So cleaned the bike earlier then took it out for a ride. Got the end of my road and spun the rear wheel up and it spat me off! Only travelling at 2mph but with the combination of new tyre and cleaning fluid not rinsed properly this was the end result;





Arse!!

Bad luck that mate, as long as you weren't hurt is all that matters.
Are you're crash bungs made of putty cos there's a fair amount of material gone for just 2 mph!

I thought that but they're R&G ones! Looking at the marks on the road it has slid maybe 10yds and done a 180. I think it must have pushed itself around before cutting out

bad luck and easily done 

Sometimes I wish we didn't have to learn the hard way

"Crash Bungs" are really frame protectors , they aren't designed to save the bodywork

And in that respect they did a great job! No damage to the engine casings, frame or subframe! Never really liked them until now as they spoil the look of the bike but they've changed my mind for me!!

Is it even possible to spoil the look of a Barra

Never nice to see someones pride n joy in that state - Good to here you didn't damage yourself in the process.
