Okay so in a matter of 2 weeks of getting my first large bike (I had a 250 first), I have dropped it twice in the same day and I slid off the road. Okay the drops both happened on a hill and I was not used to the weight of the bike. My 250 weighs about 250lbs lol. I can bench press that. Now you guys know how heavy the FZ6R is. So first drop a car and I were pulling in to a gas station and I pulled in toa spot while the car was backing in. The driver honked the horn, I turn to make sure he wasn't backing in to me and then it happened. I tried to save it but in the end it fell gently and threw me to the ground. The second one was like 10min later. On a hill again and TIMMBEEERRR in slow motion again. Both times, no frame scratches. Just a scuff on the mirror and handle bar. I have frame sliders now jsut in case.
The fall came from trying to lean a little more. I took the turn too wide. Thank goodness I was only going about 10-15mph. As the turn went too wide, I went off road in to some soft dirt/grass. The back tire slid as it sunk in the dirt and I went down with it. No damage or injuries because the soft dirt stopped the bike pratically instantly. Sigh my shame as a noob. :surrender: :rant::banghead::spank:
