It's happened
 
Had my first off on the road this morning... Not on the SV. On my longterm YZF-R125. Gutted

Practically the entire route to work and back is a major bus route, so when it's wet there's diesel everywhere. Pulling up to the second to last roundabout from work, when I apply the brakes to slow my speed to walking pace and down she goes.

No warning whatsoever. The front just went really fast... Didn't have a hope of catching it.

Left fairing panel scratched and bent gear selector is all the damage I can see so far which isn't too bad.

Just glad it wasn't the SV.

Was bound to happen soon enough.

No I'm fine... just a bit gutted really...
I was thinking about fitting crash bungs as well ... Definitely getting some for the SV

Unlucky :( at least it wasnt a serious one.

I'm still awaiting my first proper **** to tarmac moment.....although the longer I go without it, I fear it will happen at a faster pace :mad: and therefore be more painful or worse.

Took me five years, it was more embarrassing than painful, and I'd have prefererred an ass to tarmac rather than head:rolleyes:
