.......cause I was taken out by a friggin scooter!!

He must have failed to see my indicator flashing to say I was turning left; he must have also missed the fact that I was slowing down.

Thank god for the crash knob, it took all the damage and the only mark to the bike in on the exhaust.

On the up side I was very impressed that I managed to pick the bike up all by myself.

My knee hurts like hell, but the cut will probably leave a sexy scar.

Stay the right way up guys......and avoid a scooter missing a mirror, indicator and paintwork.

Sorry to hear champ...

I hope you heal up soon.

Sorry to hear Lozza....

I dropped my last night too... and I dont have crash's - going in to be fixed and crash's are goin on...

Don't talk to me about scooter riders

Glad you and the bike are OK!

Dam bloody scooters

Glad you and the bike are ok

Thanks guys.

Kelly you should invest in a set, they sure saved a lot of heart ache...I was preparing for the worst when I pick it up and was totally shocked when there was no damage.

Nope if you want to talk to someone here about scooter riders Vinnie Diesel is your man!! Glad to hear it's not too bad all up Lozza.

woo hoo...feels good when sumthin shit happens & u realise theres no damage...LUCKY...

shame abt the can- probably one of the dearest parts to replace..

good ur ok tho..chin up...

So how long have you owned your bike now? So far it has been nearly stolen and run into by a scooter..... I think you should get a catholic priest to remove the evil spirits hehe

Great work though, I havent dropped a bike recently, but the crash knobs have already helped me avoid damage a few times...

I Know I know....I was thinking this morning about all the dramas I've have since I brought it early October. What annoys me, is the damage that has been done, has been caused by others!

warning...scooter riders are car drivers who can't/won't get a bike licence

and they ride zactly the same way they drive


I avoid 'em like the plague

Bugger! Hope your knee is Ok soon! Oggys are great. I dropped my ER6F when it was about 6 weeks old and the only damage was the clutch lever (very impressed.) Chalk it up to experience.... everyone else on the road is out to get us......

Oggys are worth their weight in gold! My bike went down fairly hard a few months ago, after it stalled in a u-turn on the side of a hill, and there was no damage to it! .

Lozza, glad to hear that both you and the bike got away with minimal damage.
