I crashed it... Damn

#maverick# · May 11th, 2014, 01:54 PM

Hello guys,
I dropped my bike today, a little fairing damage and i noticed and green, sweet tasting liquid come out. I'm assuming its coolant also there is hose hanging under my bike now. I believe it goes to the overflow tank because the drop was on the left side. Worth noting that not a lot of coolant dripped out. Pictures are coming soon as my phone is charging now.

I dropped it because i was practicing countersteering in an empty parking lot. I hit a patch of sand and the rear tire slid out. Rear tires were not properly warmed up most likely. Cracked left mid fairing which i will try to repair with fiberglass and bondo and then sand it down, prime and paint with OEM Candy blue paint.

No damage to me or my gear apart from a few scratches on my leather jacket, but thats not a big deal

Sucks that you put it down, but why would you taste the liquid?
Also... practicing counter-steering, or counter-balancing?

Haha both i guess

, I've leaned it this much before but i guess i hit a bad patch haha and i couldnt react fast enough to correct it LOL, also im eastern european we have this thing with tasting fluids to identify it haha. Coolant has ethylene glycol which has a sweet taste, which is why its women's preferred method of poisoning their husbands :P.

I shed a tear when i saw the scratches.

Sure the tear wasn't from drinking Anti-Freeze?

If she does, tasting anti-freeze is all that tongue will be used for

those IRC's you have on there don't get "warmed up" they are at temp basically immediately. they always have crap grip.
