Today, I finished putting together the bits to make my bike run... of course, minus the gas tank cap key...LOL (so, no gas. It will turn over, but I don't know if it will actually run yet.)

So I took it for a ride down the drive way.

Damn, a 600 with all the stuff (headers and gas tank) on it is heavy...

Getting it back up the driveway wasn't so hard... but when I tried to get it over the roots at the top, before I get to where I left the bike, I ended up dropping it (opposite side) onto some grass... I think maybe the front tire has gone flat again.

Thankfully I didn't bother putting the fairings on, so there was no damage. LOL.

First ride (at full weight), and first drop...

 

Good thing the shiny fairings weren't on. I bet you wouldn't be in such good spirits after that.

 

yea you got it outta the way now so later there will be no worries.. i mean seriosuly who drops their bike more than once ... especially if you aren't used to the weight of a 600 just go buy a new 1krr i hear they are super light weight ! .. im just messin with ya , glad you and your bike are ok

 

Better then forgetting your kickstand was down and laying it over

 

Sometimes I watch these dried up skinny old road ****** riding their Harleys next to their 'Old Man' and I gotta wonder if they are doing roids and hgh.

 

my bike fell over a few days ago in my muddy driveway..just sunk into the mud..luckily...no fairings on it either

 

The fairings are crappy so it wouldn't have been much of a loss anyway.

(I don't even have all the hardware)

The bike was slightly wrecked, so I couldn't really use the frame sliders it came with (they were broken).

 

Off to a great start!What kinda bike are we talking about?

 

Damn dude-what are you going to do when your rideing with the engine running? LOL! Just messin with ya.

 

Actually, I wouldn't have had the issue if the bike was running, since I would have been able to just ride over the stump instead of having to push it UPHILL over the stumps, with an apparently flat front tire.
