I broke the bike AGAIN!

I'm gonna go cry in the corner, I seriously am nearly moved to tears.

Just cleaned the bike and bang, over she went. Am so gutted. Broke the gear lever AGAIN, and where the crash bung is off the bracket its split the fairing so at some point its new lower fairing.

.... Chris lifted it and has fixed what can be fixed. Put the Pazzo on that he had so I can ride it to Crescents and get another lever in the morning. I couldn't move as I was physically shaking.

When i dropped mine (at 0mph!!) i just sat and cried, not cos i was hurt, but because i'd scratched the bike. I know how youre feeling, org hug

I have grown to laugh at myself now to be honest. Dropped it twice now whilst not moving, once incredibly stupidly in glossop in a que of traffic with a mass or orgers all around me.

You aint had the best of luck lately...front coil, now this...rabbits foot for luck & a paddock stand might help when cleaning

Ah man, what a bummer
I am really paranoid about mine on the stand, hence the reason for a paddock stand, so much safer.
Least you had no tarmac tattoos to go with it

Dont beat yourself up about it, its easily done.

Did it once with my SV when the stand pinged up as i hadn't kicked it down fully. Miraculously managed to throw myself under the bike and catch it about 2 inches off the floor. Never moved so fast in my life!

Been there, done that, so mucho sympathy.

I managed to gouge a big spot out of the paint on the fairing the other day which I'd had resprayed last year. Now having to have that sprayed again.

Plus I'd marked the paint on my freshly painted mudguard.

Cheaper to get thr fairing repaired & sprayed. SvRory knows how

only dropped a bike once and that was my dad's 250 dt scrambler when i was about 15 i got such a shouting at i've never dared dropping a bike again lol i know the feeling though gut wrenching.
