Hi friends and Hurricane lovers,

Yesterday when I was putted air on tires I look to main stand and, in my opinion, the main stand is to much close from tire. Never touch it but I don't know if it is normal.

Can you help me and check on your hurricane please.


Thank you

 

I would say you have the wrong size tire or the stand is bent.

 

What size tire do you have on there? A 150 is as wide as you can fit safely.

 

The tire is original size, 130/80 17"
Is a Avon AM26 Roadrider.

If any Hurricane owner can check on his bike I appreciate, may be the stand is really bent or mount wrong.

Thank you

 

Looks bent to the right side slightly to me.
I never had the center stand so I can't check it to know.

 

I'm so sad, my left leg hurts, my right arm also but my heart is in pieces.

My baby is gone, after 6 years restore it and is almost done now lose it forever :'(
A car did not saw me, crash about 40/50km/h

Two weeks ago, this last photo didn't have bottom fairings because next weekend I will change oil.



and yesterday/today

 

The bike can be made whole again. What about you? Are you okay?

 

Luckily yes.

The bike crash into the car wheel and I flew. Some people saw the accident and said the bike did a complete turn on air and crash violente on the tarmac.

In local I had terrible pains, nothing moves I tried correct my position on floor and nothing, only pain.
About 3min later the pain loose intensity and start move everything. Great helmet, jacket and gloves!!!! Helmet have scratchs, the jacket and gloves no damage and after clean can use again (some day in the future).
Today I only have little muscle pains and left arm have a little burn because the temperature between the tarmac and the jacket when I touched the road.

My first motorbike crash, I start drive 2 wheels with 15 years old and I have 32 today.

The car turned left without prepare the maneuver, turned on the signal and turned immediately. In Portugal motorbikes have the same laws that cars, so I can't drive on left side of stopped cars (traffic). I will try negociate with the other driver but probably I will not receive any insurance money for buy a new bike.
Is not fair, I have super careful when I drive the bike and try see everything (prove of that is I crash it only about 40km/h) and is not fair because the other driver didn't prepare the maneuver on time.

Now I don't have money for new bike, and I will not have for some years

 

I don't know the laws in Portugal. I recommend you trash the helmet, they are meant to only crash once and deform on inside where you cannot see. Some helmet makers will do a free inspection if you send it to them.

 

Man that sucks- I am glad you are OK.

Hope you will get treated fairly by insurance !!! Did you get contact info of any witnesses?
