yeah them there NEW gixer thousands are reknowned to enter turns too late, useless peices of crap HANDLE like crap,
if you spent half as much effort in riding instead of worrying what you look like, you would have a bike with a fairing...
But who needs fairings, fairings are for whimps...

what!!!???

worrying what i look like was joke... i never intended to wear the scarf since i know it can get in my face. it might work on straights but it'd be scary when turning.

like i said, i was practicing delayed apex to improve my cornering skills but got caught in loose gravel.

So it was the corners fault you crashed. The sooner you stop externalising, the sooner you become a better rider.

I think I'll have to invest in a Ural sidecar unit to accomodate my constant companion.

nope, it is my fault, i clearly stated that in my blog here.

im just saying my accident has nothing to do w/ how much power my bike has, which some people assume. i would have crashed on that situation no matter what bike im using.
