I crashed my bike.... a little bit

[skidMark]

it sounds like a good excuss to buy a honda or yamehar

You need a reason to learn to spell?

Well it's taken 41220km, but I finaly dropped the bike.

...
Only damage was a bashed wing mirror (the glass popped out in one piece and was able to be put back in no problems) and a small scrape on exhort and one bar end.


On the plus side, I’m fine and have learnt a lesion.

Wow, that was a fine example of what could have been a really hard lesson being a comparatively easy one. Glad that damage to bike was negligible, and it appears you are unscathed. I only wish my mirrors popped out like that and could be popped back in so easily!!! (but I really can't see me changing my bandit for a hyo).

p.s. hope it was a "lesson" you learnt, and not a "lesion" you "earned"

Ride to the conditions mate! Although, I do admit a freak gust of wind can push ya around quite a bit!

I'll add to that, I lost the shinkos on my bike years ago, and noticed an immediate improvement, esp in the wet. Currently running a Pirelli Sport Demon on the rear and an IRC on the front (yes,I know it should be matched, but I couldn't afford to replace them both at the same time)

Try riding a Firestorm with Shinko plastic tyre on the front Mentaly shitting myself on tight corners on bad road service with moss growing on parts on the middle of the road.

yip everyone falls. reminds me of when i was an electrical apprentice and my mate told me everyone gets a zap over their career, and i told her "nope i wont", the week after i got hooked up to a switchboard and it put me in hospital for a week

Crashed a little bit? Isn't that like a little bit pregnant? Glad you OK and lesson is learnt.

Went into a corner to fast, did the stupid thing of slamming on the brakes, instead of just leaning it over and ended up hitting a dirt bank at low(ish) speed.

The bank stopped the bike, but then due to the angle I was on, down she (the bike) went.
