Default went down today

Well the topic sorta summerizes it. I was riding up my mall today and on the road their was construction earlier and they never sweeped it up and gravel+bike= bad. I lost control of the bike and ran into the curb and i went flying and flipping for like 40 feet from where the bike hit the curb. The drivetrsin on the bike is fine but i messed up all the plastic. I also came out ok except for the broken coller bone and the road scratches. But i have gotta fix like 3/4 of the plastic so i was just gonna bike a whole new racing skin for it so does anyone know where i could buy one??

Sorry to hear about your getoff...Glad you walked away from it ok for the most part! +1 on a helmet, As for parts, best better is to try ebay. Some members here have had great success with their ebay plastics.

Glad to hear that you're mostly OK. Auctmarts has a new line of perfect fit fairings that are outstanding. Look over at 600rr.net for deals as well.

just remember that their are two types of riders, whose who have gone down, and those who will, so dont feel bad about wrecking! im happy to hear you came out alive and healing up( helmets and gear for the win! ). also glad your bikes repairable.

awhile back i had a lucky to be alive for a first wreck (over pass on the freeway), my bike was a total .Just remember to take iteasyand get used to riding again, i know it felt funny the first timea i through a leg back over!

also be sure to check the bike out well, things like bent forks, tweaked subframecan behard to spot sometimes! check the swingarm for slop as well, and double check most fasteners as a wreck can jar stuff losse!

hope you heal up fast, get the bike rolling again, and most of all, have fun and enjoy life

-Levi

That's not true. I know people that have ridden for 30 years and never gone down.

It's a cliche that *certain people* like to repeat cuz they think they're supposed to.
