Guess i’m out of the “if you haven’t fallen yet…you will” club. I’m fine…not a scratch on me…thank God…was going about 5mph turning around…was a slight grade in the road…bike started to go and i was off of it before i was caught between it and the ground. Only damage is a few scratches on the stator cover and a cracked left side mirror. Would be more than pissed if this was a brand new bike…

Looks like the previous did think about it…the plastics are cut out where a cage or frame sliders would be.

accident had nothing to do with the bikes power, i’m not completely used to balancing that weight during low speed maneuvering, and you honestly call a cbr600f2 with dirty carbs and a good bit of power loss “high performance”? :kekegay:
