Gutted, picked it up yesterday, realised it had the wrong tyre on it went to go and get it changed spun out from under me at the end off the road!!! New the tyre was cooked. grrrrrrrrrrrr

 

Unlucky mate - you ok though?

 

Oh shit!

You ok? much damage to the bike?

 

Aye thanks, just my pride!!!!

Was only pulling out of the junction at end of my road!

 

how bad does a tyre have to be to make the bike go from under if you were only puilling out?

at least you weren hurt

 

Shit mate...so easily done though on a new tyre

 

At least you werent doing any sort of speed!

I can remember when i dropped my littel ZXR400 in front of a load of people, i got stuck underneath the bloody thing... scratched all my clutch casing, side fairing and snapped me wing mirror off, but i didnt care about any of that, it was just the fact that about 50 people saw me do it cos i was in the middle of the high street!

 

Mines ok as i had a full set of R+G bobbins on it, it has broken the front brake lever, rear brake lever, scratched my new stubby exhaust! grrrrrr

The tyre wasnt new, it was old, plenty of life left in it, but it was meant to be a 190 profile not a 180......i think he had a smaller one on to turn in quicker on the track......and it was cooked on the right hand side! (knockhill)

i have just ordered all the new R+G bobbins !! And i have a mate that has a breaking r1 so i can get the levers! still an but of a bstd though.

 

 

thats wank mate gutted for you but on the brighter side could of been alot worse

 

well least you had bobbins fitted pal ,could have been a lot worse sounds like it was only your pride and the lever that hurt
my pal knocked a brand new gsxr 07 plate over in the showroom by us now that WAS funny rotflma
had more or less zero miles on it lol and needed a new fairing as the bikes pegs on the bike next to it obliterated them heee

 

Mate forget the bike least your ok they all can be replaced

ooooops!

 

Crist Porkie is a lucky man...

Not only are you into cars, you ride motorbikes as well...!!

 

sorry, but knowing that your tyre was bolloxed and in this kind of temperature with that type of tyre you should have been riding extremely cautiously. personally, i would not have ridden it like that - i would have either taken the wheel out to take to a tyre place or get a mobile tyre fitter in. easy to say after the event i know

how fast were you going really as those bobbins look more damaged than an off from just pulling away gently

 

Honestly, i was pulling out of the junction, turning right, cant believe it myself, they look really knackered but i suppose thats them doing their job???
Oh, i might add that when you turn right you start to drive downhill.....maybe thats why it slid quite far. Dunno, but hindsights a bitch eh!

 

2 wheels in my opinion are better than 4! but i dont have a bike at the minute..... hopefully will have soon thought if i save enough pennies!

 

You can come and have a shot of one of mine sweetheart!

 

ooooohhh youre a tad far away though!!!!!

but thankya for the offer!

 

Bike's are baaaad.... I won't ever back on one after my accident

Glad you're ok chap

 

Bikes are goooooooooooooooood!!!

 

Yeah - bikes are cool. I stopped riding them back in 2000. Did 5000 miles riding a brand new R1 like I stole it. Decided my license and most probably most life were going to be lost so I got rid of it and swore blind I would never ride one on the road agian....

However, recently I have been getting the earge to buy another! Something 2 stroke and retro like an RG500 or better still an RGV250/RS250 with an RG500 engine fitted. Compared to cars they are so cheap and even more imprtantly easier to work on......hmmmm - most resist...!lol

 

Not when you come off a crosser mid air they aint!!


That hurt, was doing 45/50mph

 

I think Rob told me about that

Iirc was it not Gaz's? or am i completely wrong?

 

not when your mates head gets crushed by an oncomming lorry

 

Shame somebody caught the whole event on camera

Yeah thats it...

 

PICS

 

Brand new as well it was you bastard

 

Dan, was years ago, 6, maybe 7 years..?


Jade, pretty much, had under 100 miles on it though...

 

No admitedly they arent so good when that happens.

 

Im not a bike fan either.....

Matt on the other hand is LOL

 

Was previous tyre owner not very confident around Knockhill?
The directional arrow has not even been scrubbed

 

My mate came off his GSXR at 15mph at a junction.
Maybe you could do with these.

 

Good to hear your ok and bike only has a few scars.

Here's mine from when the wee ball on the end of the footpeg dug in and spat me off at knockhill hairpin lol. Was on the phone to a mate who was Scottish champ and he warned me before it lol



First bike too

 

its all about luck. i come off at about 130-140 slid annd rolled for wot felt like for ever, then jumped up with just a few grazes and bad wrists. and i'd just over taken my mate in his car and he and a few mates saw it all, they thought i was dead, even tho i got away with it i wont go on 1 again.


speed dosent kill its the sunden stop that does

 

i HATE bike threads at this time of year! Argghhhh

unlucky mate least ya ok

 

Been there! i came off at 130 ish did a few rolls etc got up and ran over to the bike to pick it up! Daft thing was i was chasing my dad as he was getting away from me! Just a pain this was a t5-10 and cost me another couple of hundred for something so stupid......

 

unlucky cutch, i got spat off outside my parents house, just fitted a new pair of Pirelli Diablo's to my old SRAD and nipped out into a gap in the traffic, the back tyre didnt grip too well on the white lines in the middle of the road

The previous accident was a bit more serious bike cranked over round a left hander... subsidence mid-bend... tank slapper... ran wide... fence... smashed arm
