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. |

Re: It's happened
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  and therefore be more painful or worse.
