Okay I didn't actually crash, but its still a painful experience. This morning I was getting ready to go to the gym as usual. Went out to the garage to get my bike, which was sitting pretty on the rear stand. I guess I was still asleep and had a brain fart. I forgot to put the kickstand down when I took the bike of the rear stand. I thought the kickstand was down so I gently lean her over instead she went down. :furious :furious :weeping :weeping :slapcry Luckily the frame sliders did its job, but there is still a scratch. You guys think it can be buffed out?

That sucks the BONE! :weeping

Total bummer, 'bro, looks like your got it down to the underlying plastic. Dunno how well it would buff out, but give it a shot.... worse comes to worse, apply a kick-ass sticker to the affected region until you can re-paint it proper. :D

Ouch man that sucks =(

Sorry to here that mate,

Just remember that, it was better than you being on the bike and crashing.




But I love that expression " BRAIN FART " :lol

man that sucks ....... i did the same thing on my last r6 :weeping

at least the frame sliders saved everything on that so i had no scratches but ya shit happens and its always something stupid.

Man it was so stupid and I felt like an idiot! I kept thinking about it. Oh well, I brought my bike to a detail shop and the owner said he could fix it up.

Coolness..... :thumbup

You got before and after pics? Plus everything is better with a good buffing.

I did that once. Luckily I caught it in time. Just be thankful that that was the only damage. I don't know about buffing it out. It doesn't look too bad so it's possible. :shrug

Hi All, i'd like to share one of my experiences with you, however embarrasing - as i feel the more stories that there are out there about accidents, the less people might have....

A couple of months ago, I had the flu, and had it for about 3 weeks....was sick of being sick, and sick of staying home - so i got the bike out of the garage and took off.... 150 klms later I was up in the blue mountains (west of Sydney) and had forgotten to put the lining in the jacket.....long story short, I was cold, sick, and attempting to throw my bike through some twisty stuff....the road was wet, I had a new Pirelli Diablo on the back that wasnt quite worn in, and apparently a death wish....I took an off camber corner to close to the centre line, didnt lean enough and ended up looking for a 'way out' - I didnt want to put my baby down on the road, and there looked to be some nice soft mud and grass on the side of the road - so off I went - and as soon as my tires hit the mud, so did I....not before my shoulder & head hit the ashphalt....good bye helmet,....the bike suffered 3500 dollars worth of damaged fairing, and i bruised my ego.... and thats my story

wow sorry to hear about that.

These photo's and post are really great thank you to all of you who have posted these once please i would request you to share some more on this forum
