aww crap I fell off

[FROSTY:Me]

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?

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

[Antallica]

Stuff the fairing, get naked!

Come on, where's the pics?

[MadDuck]

hmmmm i did a similar thing on Sunday ...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

[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.

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

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

[Riff Raff]

Still, could have been worse.

[riffer]

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:Me]

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
