I lost my cherry today

[Rawwr]

Somewhere in Peterborough, whilst most people were watching the football, on the 7th lap...



I was so happy!

Until someone on an R1 went a wee bit too quick and...

Ah, that'll be 'the' roundabout in Peterborough although personally I prefer the Moat house one... Hope your mate gets his bike sorted soon.

[Rawwr]

I didn't know the guy on the R1. Not until after it happened, anyway. His tyres were totally ed before he started doing it and I did consider the possibility his bike would end up like that.

[Rawwr]

Oh, I also had a bee fall into my leathers and sting me on my right tit. ****.

Congrats on the scuffed slider, kind of a rite of passage (you could say the same about falling off)

The R1 rider may apreciate you taking the pics down though, I doubt his insurance claim is going to read "I was going round and round the roundabout, getting faster and faster;-until I fell off!)

At least no one was hurt.

I know how the guy on the R1 feels, binned mine at the weekend, think it is a write off i am lucky to come out of it with a broken shoulder.

Bummer my friend - get well soon.

Well done Rawwr

What the hell happened to the R1 - I can't work out how the damage has happened. It looks like the RHS crash bung has snapped off. Weird that there's a load of front end damage if no other vehicle was involved....do you know anymore?

[Rawwr]

Front washed out and the bike hit the kerb, tossing it into the air (really quite impressively high). Left-hand side got ed from scraping along the ground and right-hand side got ed because that's the side it landed on (on the first bounce).

Well done! It’s good to achieve a personal goal.

DamienCBR

Unlucky. Having suffered a broken shoulder, I know they’re not pleasant so best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

Ride safe and enjoy

Didn't you only pick that up recently?

sorry did not mean to hijack started new thread

[gordski]

still not managed to get knee down (SV650s) other than when I fell off, but I guess that doesn't count. Any tips on the best way (NB would like to ride bike home afterwards unlike R1 chap)?

[Scott W]

Well done Rawwr! I got mine down for the first time at Silverstone last Monday and it was a great feeling! First time I did it I was so happy about doing it I messed the line up for the next corner! I'm back there again on Sunday and I cannot wait!
