What did you do to your bike today?

[Scott_Thomas]

Would love to see a pic of the decals on the bike.

I'll probably get them on this weekend.

I fell over at a stop sign two blocks from the house. :zombie: My cherry black FZ6R is not cherry anymore. The road slopes to the right going up hill to the stop sign. I was coming to the stop looking to the left for traffic. Nobody coming so I gave it some throttle and found out it was in neutral. Oh no the bike is falling down to the right. I tried to stop it from falling but my foot got trapped under the bike. I lost a little skin on my knee and scratched up the bike pretty bad and bent the front brake lever and rear foot brake lever. Folks driving by asked if I was ok and I said I needed help lifting up the bike. A kid in a van jumped out to give me a hand. I tried to look as cool as I could but felt like a complete azz. I witnessed the same thing happen to a rider a few years ago and thought I hope that never happens to me.

I put the bike down a few times, just low speed moving or not moving at all, just mishandled it, but I never had a problem picking it up by myself.

Get that thing in the right (wrong) position, the right incline/decline, the right circumstances, just for an instant, and it'll go down on you. Best you can do is baby it to the ground (this is what frame sliders were invented for). I don't care *how* much experience or lack thereof, you have...

I did the same thing about six months ago... pulled into a restaurant parking lot, and before I had a chance to put down the kickstand, a woman in a van pulls up right along side to the left, and her passenger slams open a door into my leg/shin with just enough force to upset my balance. It was a slow motion, isometric, babied drop to the ground... I even have it on cam.

I took off my helmet, and the woman backed her van out to the middle of the lot when she saw my expression.

Makes you wonder how the thing keeps its equilibrium so well when you're executing a perfect knee-scraping corner...

Anyway, you can pick it up yourself. You just need to understand the physics of it. *Butt* and *back* to the seat; legs bent all the way; one hand on the handlebar, the other as close to, or on the grab bar. Push with your legs. It'll come up. Sometimes help isn't around.

Crossed the 24 mile lake P. bridge again. After doin 70 mph for 1/2 hr,came to a stop at a light. When light changed I slammed the jewels for the fourth time in a year. It was a little embarrassing in morn rush traffic, but in my defense my rt hand was numb from holding throttle for so long. Anyway it's a good thing my baby making days r behind me.

Not really what I did, but I received my Chain and Sprocket kit yesterday.

With it I also ordered the R&G Radiator Guard.
Will be installing it either tomorrow night after work or this weekend!

 

[markklee]

I looked it carefully and think how to grip the handle to avoid any injury. I always use to ear hip protectors before any ride.Anyhow thanks to all for some good stuff.

 

[bleedinblue]

I've been riding in rain alot lately, so I spent about 2 hours cleaning my bike today.I even cleaned my wheels lol.

Also, I got my saddle bags today and installed them.I shouldn't need any kind of support, they aren't even close to my tire.I had some clear number plate background for my dirtbike, so I put a few pieces of it on the tail section so the straps wont rubb through my clear coat.

Rode her to work, picked up the paycheck, did some sweet, sweet, traffic lane-splitting, deposited my check, and cried as I rode to McDonald's for lunch....

Earlier this week (I think Sunday?) I had to lay down my bike. Windy as heck the other day with wind gusts around 40mph. I was in second gear, giving no gas in middle of a slow speed turn and wind gust pushed me over. I had to lay her down on the right side frame slider... glad I bought those.

Well, today, I'm going to finish up my maintenance that I started last night. I'm changing the oil, air filter, and sparkum plugs. This is the first time I've changed the air filter and the plugs myself. I've always had my service department do the major stuff. But I followed the directions of....whoever it was on how to change the plugs. Excellent write up! The only pain in the *** that I thought was the 2 hose clamps under the air box that you have to remove in order to remove that rubber case or whatever it is. I take that back.... the most pain in the *** part was removing my oil drain plug and the oil filter. I didn't have my bike hot before I changed the oil so everything was literally stuck on. I had to have my fiance use his muscular powers to undo both of them. I was putting all of my weight on my drain bolt and bouncing on it trying to get it loose. It didn't budge for me. My fiance even grunted a few times trying to break the seal. But now that I have the correct plugs and oil filter, I will be putting her back together tonight. YAY! I would post pics of my air filter as I haven't changed it since I've had my bike for 4 years....... but my phone is being stubborn and not connecting to my computer. But it was black! No wonder she ran like poo that had just been set on fire. My plugs were black on the tips as well. OH! I also drilled holes in my air box too! They're just little holes for right now. Just so my girl can breathe a little bit more. YAY! Go me! It took me forever just to get my bike apart and to figure out I got the wrong spark plugs. I started on my bike after I got home from work at about 7:30ish and didn't stop working on it until midnight last night.

i took my bike out after the rain cleared and ran some errands then stopped and got a burger and ice cream with my girlfriend at kline's freeze. i was going to take a picture of her ( my bike) while we were there but my girlfriend and i got to distracted by this guys 2002 toyota celica being brought out of the body shop next door... all 4 tires were slashed, both windshields smashed his car was spray painted with yellow spray paint... looked like it said MS13 or something on it ....that or he pissed his girlfriend off or someone else's boyfriend lol... on top of us discussing who he may have pissed off her had a crappy cheap exhaust on it that sounded terrible... and him and his buddy were trying to load it up on a utility trailer.. like the ones you haul tractors with... with pieces of plywood... they got it on there but it was funny to watch...

so back on topic here is a pic of my bike with my recent upgrades, zero gravity dark smoke windscreen and LED front blinkers. ( took the pic before i left to run errands)

Not my bike, but for my bike key...I like to make stuff out of paracord (mostly bracelets and stuff) but decided to make a key fob. Might try a few others this weekend. Used red and white/reflective tracers.
