just wiped out on my bike....just pulling outta the garage, gave it too much gas on the grass and she went outta control. landed right on the pavement. scratched the right panel, the right mirror, front brake lever, and worst of all bent the handlebar. my right side of my pelvis is all scratched up and my helmet too....
just a complete freak accident.
below is a pic of my scrape....only for strong stomachs.

i would take a pic of the bike but im kinda mad at it right now. i know its my fault, but still. dont want to look at it at the moment. im actually really sad about it. she's just over a month old and is all dinged up. any chance warranty will cover this? not likely....*sigh
well i guess i gotta get some new parts. any recommendations for handle bars, mirrors, and plastics?

 

Welcome to the March of Dimes Riding Team! It sucks when you mess up your bike but it's good when you can walk away from the wreckage.

 

lol whats the March of Dimes Riding Team?

 

doesn't look too bad - but man that sucks with the accidental throttle twist. gotta build that clutch reflex. anything goes wrong pull the clutch. it's saved me from many a potential accident on quads and cars and already on bikes. (only had one a week)

oh wow, see i never even thought of pulling the clutch at the time. only thing going through my mind was "oh ****"

and i just looked over the bike, turns out the handlebars arent bent, they were just pushed over. [8D]
so i think the only damage is that its scratched from the pavement, and everything that's scratched i wanted to change anyways.

buuut unfortunately, my wrist is dinged up worst than i thought. think it might be sprained. it hurts to much to squeeze the clutch. guess i wont be riding for a little bit. []

edit: wow nice x-ray....that doesnt look pleasant

 

Sucks man. Could have been muchworse though.

 

Looks like we have an Ouch thread to go with the Bails thread,now if we can combine the two with pics.[sm=outcold.gif]
