Ooops dropped the bike last night trying to get it out of the garden 0mph bad turn and lump to get over slow motion bike slowly going onto its side no plastic cracking noise as straight down onto mud :lol but now annoying vibrating rattle from top fairing :'( no signs of plastics broken etc will look tonight when I get home
-
ive only dropped my fazer once, i felt like crying. :'(
i dropped it on concerete but i put her down slow so was o.k - my back took the brunt of it :)
-
Done that - horrible feeling. Hope it's all ok when you look tonight.

I dropped both my bikes, one Friday after another, in the same place, for totaly different reasons...Now thats a bad week :lol
Both bikes were ok though
-
ouch too dark for me to take pics but at least nothing is broken except my pride :(
-
The first time mine went over I broke a mirror. That was nothing compared to pulling my back when picking the thing up! I couldn't sit forward in a chair for a week. I had to roll off onto the floor and get up from my hands and knees. It was horrible - like a week of being madders' missus...

That happened the second time mine fell over :(
Despite having the suspension lowered twice and the seat cut down I still can't flat-foot it so I'm now *very* careful about letting it lean too far.
Even then I still managed the embarassing cock-up of, whilst trying to do a u-turn on a hill, dropping it whilst on an IAM Observed Ride...!! :o

I'm lucky like that...being lanky i can anything and touch the floor on anything i ride (well, maybe not a horse). Mind you...I've still dropped bikes :o
As for U-Turns on hills.....no thanks. my bikes worth to much to do that ;)

I'm 5'7" with a 30" inside leg. The real bugger is that the FZ6 doesn't come with the dog-bones the old Fazer came with, so to really lower the suspension means paying about £400 for a Hagon shock or some other silly price for a shorter connector to go between the shock and the bike :(

My first bike drop was the ER500 outside the test center in Cambridge when I took my first test, with everyone inside who was waiting to take their test looking out the window at me and laughing.
Bastards.
:D
