I crashed it... Damn. Now Featuring Pics :p
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 Last futzed with by #maverick#; May 12th, 2014 at 12:43 PM. |

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

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

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