2 down in 2 days
 

So i guess im the second one to go down this week. Hit up some twisties and my inexperience got the better of me, luckly i wasnt going fast.

Ouch!!!! The bikes looks a total mess. But if you're able to get on the Forum already, quess you're not doing too bad. Here's hoping to a fast recovery. Any plans for the bike?:cry:

damn! that poor hawk is fooked up! hope you look alot better...

Sorry about the bad luck - hope your not too banged up

Ouch! Hope you are better of than that poor hawk...

Wow, glad you are ok

Curious, how did the wheel and axle get seperated from the forks. Did someone not tighten the pinch bolts after last tire change.

yea im gonna fix it, hopefully the frames not bent, gonna fix it up. and im ok, balls hurt alittle bit ha, guess thats decent tho, thanks tho

Na my front tire hit a culvert, thats the main reason i got so banged up. i hit that and went over the bars

Sheez i think i will leave mine parked for few days. Hope this is not like airplane accidents and comes in three's

Be safe fellow VTR riders.

I hope so too. I am planning to take a ride in the Santa Monica mountains tomorrow. You remember those don't cha?:draggin:

Glad you're OK. If the forks are borked, I humbly suggest a set of CBR1000 forks w/radial brakes. And no, I'm not selling any.;)

haha ill keep that in mind.

Wow!!!!! glad your okay

holy crap the bike look messed up, were you wearing gear?

Sorry to see you took a nasty one. You have any injuries?

Whoa! Glad you are still posting though!

From the sound of it I got banged up more, but my bike fared better and your bike took more damage but you weren't as banged up.

Ride safe everyone!

Well, that is like choosing between the lesser weevils...;) Personally I'd take the messed up bike... Shit can be repaired fast... body's take time... :)

My experience with VTR's is that frame is bent for sure. In fact, a very small bend the forks usually means that that steering head area is tweaked. I would be surprised if yours isn't cracked at the weld considering the extensive damage it incurred.

Bummer, glad you are ok.

Yea i was wearing gear, and yes bikes are easier to fix, although my groin is still in pain from smacking the tank at 35 mph ughh

Glad to hear you're doing okay. Just remember...it could've been worse. Heal quick and get that bike back together. :)

Glad to hear you are OK, hope you can get that back back up and running quickly.

i keep telling myself that but i also keep telling myself im an idiot:mad:. I still havent seen the bike in person so i dont know whats gonna happen with the bike. I guess ill find out soon.

thanks to all for your concern:D

Haha...ha. Thanks. It does. I crashed at Road Atlanta on Saturday. Minor low side on cold tires/pavement and was able to get back out for the rest of the weekend.

I had a similar crash 2 years ago. Failed to negotiate a turn, riding above my skill level and into a culvert, barely missing a tree in the process. Bike looked like yours. Healed up, rebuilt her and went back to square one about proper riding technique.

Glad its scrape, bruises and sore balls and nothing worse.

Good luck.

Krrrunch! Dat don't look good.

Glad you're ok.

you don't look too good in the picture, with blood on your head and all...glad it's not serious, hope the Superhawk is salvagable...

reaper, you just explained the crash, i was also about 6 inches from a tree, and yea im gonna start over from square one

Glad your ok!......................Everyone, Please be careful out there, know your limits. Crashed bikes and bodies.......no good.

Me went down also
 

Make me number 3.

Low side sand in a downhill Left and right. approx 30mph

NO broken parts on the bike and I was in full gear and popped up and tossed the glove at the bike. (no hurts)

Left fairing panel is scrapped.
T Rex frame slider is toast and saved the bike

Aftermarket LED blinker is working but needs replacement.

Rode the bike the rest of the weekend for 1k miles.

Those things rock. As soon as I figure out tomorrow what is happening with Insurance etc on my bike I will be ordering another set for my bike!
