EJ "Bin Ladens" it!

[EJK]

lol yeh right.... haha
thanks for the words anyways lol

[gijoe1313]

So word from the insurance company yet? I hope everythings okay, mum being mum (and an asian one at that! ) and your lack of conveyance now ... always good to reflect on the factors and your mental state of mind and what you did right/wrong from the incident.

And big ups to those who helped you out afterwards to get you and the poor little scorpio back to home base!

[discotex]

That sucks EJ. Guess you didn't get a chance to stand it up before you levered the tyres off the ground.

Pity about the bike but glad you're ok. Bikes are pretty easy to fix (or buy new). Agree with everyone that says you should get a Hornet or maybe a Bandit if your bike is written off.

[Tank]

if you saw the way EJ eye's up the chrome on my bike - I think he should get a cruiser. And ride it like a Hornet!

Shame on you, don't encourage him. He only needs a whiff of it and he's away. Encouragement I mean

[EJK]

lmao lots of suggestions there!

I called the insurance and they are gonna send me a "Claim Form" which will take days... fill it and send it back... another couple of days, then theres the weekend, aargh!!!!!

after all that, I'll get some news

Lesson learnt!: I shouldn't have bought a new bike!!! faarrkkuuhh!!!!!
I should've bought a used bike and play around till I got some "Knowledge"!!!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH HH!!!!!!!!!!!!1

What a waste of a perfectly good new bike!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now now EJ hates such a harsh word. Perfectly good new bike . That was before you bought it. After that it was the bike formely known as new.

But come on EJ what was the lesson you really learnt ? ................

[EJK]

There are two things that I've learnt that day.

1. Scorpio is a commuter not a sports bike. Don't try to ride beyond it's limit

2. New bike is not a good start for a poor asian like me

Thing is, to get something reliable for all the tripping you do, you would've had to have spent similar money anyway.

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.


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

a) get some stickyer tyres and go try again huh? and kneesliders? or were you planning to dewaterproof your knee?

at least you can ge a new bike and gears for summer. you may have missed the best part of if it had been you up against the curb.

[Chrislost]

gutted!

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

would have been way cooler then seing a vfr highside in grass huh??

[Chrislost]

Dude, I know you've send me some green rep in the past, but if I had the ability to I'd be sending red your way now. This is nothing short of showing off in front of a camera and ending up looking like a fuckwit. To all of you that think it's a great laugh, you're all as bad as the original poster. Grow the fuck up!

why cant i red rep you?

means i have to say it here.

if you dont have anything productive to say about a learned lesson then go hang yourself.

[dipshit]

Well I'll be...!

Yep, we account for 10% of road fatalities yet we only make up 2% of road users.

Of course seeing this thread and how thay all just think that is a bit of harmless fun and a bit of a laugh... it's hardly surprising.

Come on, have a sense of humor.. The "good on ya for getting your knee down" comments are obviously in jest.

Shit happens. People make mistakes when they're riding. Happens to the Rossi's the learners and everyone in between. The fact that EJ is big enough to admit he pushed it too far speaks volumes about his willingness to learn to be a better (and safer) rider.

Maybe by sharing his experience he's actually helping others learn from his mistakes. Had you considered that?

[DUCATI*HARD]

on ya EJ
