Re: bummer - alan sherman - 06-03-12
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
Re: bummer - Chillum - 07-03-12
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.
