As someone else said, he is a respected journalist and probably got more miles and experience that you, me and the rest of the contributors to this thread combined. And stuff like this can happen to anyone - we've all made bonehead moves before and it really is pure chance whether you end up with a bike lying on its side with a broken mirror or at bottom of the harbor.

This sport is dangerous.

I don't often have the paniers on, so when I do, I have to watch out.
I've already taken a mirror off a friend's R1200RT, and a tail light off another friend's KLX250!

Hope that guy is Ok, and didn't suffer any injuries.

 

[sail2xxs]

Ouch. I hope he was ok. At least he has one more story to tell at the corner pub!

But I STILL want a new FJR!!!

::022::

 

[klunsford]

That comes from not giving yourself enough room for the wide rear end on that bike... LOL ::001::

 

[~TABASCO~]

That bike has 'merely a flesh wound'...... The new FJR is so awesome it can stand up to this type of riding.. Just dust it off, its a Yamaha !

The good news is that the bike didn't even get wet.
