Saturday was not a good day - I dropped my bike       

Absolutely gutted!!

I went for a ride to Southwold with a couple of friends and with my son on the back. Got him off, went to put side stand down, had stopped on a bit of road with camber, side stand is just too bloody long and would not kick out, leaned bike over further to right and ooops TOO FAR - bike on floor

fuck fuck fuckety fuck is what I said

picked it up with some help and now it has matching scratches on both sides (been dropped before i had it) nothing was actually broken, but the mirror and bar end are scraped along with the fairing and it hit the ground where there was a bit of engine casing bolt under it, so more of a lump on the fairing from the inside rather than a scrape.

Gutted gutted gutted, kicked myself several times

guy i was with was amazed i went and told everyone, but hey ho, what can ya do, shit happens

[allsorts]

Gutted 4 u Lisa

I keep dropping mine off the sidestand & paddock stand,not taking enough care...
Impatient bastard me.,,
I'm always tinkering u see & each time I seem to break somethin...
Can't be all me tho' cannit?

Next bike I'm not gonna fiddle with,just gonna ride the fecker

P.S Crash bungs help but something will always get scratched,Its a fact of ZX life

[Andy J]

doh......... at least you are both ok ,what's a few scratches anyhow  

[zx10r bob]

OOOooooo No.........thats just pants..........i feel your pain as i came of mine not to long ago.........its the feeling of being usless as it hits the floor, you feel as if all you want to do is throw your self under the bike to stop it hitting the tarmac..............well at least you are fine..........and the paint work can be repaired.....chin up girl....

[silky22]

  a few scratches will make it look well'ard anyhow lisa 

[Loopelisa]

cheers guys, but im still gutted, its my most prized possession and i hurt it

[Chrisblack10r]

you stupid girl







only kidding hun, gutted for you but as long as everyone is good then its only metal and plastic 

[RedRock]

Gutted for you Lisa, my wife deecribed the scratches on her ZZR600 as "courier chique"

[Nutz]

Don't beat your self up, I have done the same and I know how much of a unt I felt when I dropped mine.

[topbanana0]

Think I would cry, my mate dropped his GSXR while putting fuel in it, on the way back from picking it up from the showroom, brand new

Lisa listen have a good friend who works at Dream Machine and can get you mates rates to repair and paint panels, Have done a few jobs for forum members who can vouch for work. Will PM you my number, if interested and want more info just call or txt.

Cheers Horse.

i think even more sickening then dropping it is the feeling you get when you reach that point and you know its going down and theres nothing you can do about it and instantly all the worst possible outcomes flash through your mind 

[David154]

Oh no! feel for you..but we've all been there, Im paranoid about these long 10 stands & take extra care parking up. Glad youre ok and hope it won't be too expensive to fix

[johnmoz]

Whats up with you lot on here just because she is a girl what a muppet lisa if any of my mates had done that we would be taking the p*ss for the next 10 years try some thing a bit smaller lisa if its to big, [rofl]glad you and your son are alright thou 

[Wh|t3R@bb|t]

Oh no...that sucks!

TBH, it doesn't really class as a Spill.  The fact the 06/07 sidestand is about as useful as Chocolate fire guard can't be avoided.  I nearly dropped mine in a garage forecourt the day I rode it back from the dealer and ended up putting a scratch in the tank about 10 inches long trying to save it. So I feel you pain.

I am sure in future you will be more than aware of any camber when you next put the bike down.  I had my side stand and don't trust it at all, even in my 100% flat garage.

Nothing major and other than ego, a few minor scratches.  If you want em spraying speak to the Asthmatic Pit Pony, he'll sort you out!!
