Default Dropped the bike today.

Hey guys, kinda dropped the bike today. I was on this secluded road doing some wheelies for my photography project and was done doing wheelies and drove up to my girlfriend that was taking pictures and did a nice stoppie. So she says that would have been a nice photo, so I went to go do another one so she could get the picture and my brakes decided to work a little better this time and almost went completely over, I was straight up and down. I just started doing stoppies and paniced and let off the brakes but then grabbed it again and it was coming down sideways and fell over. Broke my peg and a minimal scratch on the stator cover. Hurt my ankle too. Oh well, I laughed. It was kinda funny. No serious damage, and if it would have scratched the fairings I still wouldnt have cared unless it was major, because Im painting it again next weekend. Lesson learned, I dont think Im going to be doing stoppies anymore. LOL ride safe guys.

That sucks. I've seen or heard of quite a few guys going down because of trying to get a good pic or video. It's cool if it works out, but sucks if it doesn't.

Post up some of your pics!

Well I would love to post some pics but the pictures that were taken of me doing wheelies were for my photography project and was taken with a 35mm camera in black and white. So if I can get a few developed and then scanned onto my computer I will get them posted.
