Ok. Had my second BM meet today. All went well apart from one Tiny little thing. Pulled up on the slope kicked the stand down (Well i thought i kicked the stand down) went to get off and oh my god my bike fell onto another bike and knocked that on the floor as well as mine hitting the floor.:w00t:
In front of everybody.:w00t:
If i had a shovel i could have dug myself a hole. What a plonker. The good news is after dropping it riding home for some strange reason i felt so much more confident on it. I think the fear of me dropping it was stopping me relaxing when riding it. Ok for the damage a slight scuff mark under the nearside pannier. Thats it on my bike. now the other bike i knocked over a damaged mirror. Thats all. So should i now call myself lucky Rob or what.
Dude you thought the scuff was the 125 you took out with those panniers!! Seriously though great that you got off lightly with just a few scuffs as it made a he’ll of a noise, but defo take the prize of best entry at BM!
oh lordy i was trying not to laff when i saw you under your bike. sorry mate. xatleast both bikes were pretty much ok, you certainly made an entrance!:w00t:
sorry to hear you did that, must have been such a blushing moment.
Check out anne-maries comments on this thread nearer to the bottom, i did this not only on the test, but in front of work colleagues too. 100% sympathy mate, and i swear… i only grinned when i read this, i didnt laugh really loud
Yes i am a newbie. Yes i am a novice. We all start somewhere. I am in this to the end.
You never know. You just never know. One day I will become a London-biker:D.
Oh and by the way i will be fitting the tiger lowering kit asap. Also trying to find a way of getting a knub fitted to the side stand. As the stand is not good. A accident thats been waiting to happen.
So I will look forward to seeing you all at the next meet;).
Sorry to hear that Rob…although now I really do wish I’d been there last night
Seriously though - really glad you didn’t do any serious damage - I remember you saying how gutted you’d be if you ever dropped and seriously marked it. As you know, i dropped mine within a week of buying it brand new - and now it has crash bars just in case!! Phil
I’ve dropped the riding school bikes plenty of times I even dropped a bike on a test ride when the side stand caved in, luckily no damage! :w00t:
Going on accidents, I bought a brand new bike and let my brother have a shot on it after being only 3 days old and he managed to ride it into a wall!! :crazy: I had holes in my fairings as a result, not good.
I’ll see you at the next BM but won’t be parking up next to you though :D:D:D
We should have an LB award for it 
sorry mate. xatleast both bikes were pretty much ok, you certainly made an entrance!:w00t:
