When riding on the road, or when the road is no more road, or even on the track... We all know there are 2 types of riders out there:
Those who have fallen, and those who still have to go down...
This article is just me thinking: Better to laugh about it, as crying is a bit weird...
I'll update from time to time (if I got something to add).
When it's your last trackday of the season and you want to make it special...
Having a wet day, on rather old tyres on a bike that you are not familiar with, isn't that asking for something special?
Long story short, parked the Gooffer on it's side, after it skidded about 100meters on the tarmac.
Being a Honda, it shouldn't surprise you that the bike started with just 1 push of the button...
The fairings on the other hand, well they went missing...
(Yes I'm still a trackday rookie)
(Yes still a rookie but with crashing experience)
You can even park a GSa flat on Mother Earth.
Guess sticky street tyres aren't sticky enough for some mud...
Next time I'll invest in something more knobby to stay upright.
No worries after a good shower both me and the bike wer ready to go again ;-)
6 months after my previous mud investigation I got some knobbies on the GSA and went playing in the mud again.
But since it has been raining for a few days, even these knobbies weren't able to keep me upright...
Well, I guess if the bike is tired, it needs a rest?
Not much damage done, but you must admit... That's some creative parking, no?
