im a nana rider.

I go to the Wednesday night mentor evenings. EJ is there EVERY WEEK learning to be a better rider, and improves each and every week. NEVER does he play up or play the fool (Training Wheels is there as well BTW). He listens, practices, ask questions, and takes his riding seriously. He is about as safe as a learner can get - period!

Acting like a cock is just not in EJ's makeup.

Hell I would like a nice pic of me on my bike also and would be happy to have a shot set up (actually would love it if anyone is offering), that does not mean I would ride like a twat thru it - assuming EJ was is incorrect.

Upshot. Im pretty picky about who I ride with. And I would ride with EJ over a lot of the more experienced riders on this forum.

and Id ride with Training Wheels - coz shes neat !

[gijoe1313]

Geez Skidmark, you made a great post and I be gobsmacked! :gob: I've ridden with EJ and he has a great passion and love for two wheeled contraptions, he gets around almost as much as I do and I daresay if he had the funds, he'd get around just as much if not more!

Thanks for posting and reminding us all about how incidents can happen so quickly, fortunately the consequences were relatively "minor" (and I know how different it all can be :sweatdrop) and getting us all to think about what we can do as riders to keep riding safely (or at the least rubber side down).

Hows the insurance politicking coming along? (a new can of worms I would suspect!)

they were just going around a corner...i think the camera had very little to do with it. yeah right

accidents happen it is part of motorcycling....we are on 2-3 inches TOTAL of tread on the road as opposed to that of minimum 35 inches tread on the road on a car....again stating the obvious about the tread thing, as for the accidents part, some of us are more likely to have them than others, for obvious reasons

Here I am hoping EJ will get something a bit more sports orientated than his scorpio... http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Motorbikes/Motorbikes/Sports/auction-130273777.htm

If I get my claim, I'm gonna get one of this!

You want the Yamaha website?:blink:

[Tank]

you think we're all dumb as fuck.

well - when it comes to you - I think he was right on the money!

[vagrant]

So you ran out of ground clearance and levered a tyre off the ground? Time for a CB250RS :lol: Must admit the Scorpio does look quite low to the ground.

That was my "quick shifter" trick when I was playing in Clubmans at Raupuna.
Lean the VFR over in the sweeper till the peg folded up, and the gear lever got loaded, and keep the throttle pinned.
The bike would pivot round the lever, lift the back wheel off the track, unload the box so the next gear would slot home, while the drag slowed the bike slightly to stand it up a little, wheel back on the track, gear change done, and still at full loud.:cool:

As an aside, anyone who followed me into the corner would back off real quick, waiting for the crash. Was good for a couple of bike lengths up the front straight:first:

[vagrant]

Ah, just found where you said you hit a kerb. Didn't think your slide should have done so much damage.
Any word yet from the insurance company?

[EJK]

Yes, the HUD damage was done because of the concrete Kerb.

Insurance? oh.... it's been a while and I almost forgot....

no, not a word yet.... I gotta recieve the claim form.

btw, Blue Baron still havn't even touched my bike yet....


....where is the damn quote!!!!

[EJK]

You want the Yamaha website?:blink:

damnit.... wrong link

[Big Dog]

EJ, you clearly need a bike that lives up to your ambitions and ability.

As said earlier today if you want to keep riding like that you need a bike that can ride like that. I think your acccident was more of an indictment of your bike than you.

[No FX]

iv only read the start of this thread but id just like to say that i hope if/when i next crash i have someone there to take a photo as perfect as yours:headbang: what are the chances :cool:

[EJK]

rofl! thanks for the comment lol

Yep, Indeed its one hellova picture :yes:

[skidMark]

Yet despite all this, he still managed to throw his bike down the road when out clowning around with his KB mates. Just goes to show doesn't it. :confused:
yeah um you see the width of the tyres

accidents happen fuck wit...it's not like hes proud of it...

fuck off you tosser.

Hope you are as tough as the shit you spit on here SkidMark. Remember this site is linked to the real world. :Oops: When you meet some of these people. Not clever at all.

I must have missed the part where he asked for your advice?

I must have missed the part where I asked for your opinion. :girlfight:

[ital916]

Hey guys, shit happens. EJ is a great rider and i'm sure he has learnt his lesson from all this. Hope you get back on the road soon bud. Thanks for all the advice you've given me. Bling for ya. See you on the road.:D

I test rode a ZZR250 today.

First impression: "Hmmm..... Meh....."
To tell the truth, I was quite disappointed. I thought it would be more powerful that I'd expected

But I like the style :) + the 14,000rpm

Prolly cause they're bloody heavy for the HP. You need to get on a CBR/ZXR if you want 250 power (or a 2 stroke 250).

