How fast were you going into the curve? On the brake issue, its OK to hit the brakes prior to a curve so that you enter it slower, but once you are in the curve you need to leave them alone. Once the rears break loose in a curve, its like riding on ice. But I don't blame you entirely. I didn't see any chevron signs marking the curve in your pictures. I don't know about the UK, but they are required in the US. It would have been nice to know the curve was that tight before you wiped out in it. Look under the mid section of your bike near the kick stand to see if there are any tubes hanging down. I have never seen a FI Ninja so I wouldn't know. My pregen has them so he's a boy. If yours doesn't, she's a girl.

I did this same thing, well almost when I first got my bike/license and the first time I ever rode with someone else. The on ramp going onto the highway seemed to go forever and was pretty sharp (Well at least I thought so for a beginner). I def was NOT looking where I wanted to go and almost went straight into the guard rail. Thank goodness I snapped out on it and was fine after that. I think I learned my lesson then cus it never happened again after that. Now I LOVE those sharp, going on forever, turns
Glad you came out of it ok!!

Oh... and those hanging tubes; they're fallopian tubes, used in the birthing process of baby Ninjettes. My bike's a girl! (I didn't actually check for the presence of those tubes. I wouldn't know how to spot them: there are lots of tubes, wires and pipes under those fairings!) Quote:
I think we were both lucky to have learnt from such non-destructive experiences. It was like a little wake up call. I actually hit a similarly unexpectedly tight corner only a week after my off-road accident. I figure I must have a guardian angel or something, because only a few seconds before I hit that corner I suddenly had this thought that I haven't been looked through my turns during this ride. Then suddenly I'm in the corner going faster than comfortable but I just stared straight through it and trusted the bike to carry me through. It went fine. Raised my heart rate by a few beats though |

I saw some trees in the photos. Is there any chance you slipped on some leaves? To a motorcycle, leaves are like grease. No, the tubes are hanging down under the frame if its a boy bike. They are not under the fairings or within the frame. If all the tubing is internal it means its a girl Ninja. I would post a photo of my Ninja's phallus, but it would probably be against the forum rules - and possibly illegal considering that my Ninja is only 5 years old. Those Ninja shifters are practically disposable. Seems like they get all bent up with even the smallest of accidents. I saw a replacement that had a folding shifter peg. If you have to buy a new one, maybe look into that. Whatever you do, don't try to bend it back on the bike. Take it off and fix it in a vice if you must.

lol @ your Ninja phallus. As for bending the shifter back on the back... that's exactly what the call out mechanic did :O He only bent it far enough that I could get home. There doesn't seem to be any unwanted horizontal play in the shifter, so I don't think it caused damage. |

The stingy nestles part of this reminds me of the time wayyy back in the days when I rode bicycles 24/7. I was leaving my friends and heading to the dentist, riding through the grass when I hit a big rock (the sucker came out of nowhere), my bike went flying, and I ended up in a thorny bush. Needless to say I missed my dentist appointment as I picked about 50 thorns out of my skin..cuz I was a squid at the time and did not wear gear lol.

This happened a while ago now, anyone whose reading this. It's always good to be reminded that I can unintentionally dismount from my motorcycle when I do things wrong.
