It's all your fault! - SV650.org

Haven't visited SV.org for a bit but decided to this morning before going out for a ride. Started reading threads on best first mods and R&G crash bungs. Thought to myself 'fitted mine months ago but never dropped the bike, expensive mod and never used it'.

Five minutes later turning the bike around on a hill, foot goes down but nothing there and bike topples. No damage to front end of bike, damaged LH side tail panel. Slightly damaged pride

Wouldn't have happened if I hadn't read this site

Anyone got a spare K5 blue LH side tail sitting around?

Oops. I don't think you can blame us or the site though...

I would be blaming the most likely culprit... what's his name again?....

Ah yes... got it...

SOD'S LAW.

This is ur FIRST drop????

Welcome to the club.

I've dropped EVERY bike I've ridden (except one... Mumstoy's training er5)

Drop history:
Mate's bike - he let me have a go MANY years ago in a pub car park. Slow going, oops over we go....

CG125 on DAS day 1 - kerb fixation. Boing!!! Oops, over we go...

er5 on DAS - drops.... er... 4?.... heheheheheheheheh... mainly flop-crunches... got stuck under it once. DAS instructor had to come and pick it up off me.

My bf's fazer600 - practicing slow control in a carpark... went over, throttle stuck open and it lay there on it's side doing slow donuts 'til bf came charging over and hit the kill switch. Did wonder's for the chicken strips on ONE side....

My poor long suffering sv 'Roger' - erm... 4 times so far.. once on my car. Roger won that particular bout...

So... worry not!
