Dragged my shoulder...
Just finished washing my baby last night, thought I would do some very light braking to get the slippery stuff off the discs before I hit the road.... went once and no problem, thought I would do just one more.
A little throttle and very light on the brakes..... then I hit some sand/gravel stuff which I didnīt see because all the water and stuff I had used washing her had made the asphalt too dark. Front lost the grip and I went down on my left side at maybe 10-15 mph
I didnīt get so much as as bruise even but my love got it a little worse....
left mirror scraped
clutchlever broken
bar end scraped
left side fairing scraped and a small hole
left header minor scratch
left yoshi pipe scraped
sidestand scraped
gear shift lever broken
swingarm minor scratch
frameslider bent(?!?!) and scraped (bike-designs nocut sliders are f*cking POS!!)
also dragged my shoulder a little so my jacket is a little scratched there, but no holes or anything and no bruises on me (Alpinestars
)
Sheīs fine to ride with just a new clutchlever and gearshift lever but the fairing and the pipe donīt look too good and itīs really hard to find parts for these bikes here so to fix it myself (buying old parts) is going to be too expensive, Iīm gonna have to use the insurance on this one even though I really donīt want to.
This is the first time eating asphalt for me in my 13 years of riding, and it was such a supersquidly thing to do also. It would feel better if I really crashed or something, Im sooo f*cking pissed at myself!!
I will ride her the rest of the summer with the rashes but then Iīm going to have to leave her to the dealer and the insurancecompany to have everything fixed. I would really rather fix it myself but used parts are hard to come by here and they cost way more than they do for example in the U.S., so I feel I have no option really.
This whole thing is making me feel disgusted with myself.
