I had just bought my GSXR 600 and installed frame and swingarm sliders. At my work place, I have to park uphill on a steep incline. When I am leaving work at night I have to carefully back down the hill and turn my handlebars as sharp as I can due to the narrow and akward parking lot. About three quarters of the way around, it starts to tip slowly. It was too late, the weight was too much and I did the most SLOW MOTION tip over ever. One of my co-workers watched the whole ordeal and was cracking up. I was pissed thinking I destroyed the fairing which I had waxed twice that morning. Lucky for me, the sliders took ALL the impact and there was absolutely NO damage. Just figures that stupid things can happen even when you are being careful. |
