I think the brittle foot pegs on my 12S saved me from more damage today after my flying lesson. Grabbed a handful of front brake to avoid rear ending a car and you all know what comes next. Yeah thats me unceremoniously unseated over the bars with me and the bike led in the road. From this 0 speed drop ( by this time I had wings) it looks like the front peg took the brunt and snapped clean off. The only other damage was a broken indicator, couple of marks on the clutch case behind the shift lever, a weeping inspection cover gasket and the bar end. Oh and dented pride. So my Christmas list now has frame protectors and axle sliders added!!!! Does any one have a good color match for 12 cases so I can cover the marks and stop the case growing a fur coat? | ||

Sounds like you made out pretty good. It is bad to hurt your bike and your pride but it does not hurt near as bad as skin and bones. | ||

Glad you are ok. | ||

Hate to hear that anyone "fell off" of their bike. Glad you are still here to tell the tale. | ||

Thanks guys, I was lucky as I always wear decent gear and bounce well just a few bruises. Also the car on the inside pulled up before squashing me a i was led in his lane! It was fun riding home with no left peg though. Now just have to buy a few bits to get it back on the road properly. | ||

Glad to hear you were wearing your gear too. To a certain extent you make your own luck (in that regard). I remember Shazam doing a track day this year, broke his right peg off early in the day. He rode several sessions after that with just the stub of a peg.  It was easy to tell where he was on the track (Heartland Park). Thant monster motor with the force pipe made it's presence known.  |
