Fuck I'm a dumb arse

[TerminalAddict]

I took a zxr250 for a spin today.

and guess what .....

doing 100 uphill, leaning slightly right. the hill drops, but the corner keeps going around to the right.

I stood the bike up as much as poss. and plowed on the picks. I reckon I dropped the speed to about 70, then hit the gravel on the side of the road.

Pics attached.

Rang insurance company, and they said "so sorry but you're not covered"

I guess I'm buying the bike .....
its a 91 zxr250, with 80,000kms on the clock. The engine was replaced 200kms ago, and was in average condition before I took it out, it now is in less than average condition

[bugjuice]

it's probably not worth claiming anyway, cos the excess is probably not much less than what it'll cost to repair..
sucks tho dude.. you ok? just keep crankin it over, and don't take corners fast that you don't know too well!

Ouch mate, sorry to hear. At least you have a bike now

[TerminalAddict]

thank fuck for new leathers.

Had denim on the legs, and a couple of grazes, nothin at all really. Done more damage to myself on a pushbike.

Might have sprained my left thumb, coz its a wee bit sore.

However ..... my ego/pride/wallet/etc etc really hurts

hard way to get a ZXR I supose, but hey maybe its the start of something good ? - keep the chin up, life throws alot of curveballs when you try get your leg over them ZXR's

[TerminalAddict]

any idea whats going to cost me for indicator, and air tube thingees ?

The fairing I'll probably plaster up with bog, and hope not to drop it again

Bummer dude, but big ups for owning up. If I lent someone my bike for a test ride and they crashed it, I would be incredibly gratefull that they didnt do a runner, or refuse to pay damage!

Yes - I agree. You are indeed a dumb arse (joke).

Glad to hear you're ok though. Platic can be fixed, and lessons can be learnt.

(Farq I'm getting all high and mighty these days. I need to smoke some pot and start watching porn again.)

fuck you are old

I'm thinking reapir the indicator/and air intakes, and forget about the fairings until sale time.

I guess I need to call somebody to find out how much
any recommendations? (in Hamilton/Auckland)

As it's been said, a motorcycle is only a poxy machine. At least you're ok
But atleast you didn't lock the wheels like I did lol

Glad to hear you're still in one piece. And you always learn something from an off.
At least now you'll be able to put a bike to your profile...
