I have a spare crash knob if you need it.
Thanks heaps for that Blurr- I think my crash has another use in it though (hopefully I'll never need to find out!)

Wendy I am glad that your pride and joy is ok! I own my Z a few times over as well, unfortunately, but Oggies really saved the day.
Cheers,
Anne

Bugger, that sucks

I never bother trying to save it. Its only a bike so I just let the damn thing fall, I'd rather not hurt myself trying to catch it.

(Having said that, it's not a nice shiny new bike either)

The Gixxer is fine and my pride has healed for now- looking forward to getting back on if the rain ever stops up here! :roll:

Riding in the rain doesn't bother me at all, but the blood tests/ xrays I had done this week do- I have bronchitis, scaring in my lungs from coughing for 6 weeks, low iron levels, glandular fever etc, etc.......

no wonder it was hard to hold my bike up last weekend. Riding in the rain maybe not a great idea right now me thinks! :lol:

Hope you're feeling better soon and sorry to hear about the drop. Sucks, doesn't it :(

I practically kissed my Oggs when I came off. The road ground off about half of the crash and my mirror and bar end got scratched up, but apart form a small scrape, may fairings were fine - without the crash they would've been throw-aways without a doubt!

Sorry to hear you're Ill Wendy, take it easy and hope you feel better soon.

You story inspired me to look at oggys for the 10, $320 :shock: But I suppose that's cheaper than the repair of even minor fairing damage.

Oggys for the CBR are chearer at $!20, but need a big hole cut in the fairings - which defeats the point to me. As it's a race bike I may look into them too as some point.

My oggys were about the same price Mike, but believe me it is an investment worth every cent!

My ZZR was the same- needed holes cut in the fairings to accomodate them.

good to see no real damage there ;)

I know how you feel though..... first week having the ZRX..... I almost dropped it in my garage..... I thought the side stand had locked down..... when i got off.... and went to lean it over a bit.... it kept going...... i held it all the way.... and kept it just off the ground.... and managed to lift it back up without it touching down.... but damn it was heavy! since then, I have been uber careful ;) Kinda funny afterwards though!

I bought a set of crash's for the 10 only 2 weeks ago and only paid $250 from BikeBIz although I was then paid out on by Pete (Kaneg)when he helped me fit them and a few other things because he sells the none crash branded sliders for $80 a set.
