THE main thing to remember when lifting a bike after you've dropped it

[Frosties]

Right then fellas, remember this one.


Set out for work at 5.30am with bugger all on roads. Came to a T junction in town, bit of an angle so you have to stop. Put my right foot down....... onto a drain grate and slowly dropped the mighty Tiger as my foot slid across the grate. Was a bit like watching the Titanic go down......bollox, feck & arse!!!!


Got up, kicked myself around the street for a minute then went to pick bike up. At about 240kg, it's a bit of a lump so a heave, puffing n panting, swearing "get up ya bitch"...heaving and grunting like a hill billy having a wank eventually up it comes to a point where I held it one handed to let it go down onto the side stand..........only I'd forgotten to put the feckin side stand down  . Yep......twwwwwwwwat!!!


Down it goes again on the other side and off I go kicking my arse round the street again swearing like a pikey 


Got it back up eventually and had a fag to get me breath back (I know, Irish isn't it).


So had a look and what would've been 1 bar end and a bent rear brake lever turned ito 2 bar ends off, bent brake and clutch lever and a broken indicator.


It's been probably 10 years since I last dropped a bike and all because you forget the friggin side stand  .


Feel free to take the piss - not that you lot need an invite

With that kinda damage i wouldn't even bother fixing it.


You can get one of these for yourself now instead

[Frosties]

    Cheers Noggy, I asked for that.........I'd have one in a flash.


It's built like a tractor so it's getting fixed like one, hammer and adjustables 

[noggythenog]

Need any help lifting that hammer??????

[Frosties]

    Cheeky fecker  . I wouldn't have minded dropping it if I weighed the same as him but I'm 6'4 and 18 stone - not fat either!

[noggythenog]

Oh shit.......Bri-H made me do it.......kick his head in!

[His Dudeness]

you were just evening out the damage so it would look balanced. makes sense when you think about it

Right then fellas, remember this one.

Oops!

Managed to drop mine a couple of weekends ago. I'd been to an event, got back home knackered and forgot I had the panniers on, so when I pulled into the alleyway behind my place, the right pannier just tapped the wall and...

I dropped my 900 Tiger a couple of times ,top heavy bastid

I dropped my 900 Tiger a couple of times ,top heavy bastid 

Yeah, they can be a bit at very low speeds but when you've stopped....................


Never had to pick this one up before - and to pick it up twice nearly killed me! Heavy bastid aswell.
