Shit! Sorry to hear it man - I gotta say that KSRC is setting some serious benchmarks this year for riders down - we've set the bar already for 2007 so let's all aim to take a running slide under it next year, shall we?
I really can't help you fix your bike in any way at all, though, mate... but if you need your net fixed, let me know
Listening to you is like being bukkaked with stupid.
2000 Silver ZX2R C-Model - DESTROYED
Looking for a new steed for the new year - preferably a 7 or a 9 - PM ME!
Sorry to hear mate. If it's any consulation I stacked it at an entrance to an air force base - so was all captured on CCTV
The guard laughed when I wheeled the remains onto the camp and said "You didn't want to do that"... Yeah thanks mate.
Man people are 'coming out' left right and centre !! I thought being crud was rare as - hehe.

if I can help at all sing out, I'd be more than happy to.
I hope you didn't damage the magical bannana's in pyjama's leathers
You can help by keeping an eye out for any cheap-o ZX6R's at auctions for me Need a trackie ey. Thankfully the leathers pulled through okay ('bugger' I hear everyone whisper in the background)

Yeah I was thinking that the other day, was half confident that I wouldn't add to the already staggering statistics.
I was wearing sneakers and the loop of the shoe-string had gotten stuck around the footpeg..... I stopped, went to put my foot down.... slow fall over with me trying to stop it...
It was at a motorcycle shop and at least 10 people saw it happen....
i almost fell over doing that stereo, but it was a shoelace on the sidestand, i managed to flick the sidestand out with my toe AND lean my entire body off the left of the bike and it just came back and rested on the sidestand.
That was in the courtyard of my units, just outside my garage..
Yep any accident you walk away from is a good one.
A mate of mine dropped his 06 R1 at a T intersection on new tyres this week, I always picked him for the type that would cartwheel is bike off a turn at 3 times the posted speed limit in a ball of fire....not doing a gumby 20kph lowside while old ladies look on.
He okay tho...if not a little embarrased.

My 2 drops were at very low speeds.. well no speed to be exact, first was me slipping on the mouldy pavers, not used to the weight of the bike. Second was me coming back from a decent ride down the highway and back, legs were cramping up, I wasn't used to the riding position. Put the foot down and it gave out from under me. Minor dmg, replaced mirror and rhs footpeg/brake bracket.
Well if its confession time.... I've dropped mine 6 times in the 2.5 years I've had him and 3 of those were 0km/hr - some of you will know about my LACK OF leg length which has been a contributing factor...
I used to be overcome with shame and embarrassment, but I'm over it now. Its really sad for my poor bike, but he's held up rather well considering.
I can't believe I just spilled all that....
Just get back on and ride the sucker, let him know who's boss Oh, and pray that no-one saw it happen...
1996 Yamaha Virago 250 - yeah really

Miss ZZR -> yer don't worry it's getting ridden the way it deserves to be ridden for falling over on me
I just double checked a few things on my bike the other day, tyre pressure on the front was down to about 27, rear was about 32 ... certainly doesn't help does it !
Aardy -> people are always talking up their accidents i just left like talking mine down a bit. 'Twas lame .... so very lame. At least it'll give you guys something other than banana-man jokes to make 'bout me - hehehe.
nearly dropped the gpx last night by forgetting to put the sidestand down. got the initial lean to get off happening, then glanced to make sure, and oh-dear i better straighten her up before i hate myself for my stupidity.