[xwhatsit]

Plus, you'll be used to the instant torque of the single, whereas 14,000rpm twins take a bit more time to spool up.

dont listen to them EJ. Get yourself a GN250!:clap:

[babyblade250rr]

Well guys and gals,

I leave ya'll alone for two weeks whilst i enjoy a much deserved vacation in the pacific, And bloody hell look whats happend!! E.J's binned (Sorry to hear about that my friend it happens to the best of us!, Your bike really doesnt look that bad cosmetics tend to make things look worse than they really are!). And look at the abuse this guys getting!! One might start to think he's the first person in the history of mankind to crash a motorcycle!. Then there's this guy dipshit who seems to know everything about everyone? Actually the screen name doesnt look familiar and i don't believe i've met you. However you don't know E.J! (Please correct me if i'm wrong E.J) and you don't know the group of people he rides with! I do!!.

Infact you couldnt ask for a better group of people to ride with!! safety is always a key factor with these guys and i've never seen a noob in this group purposely showing off!! So what if he wanted a photo of himself going around a bend to keep as a profile pic, And yes it turned out badly but who the hell cares!, Motorcycles are a risk in themselves and by choosing to ride one you've already accepted the fact you maybe hurt, injured or god forbid killed!!

So yes he crashed most importantly he's ok and uh let's perhaps consider not abusing the guy for the rest of his life for this mishap that could happen to any of us on any given day! and move on.

[Cr1MiNaL]

Well guys and gals....move on.

Woot what passion you have hidden deep within you !
No wonder you ride an R6.
On that note do u still want the lowering links mate... I have been holding them for you.

[motorbyclist]

[breakaway]

You're gonna get some "Suspension links" from Raj and "fit" them eh ;)

Test rode a Yamaha Zeal today.

Impression: "I am not buying this!"

Reason: The peg touched the ground while cornering. Felt a bit of chill on my back, and since that is the reason why I binned the Scorpio.

Overall: Zeal is powerful. 14,000rpm/ 4 cylinder is awesome!
It handles great, the bike is bit heavier but I could move it like the Scorpio (For a second I felt back at home). the pegs are low hence comfortable riding position.
However, those low pegs seems to be too low... (maybe not)

The Zeal brought me back the Horror. Sorry Zeal, you are not for me :(

Thinking to buy: ZZR250

[Choco]

Your reviews make me want to upgrade already! :crybaby:
Keep them up though; its interesting to read them.
Better end this now before my Gn gets jealous and throws me off :shutup:

you should test ride a cruiser too EJ they are plenty of fun!!!!

ZZR? oh yeah, they are lovely bikes indeed. I think I can find one cheap on Trademe. I'll think about it when I get the claim lol

A cruiser? Hmmm... :shifty: Hows your GZ? :lol:

[fireball]

Hows your GZ? :lol:

:angry2::crybaby::crybaby::crybaby: still in the shop... they must be sending the replacement parts by boat from japan or something
i cant wait to get her back this bloody GN is doing my head in :2guns:

[Choco]

Haha. for you, I'll take a ZX-6R for a spin tomorrow ;)*

I was thinking more along the lines of a VTR/Spada/Zeal upgrade (something which can actually get to a 100 on the flat = upgrade.). What about a ninja 250 for your next bike? Thats a bike you should be able to lean quite a bit :P

[Choco]

i cant wait to get her back this bloody GN is doing my head in :2guns:

You don't know how much i'm laughing.

Ive had more comments from chicks when Ive been riding my gixxer than when I was on my uncles cruiser.

[Timaa]

damn right, its the hot looking sprot bikes that pick up chicks. unless the chicks are butch and like fat ugly cruisers. lol.

seriuosly EJ!! test ride the hornet. im telling you its the bike your looking for. and even if u dont buy it you will know wat it feels and handles like and such on and forth so.

TRY IT!!!! or else. lol

Tim

[EJK]

Or else? lol

Meh.... I can always ask GIJOE1313 :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

Justin! HERE I COME!

*Knock* *Knock*

[Timaa]

prob should ay. at least then u wll know wat its like. it was my first bike and i rekon u would like it as its got everything u looking for. naked, wont hurt in a crash. ( pockets that is ) got plenty of power and looks cool. masive rear tyre for keeping the bike on the road not you. high pegs so u wont go down the road for that again. looks cool. and is good on fuel.

go on. u kno u want to.

[EJK]

I'll buy it when GIJOE sell his for a good price :D:D:D

C'mon Justin! you know you want to buy more Warhammer 40k :lol:

[gijoe1313]

I think people don't seem to realise how crazy I am ... I am perfectly willing to never ever let my hornet get away from me and I don't care about any money I could possibly get in a sale on it... :oi-grr:

I am a collector. What I collect I keep.

