FUCK!!!

Well apparently this isn't my day. I just dumped it taking a short cut to fill up on the way home. Looks like I'm done riding this summer. At least this bike.

Damage doesn't look too bad but my DynaS is toast. I have spares for almost everything already.....

I was turning left here. That's enough dirt to break my tire lose apparently.


I'm ok, shoulder is little sore. I was wearing gear so I won't have a ton of road rash.


Waiting for a tow......

I'll post pics when I get home.

Did it damage the case?

Ripped the timing cover clean off. It was only held on by 1 bolt anyway due to previous damage before I got it. I know where there's a replacement. I'll PMing him shortly.











Shit! My shoulder an hip hurt. I'm going to be black and blue for a week+

Good thing you're ok. If I had a small four, I'd invest in some case guards. When I can, I'll get some for my bike and get rid of the huge one I have. It was only $20 but in the wreck I lost the points housing, cover and the clutch cover. Cheap insurance.

Yeah, I have a pair. I was going to put them on this winter........

That's the kind I was thinking about only three point. Then I could use my HWY pegs. They're too high and I look Dorky with my legs sticking up there. Don't feel safe either.

I plan on getting back to my own GPz750 project soon, and I have a question for you. What did you do to fit the Dyna coils in the factory coil locations? When I put mine in, the tank didn't clear. I thought the easiest thing would be to rotate the mounting points 90 deg, but I hadn't gotten to actually figuring out how.

That sucks you crashed at least your OK, the bike can always be repaired.

This is my solution to mounting Dyna coils on my GPZ750 framed ELR clone. Fits nicely under the tank without any issues.

And of course the obligatory bike shot.

Well here's the short list of obvious damaged parts:just from what I observed while waiting for a tow.

• Ignition cover- shattered
• Dyna ignition- FUBAR
• cover screw thread bosses-FUCT
• handlebars- bent
• right mirror- road rash, usable but should be replaced
• instrument cluster- outer and inner casings obviously damaged beyond repair but I still have those parts from the old one. hopefully no major internal damage.
• both right blinkers might be savable.
• engine- I sheared off the ignition rotor bolt and one of the pick ups was smashed the other pickup didn't do very well either. I'm either going to have to replace the crankcase or have some repairs done..

Possibly damaged is the headlight and/or bucket. It was a bit skewed but I'm not sure how permanent the damage is...

I have a new dent in the tank nothing huge but it's definitely an addition to the over-all character.

I can't believe how quick and hard I went down, I was just pulling through a LH turn, pretty much straight and my rear just bucked hard right and went to swing back hard left, I'm not even sure if it was due to any counter action I might have taken but the next thing I know I was down in the middle of the road. I'm actually glad I came down on the right side. I just got through replacing everything on the the stator side including a NOS rotor.

I was afraid of that. Did you pick up the pieces? The spark advance bolts on the end of the crank. It can be replaced.

I picked up everything I could find and threw it in my lunch bag. The cover literally shattered into at least a dozen pieces. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

That sucks.
I am glad that you are OK.
Bikes can always be fixed but even a small crash like this can change your life.

Shit man that sucks. I had a lowside a couple years ago in very similar situation, i was in a parking lot not really paying attention and lowsided on some sand. very glad i had the case savers. hope you get it sorted out.
