Being a hooligan with some buddies and ended up shiny side down. I had to show of and go bigger went 12 o'clock and caught it with the back brake came down to late and I was on the sholder in gravel. I couldn't save it and dropped it on her side at a pretty low speed. Overall it came out pretty good a quarter sized scuff on the tank bent bars, front an rear brake, slider, and radiator guard are beat up. Shit happens when your messing around I was pissed but it could have been way worse. Sorry to anyone that might have been interested in the tank.

Now I can justify getting new parts though.

Easton bars
Levers
Rearsets
Carbon parts(radiator covers)
Retro kit

Does anyone know the non adjustable rearsets someone was talking about not to long ago I think they were a good price. I can't justify spending 6-8 hundred on them.
 
Stupid hurts .... too bad there isn't any video you could send to "World's dumbest stunt drivers" series. Seriously, even though you are ok it puts all riders in a bad light ..... even on private property you often end up in the emergency room.

It doesn't put any riders in a bad light. I was properly geared up in a location that would harm no one but myself. If your going to buy a motorcycle to putt around on why not go buy a electric commuter car or a scooter. It's a sports bike its ment to be used. Im aware that I can lay it down and I'm not the jackass doing 100 mph wheelies down the freeway to splatter my brains on the back of a semi. Thanks or the comment though:)
 
I recent watched a stuntrider showing his tricks and was impressed on what one can do with a motorbike, giving a lots of practice and no fear to fall/drop the bike...I'd love to learn that as well but indeed would only start to learn on a safe place where no other are potentially at harm...also I would put some kinda enhanced drop protection as they use on riding school bikes...
 
Nothing wrong with stunting as long as you're geared up and not on busy roads. Some of the shit they do is just badass- i'd love to try it, but I don't have the money for a beater bike :)
