Just a bad, hectic start to a eventful weekend! I own a rink in Cookeville TN and we are hosting the largest skating event with over 400 skaters from out of state and all the pro's in the industry.

As I was leaving for work this morning my cage wouldn't start which was just a bad start to my day. I was moving my bike ( in dress shoes like a idiot) to get another car to jump mine in the garage. Well as I am moving it my not so grippy shoes decided to slip on some dust or something and I lost my footing...pow bike drops on the left side. Good thing is I had already wrecked so another little scratch or 2 on the fairing is bleh but bad thing is it bent my shift lever pretty good.

Felt like ranting...just pissed and not looking forward to putting a smile on for 400+ people all weekend now :(. I know it's a fixable and not a huge repair but DAMN!!! :mad:

sorry to hear that..but sheeeeet happens. it sucks ya, but you are in good health, life probably isn't too bad. just dust yourself, keep going, and don't look back :thumbup:

Use the closed side of a wrench and bend it right back.

You'll be alright bro. Don't worry about it! And you're lucky I'm not coming to your little skating party I'd have to whoop all of them boys :P

Interesting! I'd never heard-of or seen jamskating before that video.

Ha basically Breakdancing on skates...pretty cool stuff.

So after getting it bent back I can only shift into first and neutral. Any ideas?

are you trying to shift while riding it, or with the bike stationary?

I turned the bike on but kept it stationary.

Take it for a spin. That's normal behavior. The ninjette has a positive neutral finder. You can only do 1st and neutral when the bike isn't moving.

Thank you! I didn't get time or even think of this untill some down time later in the night. I got home about an hour ago fired her up and everything's working fine. Good end to a bad day ha!
