Fallin Due to cinders.... help

[itsauniquesn]

Hey guys, i recently encountered an up close and personal experience with some cinders on a turn, thank god i was only going 30ish (forget but no more than 30) and the bike handles were going back an fourth and flung me off. anyway....

I am getting the panels painted and i have scratches on the Strator(pardon the spelling if wrong) and need to know how to fix it. I sanded it down a little bit for now to get the gravel off.

We still have cinders here on every other turn, they will put you down quick,sorry to hear that man.

yeah i know it sucks... im use to it but i was going from inside to outside and i havent rode this turn in awhile and what you know i got nailed... handle bars slapping back and fourth out of my control an then my back slipped and i was just like SHIT.


shit happens, just wanna find a fix for it... luckly i had enough adrenaline (spelling) to pick the bike up and ride it home before anyone got near me :-)

how embarassing....

More Than Likely This Cover Is Made From Magnesium It Can Be Sanded Painted But Not Very Likely It Can Be Repaired In And Way ( Jb Weld For Example) But Hey Chicks Dig Scars Right?

[itsauniquesn]

yeah but i dont dig scars on the 2nd bike specially when its not a week old.
:-(

btw i already have a scar from my wheelie accident

i was thinking that too.... 170 bucks for a new cover from bike bandit :-(

Don't forget the gasket too.

i saw them on ebay for about $50-60 a while back, not sure how much they are going for now. that was for a brand new cover as well. glad you are alright.
