How annoying..... dropped my bike

Grrrr :x
Well I went for my motorbike licence today. Took the day off work and all. Passed with flying colours (best score out of the group). Even managed to scrape a peg in one of the practice sessions.
So that was all good fun, caning around on HART's bike and being able to get rid of the L plate from mine.

Anyway, after the course had finished, I rode my bike out to Lilydale to collect mail for a mate that's interstate. No worries, got his mail, all good.
Then as I was pulling out the driveway, I spotted a heap of junk mail that didn't make it to the letter box. So I put the bike on the stand, and went to grab it. Next thing I know, the bikes slowly tipping over on his driveway.
:angry2: *insert your own explitives here*
So now I have scratches on both my front and rear fairing (LHS), engine cover and a cracked screen.

Not happy Jan.

Been there done that and bought the tee shirt, I always cringe when I hear some other poor sod has done it. :(

When I give an opinion you have to ask yourself...what the hell does he know about anything!

CBR 600 or blade? Bummer though, I remeber how pissed I was when my ZX10 did that, slight slope and stand not fully engaged :oops:

All bikes fall over at some point, just be thankful yours did stationary, not at 160 :wink:

I wish, just a little CBR250R, they won't let me on anything bigger yet.

Yeah, a new windscreen's cheaper and a lot less painfull than a trip to hospital.
