May be SuperDave but im not Superman

Is there something about right confused with left in this story?

Kickstand is on the left, right? So wouldn't have dug in on a left hand turn?

HA HA true, it is on the left and I was turning left my mistake.
But gotta give it to you for noticing that.

Woke up this morning to a sore ass and leg, but other than that I'm fine

Given that you fell of the bike yesterday its perfectly acceptable to be confused...

Go buy some Anti-Flamme. That will help with the bruising.

[SuperDave]

Now get you some decent protective gear before the next bin.

Funnier enough, I was actually out earlier that day looking and trying on some gear, damn pay day being wednesday

Sorry to hear that SuperDave. Luckily, for that particular accident anyway, I should never suffer from it. Mostly because my bike won't let me (squillion kills switches), but also because I'm obsessivvvvvvve comppppulsive. . . ... . . ....

My ride routine is check tyres, suit up, helmet gloves, start bike, side stand up, indicators off, kill switch on, lights dim, check stand again, pull off, check indicators, check lights, check stand.... all the way down the road hehehehe. I settle into riding, like I've said before, after about 2 or 3 mins.

I think it stems from me being slightly crazy, partly weird and very very odd. But at least I'm a great rider and I can wheelie... Oh wait

Hey Stoney, was that you I saw going up River Road about 7.15 last night?

Good to see you've got full protective gear now - must have been a great night for a ride.

I would have thought that step 7 would have been redundant after successfully executing step 4?

And make *sure* you get all-over gear that fits snugly and has GOOD KNEE ARMOUR! I can't stress that enough. My left knee is *still* a little funny from the crash several weeks back. If you ever highside on the road without knee armour, you'll know what I'm talkin' about.

[rodgerd]

Yeah ridden of with the stand down a few times on the old Fixxer, great fun

Makes me glad the Bandit won't go if the stand is down

Yeah. All bikes should have that cut-out switch.

Ouch, I know all about knee's. Have had 4 ops on my left but thats parcially due to me being a dweeb.

[ajturbo]

who hasn't taken off with the stand down????

[StoneChucker]

You would be correct, making my checking it seem even more daft than it already is! I still do it though.

Hey Stoney, was that you I saw going up River Road about 7.15 last night?

Nope, not me. And I still wear jeans, although a darker color

[FlyingDutchMan]

I managed to hit a speed bump with it down Didn't spill but hell, was that a bump!

[Ms Piggy]

What a bummer but, at least you're ok. I know, more than once, I've ridden off with my kickstand down - arrgghhh!

[Teflon]

Bad luck man.

Run a drill through both ends of the crack in your fairing, should prevent it from getting worse.
