Dammit...I Crashed.......My Motorcycle.
 

Fml. Right in front of the police station too.
It just stopped raining so I thought I would get gas to go to a lot and practice.
But nooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Im making a turn at a light turning from yellow to red, as I turn, I guess there was oil or something, FWIP, bike slides out and i lowside.
Broke the shifter, and shifter rod. And scratches on the fairing.

Atleast the fairing is ABS plastic.
I can sand down, bondo, prime, sand, paint, and clear to make it like new again.

So so sorry to read this tonight Mr Minsu, you are in my prayers and thoughts....

forum brother -Clifford

Damn that sucks! You have all your gear on right?

Glad your alright man. Sounds like it will be an easy fix. Stay off your bike when the roads are wet!

Only had helmet and leather jacket, everything else was coming, I couldn't resist :/

It wasn't a bad spill at all, it was a lowside at low speeds

Hey just consider yourself lucky you're here posting about it and not in a hospital or worse. Motorcycles spills are no joke. Glad you're alright and the damage doesn't sound too bad.

Sorry to hear it Minsu. Not wishing anything bad on you but I think we all knew this thread was coming sooner or later lol glad to hear you made it okay bud.

Lol like they told me at MSF,

Its not if, its when.

I just didnt think it would be the same day i got my bike HAHAHA.
Fk.

sorry to hear minsu. so you werent hurt at all? only pride? :icon17: ;)

hope you get your bike fixed soon.

Oh my pride tanked. Thank God for helmets, no one knows....and they won't find out right guys! RIGHT!

I am already working on sending a mass email to all your family and friends...

You mean there are more Minsus out there?! O Dear Lord :ugh:

:rofl2:

Water on ground>0= no riding bike.

All the gear All the time.

This was your free one. The next one will likely end up with medical bills. You need to be smarter on a bike. The penalty for a mistake is often death.

Die young and leave a pretty corpse. Don't wait until you are old and wrinkled like me.

:rofl2:

If its your first bike and first time riding, it wa sboudn to happen, luckily you're still upright... learn from it, fix it, and ride safer.

you can always jump? :ugh2:

Awwwwwwwwwwwww! Ninja crew down!! :eek:

Lol, i learned my lesson.
I over-estimated my abilities because i was excited to ride.
damn korean side of me wanted results quick.
FK YOU KOREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

:shakes head:

I remember laying my 1st bike down, when i first started learning how to ride it, I did it on some pine needles, them fvckers are slippery.

What he said. You can actually ride in the wet and at a quick pace, but you shouldn't. Learn your bike like the back of your hand in the dry. Get a feel for how it moves and reacts. Try to avoid rain and wet roads until you get more experience. Take a dirt bike class. A lot of those skills will make you a better street rider.

Your form will be completely different between MX and street. Go take a superbike class at the track not to go faster, but to learn the fundamental skills of controlling a motorcycle.

Keep the rubber side down!

Guilty... I think we all have some type of oops because we are to excited

sorry to hear that dude!

You can still learn about braking/throttle control, being comfortable when the bike is getting squirrely, etc. Plus, the dirt bikes don't smash into a million pieces when you drop them and it's fun. And yes a superbike class is another great option. Glad he's okay!!!

+1 for a track day/superbike class. I BY FAR learned more from 1 track day than I did during my licensing class

Glad to hear that you are ok and just your pride got bruised.

Something no one has mentioned yet but it your helmet hit the ground, throw it away and get a new one. Even dropping it will degrade the integrity of it and the last thing you want to gamble on it your head.

Also, the worst time to ride is right when it starts raining and right after it quits. All the oil and **** in the blacktop just settles on the top and creates for an ice rink.

Ahh yes, my upper body didnt touch the floor, I caught myself with my legs and the bike just slid along. My right leg was swollen thats about it. Helmet was in the air the whole time. And yea I thought it was don't ride as soon as it starts raining not dont ride before and after rain. Lesson learned!

What did the popo said?

Lol they were like, breh u ok?
I was like yep, just waiting for a tow. They didnt care haha.

As someone who's ridden street bikes of all types, for 30+ yrs, I concur.

Well i think he was saying more in that line cause at the moment, it was my first 5 minutes on the bike. And am nowhere near good enough to be in any kind of surface except dry, dry, land.

Glad you're ok. Is now a good time to Recharge my "be careful out there" statement in your last thread?
Be MORE careful out there:tiphat:

Sorry to hear...glad it wasn't any worse.

There are 2 kinds of riders...those who have gone down, and those who will go down. Happens to every one at one point or another. As long as you're ok brotha! Ride safe and don't be stupid and start doing wheelies and stuff........;)

Great advice from the looks of your Avatar :icon17:

Glad your Okay Kid!

Hahaha, rode today and it was awesome.had so much fun, no more crashes for.me
