Round a round a roundabout and then I fell off

[falc]

Bah coming home tonight, about 5minutes from home, just had a downpour so taking it easy round the roundabouts, one roundabout with a slight camber and zip the front end just goes on me and im on the deck.

The off was pretty good as far as offs go, frame sliders on it so they took a beating while the bike slid, the rear brake lever snapped off *shock* and a slight scuff on exhaust link pipe but apart from that its all good. Oh and im fine, even my gear looks good.

Done the roundabout many times and took it slowly with bt020 front and rear, just the way it goes I suppose :roll: and a great reminder for everyone to take it easy out there

[21QUEST]

Oh Fook. Glad you are ok.

Not being critical but you were not being too careful , were you? and maybe loading the front just that little bit more.

Cheers

Darn it is very slipy out there at the moment.

I have a 020 on the rear of my bike, never had it before but it spins up realy easy. I find that i am regularly stepping the rear out with constant throttle. Not as good as the Z6.

mate that sux but glad u are ok and the bike is fixable too.

[Quiff Wichard]

hope u oK mate

u werent racing home like a dog with two proverbials cos Tara was waiting now were u boy??? :lol:



oh and as an extra- how much damage u think if u didnt have the crash bungs on??

[$i]

The roundabout he's on about is known for being greasy. My friend spun his company van out in the very same place.

Glad your ok falc. Hope the bike recovers quickly :thumbsup:

[kwak zzr]

:lol: Shes not down with me just yet otherwise that would be a good reason :lol:

Ill get some pics tonight but the main bung was chewed and the rear swingarm one has a bit of damage too, so the swingarm would of been marked. The main damage would be the fairing would of been scuffed/broken, mirror, indicator, screen all broken and then marks on engine casing and frame im guessing

21Quest, I was being careful but dont think I loaded the front too much, if anything I was going up hill slightly due to the camber, also by the way the bike stopped the back end was spun round so whatever was on it got both wheels imo

[Mr Toad]

Sorry to hear this, glad you're OK

I've got a spare R&G swingarm protector/cotton reel if you want it

Though thanks for the offer mr toad, Ill have a look tonight and double check and see how bad the swingarm bobbin is in the light, if its chewed up bad ill take ya up on your offer :D

Out of interest I have got these super slider things http://www.bikesliders.com/ they offer a free replacement on the main puck thing so thats pretty good.

[fizzwheel]

EEK, Glad your OK, bikes are fixable people arent.

Doesnt sound like to much damage though, thank goodness for crash bungs

Take it easy dude.

:shock: Why?

I ride all weathers, only fell foul of the wet roads once, but that was my fault!

[rwoodcock01]

Glad you ok mate! grip was bad on the roads yesterday when it really poured it down, and than it snow while I was out! :shock:

Got home ok, but I have a few moments where I was worried what the bike might do.

Cheers

it ain't that, the main reason is over the years Ive ridden in the wet and i just have no confidence in myself the bike or the tyres and the one off Ive had was in the damp conditions. just prefere 4 wheels when its greasy.

Bad news :( I have BT020's and they always feel really firm in the wet, there must have been something else down (like Diesel). At least you are ok :)

I have a BT020 at the back but never really got to grips with it... The Z6's appeal is really starting to grow on me :?

[keithd]

gald your ok, any crash you walk away from is a blessing , if you get my drift.

[Filipe M.]
