Just pick up a 2008 Yamaha R6... I LOVE IT! .. owned less then 24hrs, have less then 30miles.... i went side ways , hit the side walk and the bike flip a few times.. now i drive my hatch again....

Let me guess, it was the tires fault?

found a pic of him off his myspace for ya

 

Sorry, actually I shouldn't talk, watch I'll dump my bike the first time throw my leg over it

So what was the cause of the crash?

 

let me guess, no helmet or gear?

 

damn that sucks bro, get it back together and this time be more careful. you're lucky it was just your bike and not your life. a mistake is only a mistake if you don't learn from the experience. it's not the end of the world most people drop their bikes. they atleast usually wait a couple days before dumping it

 

less than 30 miles..

so your tire wasnt scrubbed in, you tried to give it too much lean angle, and then you gas'd it too early with too much aggressiveness - which consequently made you get 'sideways'.


so is it total'd or what? im not flaming you, but what a bonehead move. sounds like you don't know anything about what you're doing... pretty ballsy to risk your life eh? maybe this will be your lesson to think next time.

lol

sorry to hear that. good luck

 

Gotta scrub them tires up!

Sorry man, hope you can get it fixed up (and hopefully your not making payments on a wrecked bike)

 

How bad is the bike? But more importantly are you ok? I dropped a bike today too, before everyone gets out their flamethrowers, I would just like to admit that my accident was 100% user error.

It was a 2000 cbr and its my friends old bike. He lets/ me take out out whenever I want. Its pretty beat up, so I use it to gain some xp points. Anyways I was done riding for today and was pulling up to his drive way. Its uphill at ruffly 15% grade and its not paved, so rocks and dirt is what I have to go up about 150 feet. I pulled in in first and quickly went into second anticipating major traction loss. I was going about ~10 mph at this point. The road gets more steep and I was forced to apply more throttle to keep balance as I was going up. I steady add throttle, but the combination of high gear along with the steep hill climb makes me loose balance at which point i try to regain it up speeding up. The tires break loose and Im going sideways. The bike then makes a complete 180 and falls over on my right leg at no more than 5 mph. Because its so steep, I begin to slide down while still under the bike. I come to a complete stop and pick up the bike noticing that the brake handle was snapped. I call the owner, and hes the coolest guy alive, saying that its no big deal and that I should just be more careful next time..

Moral of the story is that I'm still a noob on two wheels and that the mistake cost me a scraped up leg, hand and a ruined pair of jeans

 

well i guess the name asian superman makes sense now
I wouldn't have even posted this if I were you, what's the point?

 

im jus sad... well the story is, i was wearing a helmet and a padded jacket (thank god). pull out of my jobs parking lot, which lead to a back road, working the gears up to to about 75mph (1/2 mile road), coming to a slight right turn, braking hard and the bike started to go side ways, inwhich there was island ahead, thats when the bike hit and i "flew" off

the bike has a big dent on the tank, crack trans cover, torn seats, basicly the whole top of the bike is damage, but everything from thr R6 sign down is clean...

Play with fire, you get burned. Sucks man but good thing your alright; hopefully next time you'll learn to control the bike a little better before you start blazing around town.

Wait, it was a slight right turn...and you crammed the brakes? why? why not just roll slowly off the throttle, keep it steady, lean in and follow the curve?

oh I know, because it's your first bike, and all you knew how to do was run it wide open through the gears!

 

braking hard while turning is never good...and any form of motorized vehicle

quit being such a [freak]ing *****. it's obvious it was a n00b mistake, you don't need to continue to kick a man when he's already out... i have yet to read one thing from you on here that is remotely positive or worth while for that matter.

 

you live you learn
