Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

When a bike goes down it is not just a sin against god, it is a sin against nature and all things I hold dear.

This morning, at 8:02 AM Shaniqua and I were riding down kings way and were braking and turning right to go into the safety lane just before Albert road when a nasty little smooth stick reduced friction between the rubber and the road. Shanique neighed with fear as she bucked me off. I landed in the lane of oncoming traffic and lay there stunned for a few seconds before retrieving my black beauty. Luckily the oncoming traffic had only just started moving and I was not in any danger of losing more than a few layers of skin and my pride.
Stupid stick! I will kill you!

Oh, forgot to mention the damage.
Mirror came off, scratches on 3 panels, handle end, break lever is bent, muffler has a minor scratch. Sore knee. Damaged pride.

dont owrry bout it stereo, ive nearly had an extension cord bring me undone in my work car park... it was parrallel with my path of travel until i had to cross its path to go up the ramp.

i didnt see it as it was a grey extension cord on a concrete floor...

nice name for the bike by the way

mental note........avoid sticks
Not good news about Shaniqua & at least you could limp away without too much damage

Damn i might have to look out for these sticks.

Bugger Stereo...

Glad to hear you're relatively okay though.

*cry* maaaah babyyy!!!

it's amazing what can bring us unstuck!!!!

glad to hear your ok

Wow, you posted this 3 minutes before the 'incident ' actually happened
If you have some sort of time travel device, I recommend you go back a bit & remove the stick... as long as you don't upset the time/space continuum & make the Earth implode or something.
Then I'll need to borrow it for a while, there was this hot chick years ago that I could've ...
Seriously though... BUMMER I bet the stick was uninsured too, they've never got any money.

"A stick took my ba...by"

Bad luck Stereo but at least you got out of it fairly lightly. On the brighter side...looks like it's mod time.

Ok, so I travelled back in time and removed the stick... But the accident still happened... this time I slid on a rock. So I went back in time again and removed the rock and I fell on some sand.... so I went back again and removed the sand and swept the road clean and everything and the accident still happened although I couldnt find a reason... I think its just fate....

Also, the clock on the forum is out by an hour.

Sorry to hear about the off Eelco, never good. Hope the fix up is easy, your pride will recover soon.

I wood have thought your tyres were more sticky than that

PS. Do you still need me to bring the compressor around, and when?
