    Ripe Bin action!! woot.

    well I went out for a short ride to drain the tank, and saw antallica on a scoot so I turned around to see what was going on, he pulled afew cheaky wheelies, so I though right here we go - after a quick chat we head down the road, me with the front wheel up 45deg which surprised me.

    so I thought, ok I'll bring the front down now - only to hit a damn man hole cover/or some 'hump', my back end jumped and I lost it (my feet came off my pegs) I tried deperatly to slow it down while trying to regain control, but I was heading towards a kerb so I decided to drop it on its side, me with no gloves on only with jeans and my riding jacket with some shoes (dumbass I know).

    so my injuries are, some gravel rash on my hands, a hole in my knee (might get that bad boy checked) and a torn ligament in my lower leg, which makes it fooken hard to walk, as I cant move my ankle properly - hope it doesnt keep me off the bike to long :disapint:

    well anyway, thanks to antallica for all his help I owe him a few , and he checked up on me even so yea, would ride with him anyday..

    well at least it was a nice wheelie!!

    but now I havto streetfighter my ZZR as the plastic damage is just not worth my time or money, can anyone help me with brackets etc ? cheers.

    keep riding

    Yeah,dumb kids - in my day we didn't do stupid things like that...we were born with maturity beyond our years,rode our bikes sensibly and wore the best motorcycling gear money could buy - nylon parkas,jeans and sneakers.So I have no idea at all of the humiliation and pain you are going through,and have never seen my bike damaged.I don't know about you young guys,you'll probably never learn

    Get youself mended up and then down to Mitre 10 and ask the nice young man for some bog to fix your fairings.

    Ouch! You silly bugger! I hope you went to the hospital to get your injuries checked out. Glad you're ok and have learnt some valuable lessons.

    Ahhhh BUGGER!

    That sucks mate, even though you did pull a good wheelie. I'd LOVE to have a ride on my old 250 and see if I can wheelie it. I tried a few times, but only succeeded slightly on my full licence test.

    Heal up soon, and hope the bike gets sorted.
    Dave.

    keep riding
    Personally I think that all true riders at some stage have had something like that happen at some stage. Those who say that they have not are either telling porkies or don't actually know how to ride hard.
    Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

    Riding hard

    Only time I do, it eventually goes soft again :confused2 .
    Actually (true to the thread) most of us ride insufficiently protected at times but hopefully (fortunately) those of us who push the boundaries at those times are few and far between. Riding hard or theatrically may be localised fun but nothing can beat the sustain of being able to ride free of lasting injuries that would compromise our ongoing pleasure. The reason God made orgasms such a short-lived experience is a completely different matter!
    Reality is an illusion encouraged by consensus.
