Well It Happened..The Bikes Finally Been Dropped
Yep...bout 8 Friday my bike has seen its first scratches. But before you all jump up to laugh (eric) I DIDNT DROP IT!!!! Yep thats right..i didnt do it...i was over my aunts house yesterday..and it was parked in the drive way...Well she needed to go to the store..and decided she would try to move it....well lets say that didnt happen..She ended up moving it..but then it went down a little slope in the drive way and she lost it....so it fell on the right side and scratched it up.. Now i was just on my way up the drive way and i saw it laying there...i couldent believe it.
Well i walked up..and made sure she was alright..cuz hey..the bike can be fixed...well then i proceeded to pick the bike up...amazingly..none of the fairings cracked...their just scratched It seems that my helmet took most of the fall..i had the helmet hanging on my mirror...well the helmet fell with the bike..then the bike fell on top of it..so the front of my helmet..is chipped down to the shell of the helmet.. The hand brake bar is bent in a nice U form lol....But with me...the bike can be fixed..and its still very rideable..but i really just dont feel 100% secure with my helmet...I mean the helmet is made to save you when you fall..you usually dont see people wearing the same helmet they've wrecked with...and guys..the helmet took ALOT of fall yesterday...so im off to get a new helmet Tuesday. Sorry so long..figured id share my exciting day....oh btw..anyone know a good place to get the bike scratches painted etc..? I dont wanna be without it too long. Thanks.

Wow. Touchy situation. Did she offer to pay for anything? Claim it on her insurance? etc...
Oh, and I'd be safe and get a new helmet if you can afford it...

You were luckier than me, I laid my 00 CBR 600 down on wendsday. Turning a corner about 30 mph and hit something the bike didnt like.
Helment is scratched quite bad, leather is ripped and scuffed up, gloves are scuffed, shoes are ripped and my pants now have some holes.
Now for the bike it slid for about 30 feet before it jumped the curb on its side. Front fairing is scuffed on the left(kick stand) side and has a small hole just above the ram air duct, the left side fairing is trashed(severly road rashed) ripped in two places by the stator cover(also trashed) and has one of the mounting bolts pushed right through it. Mirrors and turn signals are gone and the brake lever in bent in a U shape. But amazingly it didnt touch anything else.
As for me because of my riding gear Injuries are minor. Twisted ankle, knee is a little rashed and a fractured middle finger tip.
I rode the bike home though.
Just trying to make ya feel better about a few scratches.
