Always wear your gear!!
 

Blackwidow_600 was on the way over to the garage where i have our bikes stored to help me work on the 900 ( im calling it operation:restore and Un-Ghettosize and he got caught in a freak downpour that lasted maybe 10 min but enough to cause the oil spots to come to the top of the road. from what i understand he was coming to a stop at a 4 way and hit a oil slick and almost saved it then went down, he was wearing gear and made it out just fine, bike is fine for the most part, busted off a return line from his waterpump but we have jbweld drying on it overnight till he can get a new cover ordered, but it will still let him ride till he gets a new one. Also needs to order a new frame slider but it saved the bike from being much worse off. while we were at the house working on it we were also cleaning out the garage and realized that there were 3 cbrs sitting side by side and ironically all broken down to varying degrees, and funny enough in line from oldest to newest and from least worst off to worst off.i promise it was by accident, we didnt mean to line them up in that order. LOL

thanks for coming to get my ass.... im rather proud of my moto gp slide into the gutterbut my ribs and right arm and shoulder hurt like hell...

thanks again guys for the rescue

RE: Always wear your gear!!
 

Glad your ok Black, and the bike will recover.

RE: Always wear your gear!!
 

thanks man, i sure hope it does looks kinda like the radiator got pushed into the manifold a little and i cant tell if i have an oil leak now or if oil just rushed out the pcv valve filter when the bike went sideways.. and those two water bottles by the side of my bike are filled with my antifreeze which looks like it has quite a bit of oil in it... we will see tomorrow when we put her back together .. im just really glad i didnt bend my forks and it was a pretty well controlled crash

RE: Always wear your gear!!
 

LOL sorry i just saw you sig. I like it HAHAH. Hope you and your bike recover fast. and i glad to hear that you can crash like a pro [8D]

RE: Always wear your gear!!
 

well the bike has healed.. i drove her home finally, my shoulder still hurts like hell, im pretty sure i cracked a rib, but ill live to ride again.. as soon as this F#@$@#$ing rain stops .. i think we are at something obsurd like 5 weeks straight of rain now

RE: Always wear your gear!!
 

Heal up quick ! 5 weeks of rain i would have to get wet.

That's a cool pic with 3 bikes in the same driveway:D

RE: Always wear your gear!!
 

even if they are in various states of disrepair??? we spent most of the afternoon discussing why we should go ahead and open up a repair shop... figured we could be our own best customers.

RE: Always wear your gear!!
 

hahahaha yeah cause we are soo accident prone..
and yea ive had to get wet on several occasions .. only a few by my own choice tho ..
riding a sport bike with a wet crotch is prolly the most uncomfortable thing i have experienced next to having a prostate exam

RE: Always wear your gear!!
 

Heck yea it's still a cool pic ! The blue f4i looks like a streetfighter ! Gluck with getting them streetworthy again.