And yes, that means I will have 1:1 scale model of a little ol'hornet mounted on a wall one day when I have decided to let the poor beastie rest.

Ahhh, but if EJ wants to have a ride on it to see what a little ol'hornet can do, then that is a different matter! :msn-wink:

I let a teacher who has been out of riding for six years on my little ol'hornet today at school. The sheer glee and joy I felt as he took off around the school on it was manna to my soul ... :yes: ... I daresay I have re-ignited the biking passion in him again muwhahaha! His wife is gonna hate me! :whistle: :innocent:

And oh yes, the little ol'hornet will be mine until the end of time.

My precccciouuuuusssssssssss.... :drool:

[delusionz]

Oh dear god

EJ what are you doing brother!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks like you're leaning too far into that corner... wait... you're actually on the ground there!!!!!!!!


Ohhhhhh a bin, Looks like you're unhurt, are you hurt?

Bad luck man, when u getting ya bike back?

[discotex]

Reason: The peg touched the ground while cornering. Felt a bit of chill on my back, and since that is the reason why I binned the Scorpio.


Well done for not chucking it down the road right then by locking up on instinct or grabbing a handful of brake as the survival reactions kick in.

I think we need to get you hanging off a bit so you can corner without using up all your ground clearance. Not to be cool but to make you a safer rider.

Now seriously, go test ride a Hornet so you can compare other bikes to it. Ditto a ZXR/CBR. Doesn't matter if you're not going to buy it as long as you don't bin it ;)

Just remember to warm up the tyres before you start getting it cranked right over and don't just drop it in full lean. Work up to it so you don't get any nasty surprises.

[motorbyclist]

yeah give a hornet a ride they are very nice bikes

and cruisers don't get chicks (well the young ones anyway) and nor do clapped out/scratched 250 sports; flash naked/sports bikes get girls, but alot of girls really, really dont care.... trick is to find one who does, or be good looking enough to make her care

we envy you stephen;)

[gijoe1313]

Yesterday, I did offer EJ the use of my little ol'hornet while I mooched around Borders and read all the bike magazines. He knew I just wanted to stare at haw asian gurlies because apparently he does the same too :o :doh:

And today... I just don't feel like riding! Heresy! :eek5: Just don't feel the mojo baby! :weep:

[Katman]

I think we need to get you hanging off a bit so you can corner without using up all your ground clearance.

Personally, I think he just needs to spend time learning how to ride. All this "hanging off" business is total bullshit for inexperienced riders on the road.

[HTFU]

you my good sir. are a class A cock.

:clap: Love the personal attacks and then they fuck up a week later.

Class A++ aye Shitmark

[FilthyLuka]

I think we need to get you hanging off a bit so you can corner without using up all your ground clearance.

THANK YOU!!! thank you thank you thank you thank you

And here in is where "gettin your knee down" came from... Bikes had shit ground clearance so you had to "hang off" so you didnt grind your foot pegs into little stumps!

Can someone please give this man a cookie... seriously

Right! gonna go paste this into that big tits thread now...

[FROSTY]

And now to add an interesting twist to the story---
Jorja just bought a new bike---1 guess which bike it is?

[EJK]

A S C O R P E E O!!!! lol

Awwww I want one lol

[EJK]

Everyday I curse myself "why I binned a perfectly good running bike".

Geez, If I did not bin that time, commuting to work and to uni would be way easier...

[Nagash]

And here we see the not-so-awsome side of crashing.

[EJK]

That picture is not worth it really...

[Nagash]

T'was a cool picture, and worked out really well as a motivational poster.


Hey EJ, if you're having troubles, I have a Suzuki FX 125 (Sort of a step down from your 150 but in good running condition) that I could probably flick off to you for about a grand?

[fireball]

you know what tho EJ im glad you binned it there... it was as controlled as it could have been.. you didnt get hurt, you learnt a lesson and i get to take the piss out of you for a long time yet!

just remember bikes can be replaced by even more crap bikes you were going to crash the scorp regardless your riding was to advanced for a commuter bike you are above the FXR also,

at least you still up walking around kiddo

[motorbyclist]

good luck running out of lean on the fxr like you did on the scorpio though

I still think you are doing something wrong. I just can't put my finger on it.

[MSTRS]

I still think you are doing something wrong.

I've been studying the pic, trying to see what is eluding you.
The answer is - you are imagining things.
The rider is wearing appropriate gear, he has the correct knee out, his upper body is angled just right, he is in the perfect position in his lane for the speed he is doing.

Perhaps it's just the forward-control cruiser that is throwing you off your game?
