So I dropped my bike this morning...

[rony]

Hey don't worry i dropped my bike at the traffic lights in peak period( i was at the front of the lights). I was trying to fix my jeans up and i just lost balance.... That was one hell of an embarrosing moment, i know how you feel.......[/b]

lol, much damage? (apart from the ego)

pkunk: yeah I might see what i can do, could fix it up myself for starters and then see what bling ebay has to offer later... Do they have bright chrome LED gearbox covers??

[TurboR1]

Daym that sucks...

But with the oil on the ground, it's a Trumpy, they all do that.

It feels pretty awful when that first "scratch" appears on your nice shiny bike.

Hope you get it fixed to your satisfaction and not too expensive.

Do check the oil level though as the Triumph forum has a big speal of having the correct level as some people are having difficulties in recognising the correct level markings on the dipstick.

made me lol and cringe at the same time. fix her up asap and try to forget it happend, just move your legs around a bit before you stop next time (and/or wear thicker pants)

Hot damn, just called up my dealer to see how much the parts would be to replace, close to 7 hungie. :|

Left Wing Mirror $165
Gearbox cover $157
Screen $354
Dinted Ego Priceless


Looks like a bit of Ebay/US shopping for me tonight... I guess if anything the only major thing need doing is the Mirror, the rest can wait, good excuse for some aftermarket gear for the 675!! *bling* *bling* *cha-ching!*

Mirrors can be replaced with Blingy aftermarket ones for a bit more than that for both left and right mirrors.
Gearbox cover is fixed with some sandpaper, some paint and a bit of effort.
Screen: Get yourself a nice screen from Powerbronze for about $220. They are the best quality screens i have seen but cost a bit more.

Nothing like the first crash to kick of the aftermarket bling race.

Was gonna say, get a powerbronze, puig or zero gravity screen - all are excellent items and great value...

cheers Ajax & shrike, I'll check them out tonight, hopefully they've got some out for the 675

[foolishboy]

bar end mirrors hehe, should look good on the trumpy!
carbon fibre gearbox and engine case covers, or polished billet!
Nice aftermarket screen.

Before you know it not only will the damage be only a memory but she'll be nicely blinged and just that little bit different to the next one you see on the road!

i did something similar recently. i understand how you feel aye. pissed me off real good.

[Cam]

Two years old.. nice bump.

[Älen]

She's not a virgin anymore, and i feel filthy looking at her. She's tainted...

You make her sound good...

Devo well your ok so its all good. My freind did that last week and fucked hes leg up at the same time.... but hes a retard...










...not really, i still love her, but fuck what an expensive morning, guessing close to $500-600? For replacement screen, gearbox cover and mirror? There was also a bit of oil on the ground, guessing from being tipped over on it's side. Is this bad? has oil gone to where it shouldn't have?[/QUOTE]

[Shakey]

fall over and onto back like a RETARD beached turtle. FUCK.

Bad news man, but this bit made me laugh.

[carbon-rod]

Shit imagine dropping it while fixing jeans in peak hour....

I worry about not being in first when taking off while in the "motorcycle lane" or stalling it or something silly... let alone dropping it!! fuck that...

I was double worrying when my battery wasn't able to start the bike... The cagers would have enjoyed watching me push my bike across the intersection to push start it haha

[fredie]

Bloody Mondays...

Pulled into work carpark after nice frosty ride into work, put right foot down, proceed to kick stand down with left foot, and find left thigh fully cramped up from (i'm guessing) the cold ride in, can't straighten leg, weight already over, SPASTIC struggle to keep bike up, fall over and onto back like a RETARD beached turtle. FUCK.

Left mirror clean snapped off, nicely scratched gearbox cover, bent clutch leaver, scatches all up screen (sheered against carbon fibre exhaust of bike next to me) and various little scratches here and there.
