Funny Story..

About 2 months ago my friend baught a f4i but didnt know how to ride it so i road it home for him well when we got back he said im gonna take it up the street but before he could start it he dropped it on the left side and broke the mirror and messed up the ferring.. lol i picked it up for him and let him try again and did the same thing but to the other side... :D after that we both though that the bike was done for the day.... ahhaha

that is pretty damn funny man.

lol :D thats some good stuff

i felt so bad watching him do that .....i tryed sooooooooo hard not to laugh... but i did a lil he didnt see cuz he was to busy screaming... lol

:D :p :D good stuff

yay #20 alsmot there... im catching up :D

Yes i did say yet because even an experienced rider can hit some oil on the road and drop their bike! hell i almost went down on the fwy yesterday when that bastard swerved into me because he though it was funny... i wonder if he though the nice dent i put in his fender was funny to

lol oh man .. about 3 months ago i was riding down us 19 and a escalade pull out in front of me so i swerved to the left and punched out his side mirror... it was so funny he tryed following me but i peaced out... he was black... i was scared... lol

Oh yeah he would have beat your ass if he caught you... but thats what i did to that dude i kicked his car when i saw him laughing turned around flipped him off and took off through traffic... i wanted to find a cop to tell them that asshole was in the carpool lane alone... thats a PHAT Ticket out here in cali

yes im going to be looking for that asshole every day on my way home... i hope one day when im in the car i will come up on his ass and i really going to mess with him then

lol well good luck with that be sure to tell me about it, im gonna wana hear it

Your story sounds very familiar. A few months ago my friend bought an 02 F4i. He had never ridden a motorcycle in his life so I test rode it, and ended up riding it home for him. The day after he bought it he finished his BRC. He took the bike to the street to pop his cherry. He kept stalling it. Finally after a half hour of going backwards :rolleyes: ...he drops the clutch. The bike jerks out from under him, and slams into the curb. It broke, not bent, broke the front wheel, and scraped up the left side. He had it two days and did around $800 in damage. He since got it fixed and is steadily improving.

damn that sux.. well atleast hes getting better ya know...

yea, some of the newb stories you just can't help laughing at even though many of us have been there before.

so true...

ummmmmm...... has anyone ever herd of motorcycle saftey training... :laughingr But it would suck so much to drop it on both sides b4 ever gettin it out of the driveway. If it was me i would have takin it back and considered it as a sign... Good that he didnt give up though! :thumbup:

My kickstand sank into my driveway and it fell on the left side (dirt driveway), my friend low sided it makin a left turn and he used to much front brake, then i had a stoppie gone bad and it fell on the left side...all with no frame sliders...

Hello all... Here is a true story that will just about make you cry... When I lived in Oklahoma City, My brother was working for a dealership (that will remain nameless) and I watched a guy buy a BRAND NEW ZX10..... put it in the back of his truck. He went to turn out of the parking lot and over the side of the truck it went..... he totaled it and never even threw a leg over it!!!!!! Now THAT is a bad day!! Trigger

Man, that's why the dealerships won't tie the bikes down for you, at least when I bought my bike. The guy was real good and rode it into the back of my dads truck for me and "strongly recomended" exactly how to tie it down, very good on his part, but he wouldn't touch the tie-downs just for the liability in case something happened. By the way, I bet the guy used ROPE to keep the 10r in the back, always use the ratchet type things, they make them just for bike with rubber hooks and stuff to.

Oh, and my newbie story, I leaving my job at a car wash and was turning around, I went down the driveway a little bit, just coasting with the clutch in and was turning right, just next to a curb and didn't see the sand, the wheel started to slip so I let out the clutch some and gave it some gas but I had forgotten to put the bike in gear and down I went. Because it was a downhill I started rolling and completely forgot about the whole "put it in gear" part. It sucked to cause there were like 4 people at the vacs vacuming their cars. Luckily they build katana's like tanks and nothing happened to it, just a little scratch on the right fairing.

The guy I baught my 750 from has to have the worst story. He baught (my) '02 750 used from a dealer with 4399 miles. Had never ridden anything in his life. Got it back to his appartment complex and decided to teach himself how to ride. Got moving in first and it started to bog a little, so he gave it more gas. Ended up slipping back and grabbed a handfull of throttle. Hit a parked truck in the complex. Shattered his left hand and has a rod in his left leg. Never had a chance to get insurance so the bike still had a clear title. I baught it for $3300, his title said 4399 and mine says 4400 miles, you know he took a huge loss. The damage to the bike consisted of a small dent in the frame just under the intake on left side, radiator, front rotors, left rearset, missing left side of the upper, no left side fairing, dented tank, and small rash elsewhere. $150 and the bike is now ridable with a new radiator & fan, rotors, and rearset (gotta love ebay). Just need all new body work and she'll be good as new!

that had to be shitty for him, but good score for you! :thumbup:

Yeah he never even got to experience riding for real. It definatley played to my advantage though. I can't imagine trying to learn on a 750. I have friends that did it, they have also crashed numerious times. The power difference, compared to my sv, scared the crap outa me. I've ridden for 12 years (12 dirt, 1 road) so i knew how to control it but it still about made me crap my pants a few times!

yea, that can definatly happen, now just try to imagine the jump from the 750 to the 1000 the same. haha
