Okay, im kind of pissed off right now. Okay, me and frankie figs were out riding tonight and we're doing some backroads and such enjoying the nice weather. I decide to pull in to this church on the side of the road to see where he wants to go next. We're pulling in to the parking lot and i go left. Front wheel slips out. Bike down. Look back, fucking sand on the ground. Yeah it's a bullshit fall and im pissed.
Okay, point of this thread is, how many of you have had bullshit falls like this and can you count how many you've had? I'm seriously thinking about selling the RC51 because it seems like this thing is cursed, or maybe i suck at riding. Just give me some info, i'm about to hang up the hat here because im pissed off and sick of dealing with these bullshit falls that seemingly only happen to me.

Well bro, you don't truely own your bike until you drop it. I have been owned by dirt like that before. I was turning around in a culdesac and there was a patch of loose gravel, as soon as my front tire hit it the tire slid to the side about 6 inches. I luckily wasn't going but maybe 5mph and was able to catch it before it bit the pavement. Don't sell your bike man, it happens to everyone and I have been riding for years. I have seen people drop their bike while sitting on it.

That shit happens man, you could ride for years and never have it hapen or have it happen a lot, its a gamble like riding. Dont sell the bike unless you want to get another or stop riding all together, it wasnt the bike. I'm not sure how long youve been riding but advice I read somewhere I cant remeber is its not a matter of if you will go down its when, hell a motorcycle cant even stand up on its own it needs a damn kickstand

I had my first bullshit drop today. Kinda embarassing, but shit happens. I was practicing low-speed turns and I pushed on the rear brake instead of letting off of it...like a dumbass...and the bike just sorta fell over. I wasn't able to catch it and it sorta just layed down on the pavement. No damage at all...except to my ego. But, screw ego...as long as it starts and runs...it was a good day.

these should make you feel better. first BS drop i had....sitting at a light and went to adjust my seating position and caught a nut and moved too quick and fell over on my left. Second drop was in my friends yard. had to move my bike for his bitch gf and had to cut through the yard cause she left me no room. went to let out the clutch and go and when i lifted my feet the rear tire got caught in his sandy ass front yard and i stopped dead and fell over. it sucks but at least nothings wrong with my bike...or yours.
