had my first crash on the RTR last night. Was coming late from office around 11:00 PM. There is this nice left turn close to my home. I was at around 60 or so & when I reached the turn I saw water spilled over the road. I realized that I was about to fall as the bike's rear had started slipping So I carefully decided to fall (as if I had an option ) i.e. when the front too lost it, I let it be & kept holding the bike till I started touching down on the ground & once I did I left the bike & I fell in a sitting posture on my left upper thigh.
The bike went away around 20-30 feet away, I could see the sparks flowing through all the metallic parts. I had a small roll but kept my head high. Stood up & found no scratches on me only an itchy bum :P Looked at bike & thought here goes my baby for its first insurance claim :-D Went to the bike it was still running in full glory albeit in a false neutral mode. I switched it off Some guys came & asked if I was fine & I replied in Yes. They helped me lift the bike. After initial inspection things looked fine, I started the bike & continued my journey to home. Found the Clutch lever to be in different position, tryied pushing it to its earlier place & voila it did. The bike was as stable as before no extra signs, so decided to check properly once I reach home On reaching home, I was surprised to see the damages, My worst fear was fairing & tank & scoops but nothing happened to them except for a black line on fairing that too on an edge(although a big one), the damages were - Scraped left Side crash guard (not bent) - Scraped Gear lever rubber - Scraped Sari guard foot rest - Brushed rear Left Indicator - Brushed rear grab rail So hopefully I dont need to do anything, things would be more clear when I ride her in day time today.
