fifth, and the unfortunate end to the vfr..cruising home from work, cut into left lane from right, lady very slowly moving forward, no brake lights on, didn't realise i wouldn't stop till it was way too late, jammed the bloody bike halfway under her little suzuki alto..

wait, what?

[skidMark]

first on my wee sj50qt 'stardust' (i painted it up with flames to make it less hetero-challenged) at about 50kms taking an over-90deg angled corner in the wet on tires that desperately needed changing..10 cars went past, not a single person stopped to see if i was ok. FUCKING CAGE DRIVERS!

second, dropped my fxr150 at a petrol station. DUMB.

third, riding my vfr away from a petrol station and put knee down around first corner of an s-bend (joining two one-way roads together) and, according to the driver who was behind me, my kickstand flicked out and when i went to do the left-hander, she wouldn't go..bin into island garden! was wicked. went flying off the front and rolled about 3 or 4 times..

fourth, taking off from lights on vfr two weeks later, some FUCKING CAGE DRIVERS with hotted up cars thought it'd be awesome to lay some diesel and do burnouts, council laid gravel next morning to cover it, NO SIGNAGE, bike simply fell out from under me. rad. one guy helped me pick it back up again.

two weeks later, some numbnuts fuckwit cage driver (anyone seeing a pattern here?) reversed into it, smashed up the right side and took off. thank christ i insured it..god i miss that bike. anyone got one for cheap? i'll take it! haha..

seventh - just a few days ago, visiting a mate on the new TL and tried turning in a tight spot and she just fell over. i'm not a big guy and i'm not fit and i still picked her up..fuckin aye. but still..gay.

Jesus and they say i'm nuts.

lets see if i can remember mine.

1. car went to far right....with right indicator on...i went to go up left and then they swung hard left into thier driveway..... fucked elbow....fucked my brand new bike.

2. locked front wheel on a mini chopper going into the driveway at my old work. low speed 20kph... in the wet

3. Stupid women ripped a u turn not seeing me in lane next to her....hit rear quarter...i was okay.

4. Lost the rear on cold tyres on my first zxr250a.

5. Sent my first zxr250a off a corner on the kaiaua road came in too hot etc etc kittyhawk ran me off the road blah blah.

6. Took my mates bucket out for a spin at the bucket track...lost the front out of a corner....lowside.

7. Lowsided my second zxr...a ZXR250C in the wet pulling into trugood drive east tamaki...20kph barely on the gas...hit diesil....buh bye! was on my arse before i knew wtf had happened.

8. Put my mates bike into the back of a van on the motorway while lane splitting because a guy changed lanes without indicating...i went oh fuck swerved around him had nowhere to go but van.

9. Purposely lowsided a scooter me and my mate were screwing around at a roundabout seeing how far over we could get her before we binned it.

turns out you can get the footboard flexing under your foot on a a yamaha mint...until the centrestand lever the rear wheel off the ground.

10. Cold tyres on current ZXR at a roundabout near home.... too fast cold tyres **oopsie**



I think thats all of them.

yeh my nc24, ended up under this little old ladies car..haha. i went flying off it, over the car. bloody elderly drivers. not to say i wasn't largely at fault, considering the tires were almost bald..thank god i never put the nc30 down. god that was a cool bike..had velocity stacks, aftermarket exhaust, braided brakelines, hot leads..fuckin went like its arse was flaming. excellent.

[n0regret5]

anyone else notice zxr250s are notorious for getting binned?

[motorbyclist]

yeah, how exactly?

might just be because you buy them with the intention of thrashing them till you get your full


just like all the new gsxrs being binned - they're cheap(er) so there's plenty of them and they're all being thrashed, so you'd expect to hear alot about them crashing

[n0regret5]

came onto the bridge at waiwakaiho in new plymouth and when i pulled on the brakes, the front tire slid on an expansion joint, made the bike tip sideways.

It's because kawasaki riders arn't fags like honda riders, and scraping your fairings is just breaking the bike in.

fuck man, you're just full of bitterness aren't you? i was just on your 'rating the new zxr250' thread and i gotta say, you sound like a retard. learn how to ride, and how to act like a real person around other people.

[n0regret5]

and its more along the lines that 'fag' honda riders know how to ride, know how to pick a good bike, and know when a kawasaki rider is near by the sound of fairings scraping along the road and the smell of oil coming from the poor quality build engine.

i'd take a cbr250 over a zxr250 anyday. USD's aren't all that important until you get to the big bikes.
