DROPPED IT!!!

Post by ZX10R King »

Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later, I got too confident.

Putting bike on rear stand this morning to give it a bath, missed theright hand side spool, and before I knew it, the bike was down.

Anyway, I managed to lift her up, and place on side stand again. Checked for damage, nothing too bad, just a few more scratches on the fairing and a broken indicator lens.

And yes, I did manage to get it on the stand eventually, and gave it a wash.

Bummer but better a drop than a crash at least...

You got off lucky mate.
If you have no fear, you're not going fast enough.
Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, then beat you with experience.

Well, after riding out to QR today, and pulling in at Brett's for a coffee on way home, found my front brake light switch was sticking on. Removed front brake lever, and found a small crack, right near the pivot point. Fortunately, I had a spare lever, put this on, and the brake light switch is back to normal

As an aside: Murphy's law states that any new motorcycle will receive a scratch or other blemish in approximately one nanosecond of ownership :idea:
Motorcycle's are inherently unstable... :twisted:
