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.

[LilSel]

[EJK]

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

Hornet? too pricy lol unless you will sell yours for cheap hahaha

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 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

Gears: Pics to be uploaded soon

C'mon where's the fun in that.

[Aa7]

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. 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. Hyosung time.

put it in your profile anyways

[xwhatsit]

So you ran out of ground clearance and levered a tyre off the ground? Time for a CB250RS 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 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.

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
Since it is a "show off" without the real purpose, I admit not to attempt it seriously...

EJ! Maaate!

Glad your ok man! Take care out there man.

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

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

you heal up well buddy

gutted!

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

Everyone likes the pic lol thanks to TRAINING_WHEEL for the photography

put it in your profile anyways

Yes it is there hahaha
