i dropped my bike...

#1 Unread post by VermilionX »

yes, i dropped it.

it was a very dumb mistake...

i was about to park my bike on the canyons. i went through some gravel w/ too much speed. totally lost the front and BAM! it dropped and slid since it was downhill. i actually felt my feet get in between the bike and ground but i wasn't hurt. got up immediately and cursed at my stupidity.

bike's right side got scratched up and my frame slider got bent. no plastic was broken this time though.

anyway, got some pics here from the ride.

christian's R6 w/ my bike.

interesting thing... christian was also the person i rode w/ when i crashed in the canyons on my previous bike.

but overall, it was a very fun ride minus my stupid mistake.

Alright, ten bucks says it gets stolen in the next three weeks and you end up buying a Gixxer 600.

Nah Verm won't be able to afford even the GSXR 600 when the 750 gets stolen. Id say he'll end up with the Kawasaki EX500.. finally! A beginner bike for a beginner rider! :laughing:

hate to break it to you but if your frame slider bent then your frame probably bent too.

i did look at it... doesn't look bent. but i'll find out for sure once i bring it to my mechanic.

if it bent my frame... i might never use frame sliders again. bent frame is much worse than broken plastics.

bingo, frame sliders do more harm than good if your going faster than about 5mph. They help reduce fairing damage in minor drops but can cause frame damage in a crash at speed.

I would look into going with race plastics now. Hell maybe just turn it into a track bike.
