I've been bad and not checking in, my new job has been far too busy! I hear you had another accident! Is this true ? What happened? Tim also said it was just after you had your bike resprayed! What a s*#t! I did that once on my old TZR250, just picked it up from the repairers after having $3000 worth of work done (van backed into it while parked & knocked it over, luckily he worked for the Salvo's & picked my bike up & left a note under the seat strap apologising and giving his details - most people would just do a runner!). Anyway I rode out of the shop, got down to the end of the street to a T intersection, was a bit excited after not having my bike for 2mths, and went in far too hot, hit powerband about halfway round & lost the backend. I was fine, not a scratch. All I could do was piss myself laughing. The guys from the shop ran outand were like "what the F#@k happened?!" I explained it and also noticed that there was fibreglass dust all over my tyres, so luckily they decided to fix up the damage for free. So theres a leason for you all, make sure after coming out of any sort of mechanic that your tyres aren't covered in crap either oil or dusty stuff! Anyway Dean, let me know what happened?
Yeh its true dude, i fell off 2 days after i got my bike back from being painted.. !! was so pissed off. i came around a roundabout too hot and went to turn.. i hit some light oil it was enough to chuck me down.. i was leanin quite abit .. eyes were straight for the exit.. right gear.. smooth throttle.. back tyre came out and i low sided.. i was like FUUCIYFP(WEN*)(*@#FN#C@()*CN)#@($C(C$N#@*()C$#@ got up.. fark picked up bike.. ah **** so heavy fark used all my power .. oh FARK! i dropped it on the other side lol... then a guy finally came to h elp me.. was a pedistrian.. freakin cagers were just lookin.. full traffic jam.. i took off so fast.. in embrassment.. now im gettin oggy knobs for my bike! ill post up the how to for it once i do it so every1 can see.

Haha You think Deano droping his bike is bad, you should ask him what happend with his oil light. Hahahaha I know I promised I wouldnt say anything mate but I just couldnt hold it to myself.

lol haha, I dont think I could tell you mate, Deano will have to be the one. I'll feel to bad, it is pritty funny and dumb at the same time..................
Its not so really funny, well i dont find it to be funny.. But basically i have had issues with my bike's oil light coming on now and then..brang it to the mechanic he said he couldnt determine the issue. So about 2-3 weeks ago the oil light kept comin more often.. at times just stayed there for 10mins or so.. so i assume it was just the oil light being faulty. anyhows while i got to work having a smoke.. and checkin my bike like i always do.. i thought i decide to see my oil level.. so i tilted the bike straight up.. and farkin **** myself when i couldnt see my oil level on the side of the bike. so now i gotta put oil in it. stoopid damn oil lights.. but my fault since i should of checked it.
I can match that and will share the stupidity. I have some polar hands. They are sleeves that velcro over the clip-ons. I go to visit a buddy, in the hospital, that trashed his V-Max. Any way I'm getting ready to leave and the bike won't start. Won't turn over, nothing. So, I jump the soleinoid motor spins, but won't start. So, I try to roll start it. Nothing. Called another buddy to come 40 miles to pick me and the scoot up. Of course he drives a full size Chevy pick-up. After we man handle it into the bed and get it all tied down., I'm thinking, just one more try. Reach my hand into the sleeve only to find the kill swtich in the off position. Yeah, did I say anything? Nope. Too pissed off by that time. So, there you go. Don't sweat it. My concern would be with the mechanic not checking the oil level. I have found out that the oil sending unit on my 1000 is a level sensor, not a pressure sensor. Okay, back to the show, which is already in progress...
LOL Fzr dude, good story told.. i feel; better about mine!. have a beer on me ! <!-- s:alcoholic: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_all_coholic.gif" alt=":alcoholic:" title="Alcoholic" /><!-- s:alcoholic: -->
Funny Hey All, Hahahahahah I have to say that FZR dude's story makes Deans look good. Gezzz man, not checking the kill switch. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha............... Good **** guys. James
I think that is true with the 250 as well. When my oil starts to get low (but still adequate) when I sit on a upwards hill for about 2 minutes at a set of lights, then take off the light comes on. If I brake or go down hill it goes off immediately. After the first time I see the oil light I know when I get home I put more oil in, because it is a bit low.
Hence the reason not to do long extended wheelies with the FZR line. Oil Starvation. On a side note: In my defense, #1 I never used to use the kill switch, and #2 the polar hand sleeve thingies go over the handle bars all the way down to the upper triple clamp, so I couldn't see that it was in the off position. Yeah, have a laugh, so am I. What a bonehead I was back then.
LOL Fzr dude, hehe , u got some good stories i tell u !! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> Hey Boz i have the exact same issue with you.. this time however i ignore the red light when it was constantly on.. so happy to chain my oil... let me tell u guys something.. the oil sump screw.. do not unscrew it !!!! i frewakin stripped it.. and i didnt even need to touch it.. it was the hexagon,dexagon, watever shape its called washer that u needed to take off.. blah im such a noob.! another time for a drink! <!-- s:alcoholic: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_all_coholic.gif" alt=":alcoholic:" title="Alcoholic" /><!-- s:alcoholic: -->
