aww crap I fell off

[FROSTY]

I fell off the beast-GSX1100G last night -
-pity though the replacement lever is black not standard chrome.
The slow roll down the ex's driveway--Like 100 times before -the bump at the end then onto the road--all good --then the bike stalls.
I reach for the ground--no sweat no hassles--But the road as mysteriously dissabpeared and reappeard 200mm lower than I expected.
Stranded with both legs at full stretch I slowly topple over -with the inevitable---OHH CRAP - as the bike falls the opposite way to my expectations.
Once my foot had touched it was clear--yep she's gonna hit -all i could do was slow her fall to the ground. ahh well I never needed that bloody fairing anyhoo
hmm Frosty crashes his bike --estimated speed-0.05km/h --sheesh

Time to put that beast on a diet!

edit: D'oh!
I do worry occasionally about getting suck in a position over a kerb/drain or whatever when I cant reach the ground!

Bugger. Still 0.05 is a lot better than 50.0. Sorry to hear. The frame sliders would have helped. Hence they are on my Gixxer. Probably just brake off at any speed but a few bikes get dropped this way. CU Sunday in Taupo

Sorry, havent seen any platform M/cycle boots for sale nigh on 30 years, perhaps Motu has some in the back of his wardrobe? :niceone:

[dhunt]

:Oops: Man that's got to suck, I think in some ways it feels worse than coming off at higher speeds cause at least then you have good excuse. But I know what it feels like, I did it to my bike the first day I owned it :mad:

[Antallica]

Stuff the fairing, get naked!

Come on, where's the pics?

[MadDuck]

hmmmm i did a similar thing on Sunday :Oops: ...parked on a hilly street in town. Went to jump on bike - stand started to move and bike kinda just fell over.

All happened in slow motion really. Worst thing was as it facing down the hill I couldnt lift it up by my self :doh:

[Dr Bob]

At least it wasn't the 'other' bike.

Yeah,it's a common problem on adventure bikes...tall seats and short legs.Gotta think ahead.But when they go down,they go down in a hurry.

[Antallica]

At least it wasn't the 'other' bike.
At least it wasn't my bike. Then again I would just laugh it off.

[Jess]

At least it wasn't my bike. Then again I would just laugh it off.

...really...? :killingme
naw, now that you've got a naked one i suppose...

[Riff Raff]

:doh: Still, could have been worse.

[riffer]

:doh: Still, could have been worse.

Oh dear - got to be the slowest low side you've ever had, Frosty.

I did the same thing myself day before the warrant was due. Cost me $30 for a new indicator.

Bad luck dude.

[jrandom]

Oh dear - got to be the slowest low side you've ever had, Frosty.

<_<

Sounded more like a highside to me.

[FROSTY]

Ya know the worst thing about it--I was taking baby bikie home.
He just kinda stepped off as it hit the deck. His comment really was the icing on the cake.
Daddy -does your bike want to have a sleep now? cos its laying down like its sleeping
argggg bloody kids :angry2:

[James Deuce]

What a bugger! GLad it was a low speed tip over and not a big un.

[SPORK]

[JohnBoy]

:laugh:

[Motu]

Is that you in the photo Hollowmen? - you're fuckin gorgeous!...let's meet somewhere quiet and discreete,I'll bring some mates and we'll see if we can do something with that pimple on your shoulders.

I'm glad you didn't catch ya leg or ankle under it. Now that would be painfull.A few years ago when the RNZAF had an Air Combat Wing I dropped the Intragra at home after a hard hot summers day out at Ohakea during a air weapons camp (when they had such things). Was so tired when I got home dropped the thing and pinned myself solid. Our black lab was very sympathetic and tried licking me to death. :eek: My meek cry for help was not heard and it took while to gather enough energy to lift it enough to pull the leg free. :sweatdrop All the missis said was "what took you so long " :crybaby:

[FROSTY]

yep she shore did. Bloody hell thats a few years ago.
Dang it that girl used every trick in the book to get on the back with me arggg I musta told her a dozen times no -and her with only jeans and a LJ too

I remember that night very well, you begged her to get on your bike , i mean begged and begged. does that mean there was 2 times you crashed with a girl on the back speeding round mission bay?? i can even remember what you said b4 you left darby st, " i just need to burn off some gas before i race some one, do you want to go for a ride? " she's a silly girl , should never get on a bike with an amateur. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

This is like a replay..... :shit:

Ok now this is scary.... :o

Oh I am ssoooooooo with you there ... :hug:


Sorry, havent seen any platform M/cycle boots for sale nigh on 30 years, perhaps Motu has some in the back of his wardrobe?

Yeah - well neither have I - and no I don't have any left over from an earlier era (and yes I DID look!!) - so I decided to take my m/bike boots to the local shoe repairer and ask them to raise them for me. I get 'em back Friday... I wait with baited breath to see (and test) the end result..... :yeah:

[FROSTY]

Dude you have a bad memory or your out to shit stir.
I remember that night like it was yesterday. The girl in question wanted a ride on my ninja. I had brand new tyres to scrub in and a full tank of gas. it was 11.05pm and I wasn't pushing the bike.
I'd been round that corner a hundred times before and the grind marks from the crankcases came from the tip in point -The bike tipped in easy but wouldn't come back up
Fuck ya know there aint many things i regret in life but one of em was letting her convince me to take her with me.

[Ms Piggy]

IM TOO OLD TO RACE ANY MORE . and i dont have the patience to stand around till 12 for everyone to get their act together, i only ride on the road now

[MadDuck]

WHAAAT --You damaged my next race bike---oyyyyyyy take better care of her :gob: :gob:


oops did I say that out loud. I promise to take more care Mr Frosty - truely :yes:

[Redstar]

its so bloody frustrating when you drop yer bike on the terra ferma when yer just manouvering around the garage or yard. Done it been there. I sure now lay off the brake under lock it transfers the weight to you real quick.
but dispite that smart common knowledge I will do it again I know its just a matter of time and a momentry lapse of concentration. :weep:

[FROSTY]
