what gear did you have on? helmet hit the ground at all?

Does not look too bad at all once you get some new fairings on it.

I had my Icon Overlord jacket with CE certified back protector (good thing, slid on my back a few feet), Icon Knee Guards, Puma Street Boots, Carbon Fiber Bell Star w/ tinted visor, and Icon leather gloves. Zero road rash. Body aches , but I feel better compared to last night. Walk with a limp and I'm considering going to the gym for a good walk on a treadmill.

Why more people don't wear back protectors is beyond me. Every time I have gone down that thing has really saved me.

Good idea to start walking on the treadmill, get the blood flowing etc.

Finally bought myself a fine track machine (07' R6R):

Here are some pics:




The night I picked it up:



The SV1000S is just wayyy too heavy at the track, so im keeping it for street duty only. I typically do two track days back to back and on the second track day before lunch im always exhausted, never used to happen with the SV650, expecting fun and more fun on the R6.

Hope it went better than my first time knee down. I **** my pants and nearly wrecked.

Took the words right outta my mouth. That thing looks completely salvageable.

fuark.... installing a new akrapovic full exhaust on the busa and I didn't read the instructions carefully.

Instructions: Tighten down the header bolts by hand.

What I did: Tightened down the header bolts to factory 16 lb/ft


resulted in a bent flange and inner sleeve. already had motomummy order me new parts from akrapovic but im not gonna get em till the end of next week. $60 mistake and the bike is sitting in pieces till I get the new parts

Finally got the new parts and got the exhaust done. Hnnnnnng at dat sound....

[Fortitudo]

Poor fireblade,

Looks just like mine except for the stock exhaust and some CF pieces I have. Get her back together man! As long as no frame damage you're ok!

[TTViper]

On my way to NY. First couple hours or so has been too much slab, but I'm making good time. The second half of my ride today goes through some mountains, hopefully some twisties. Stopped at friendlys for dinner. The two whales in the booth next to me have been talking about losing their virginity WAY WAY too loud. Kill me now. There is hope, they have ordered ice cream to-go.

What has been heard...

May I put something in their place?

New tire + wet roads..... I dunno u guies

I ride a 1981 Honda cx500c custom.

I was doing my normal 50 mile commute to work and my bike started to have trouble going over 55 mph so I kept turning the throttle back father until I couldn't pull it back anymore and it never went over 60.

This seemed to make my coolant come blasting out of my coolant hoses which I believe to be normal when excess coolant is being used. Is my thermostat or water pump bad?

Yes I do have oil and gas but my coolant is almost gone now.

Question: How do I debunk my problem?

Could be a gasket. Weren't u coming to sell/trade in that thing?

Sucks about the accident CBR bike doesn't look too bad glad your all good and not srsly hurt.

TFW I have a years riding experience and I just bought the same bike.

[ChicagoB5]

Update on my situation:

I figured after paying to register the CBR600 and getting a real taillight for it (the 08 had like a LED strip) id only be getting around 1600$ for my loans. I told the guy I'd need around 2300$ on top to make it worth it. The dude said he cant go over 2k at the moment so the 1000RR stays mine.

Not a big deal, I'm happy to have the bike. Plan to be out this Sunday with one of my buddies who borrowed BoostinAWD's bike while he's on vacation.

Choose, lets go ride dude!

Started my practical courses this past weekend. Here in Quebec you gotta do 20 hours of practical classes before you can take your closed circuit exam. Anyway, started on a CBR125 and everything was going well, till I stalled it once and they moved me on a 250 Honda custom, which I haven't stalled once, but cannot steer for $hit. The first exercise they made us do was a sharp right hand turn, which I am having so much trouble with

Gotta keep practising I guess.

As in I thought ur dumbass was going to trade that pos for a super sport that's newer and apparently more reliable such as a Yamaha of which I have had no problem over the past 5k miles.
