Welcome!

Flipped it? You mean end over end? How did that happen?

We all love pics, and be sure to check out the f3 section for other like-minded individuals.

Welcome to the CBR Forum Koroku,

I'm guessing wheelie gone wrong?! The 600 guys on the forum are full of useful tips for getting your bike in tip-top shape again!

Cheers, SB

Default well....

Basicly i following a few of my friends going somewhere, i was the only one on a bike in the back, we made a sharp turn b/c the guy in front forgot we all had to turn there and then some other car pulled out of a gas station and we all hit our brakes, all good there, and then 15 feet from there, there was a stop sign and i guess no one saw it until the last second b/c it was hidden, and i turn to the right then looked strait saw lights and slammed on the brakes and stoppied and completely flipped it, i went through the wind shield and manage to roll and push my self off the bike, it got me in the side though, but it completely flipped landed on the back tire and then bounced backwards about 10 feet, managed not to hit my buddys truck with it haha, wish we got in on video b/c i was so close to his truck but the bike ended up pretty far way.

i flipped my f3 a few times! they can take it - they're incredibly tough bikes to destroy. the worst time was when i hit the deck at about 40mph still trying to stop as i was leading a group of bikes who would have been lost if i had gone through the light. it had just rained in the area - and i hit the white line of death around 60mph under braking!


welcome to the forum. it's a great way for you to learn how to work on your bike (i guess that's the silver lining). its good to hear you're not hurt!
