Gambodia · DTR Senior Member

it don't look too bad tbh my DTX has seen the wrong side of tarmac at about 50 ish and all i did was bend my forks (Very slightly) and snap my indicator off the rear ,and bend my handlebars ,scratch my front fender and headlight cowling . a woman driver's what happened to me , what happened to you???

Don't pussy out of riding after a little crash. Just learn to avoid oil and to look for it next time. :)

Look at Nath and Ross, broken bones and what not both are still dying to get back on a bike. Don't let it put you off lad.

Dt Danny · Guru

Nathlaad · DTR Legend

DT's are made of cheese, the Tank of a DRZ comes out better than me, every time

Harry · Guru

Glad you're alright but like said, isn't that bad nothing that a quid here and there won't sort. Definitely try and get back on it even if it's just taking it easy. You will be glad if you do.

Threw mine down the road at around 35. I I had to replace was the throttle tube and just touched up the rest could hardly even notice. Huge advantage over those sporty bike things.

Calum122 · Guru

Lol bigger bike. You've crashed a 125. The only time i've ever crashed has been in the snow. And i mean what do expect. If you can't ride a 125 how are you going to ride a bigger bike.

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

the ones that make me laugh is when someone rights off there 600 and then buys a thou lol

guy at my college crashed his cbr600f so bought a fire blade then crashed that 8 days later in the exact same place

now has another cbr 600f hahaha

Calum122 · Guru

Toy i think we all know people who've done/said that. Crash their bike and want a bigger bike. Its like learn the basics first. Thats just my opinion though

ToySoldier · DTR Legend

im lucky i allready have the bigbike so haha im all good

Cameron · Guru

pft that's nothing, I rode my rmx at full throttle into this tree and did this lol

Literally flew about 20ft, I thought it was brilliant, pissed off I didn't have it on camera haha!

Had another one on my dt when it was low on compression, tried a hill climb, stalled it, rolled back down and smashed it into a tree backwards, **** knows how I don't manage to hit these trees lol

Dt Danny · Guru

yeh cal it was one mistake and that was because of the diesel on the floor and how would i fix that back end ?

threadsta · DTR Senior Member

Dt Danny · Guru

Calum122 · Guru

GADGET · Guru

just rest the bike on summit under the frame , take the back wheel off and measure from the swinger to the subframe both sides take a refrence from someone else on here and correct it by either hittin it ... hmm or some kind of tube over the end bars of th frame (bit by bit) blankstare or use rachet straps and wind it back to true with the measurements evileye evileye evileye

Some people get a misconception, that the lack of power on the previous bike caused the crash, so get a bigger one. Others just want a bigger bike and decide that now they've crashed its a good opportunity to upgrade, but of course in most instances, the crash has damaged their confidence on the bike, so they're even worse and on a bigger bike.

I don't think the crash was actually Dan's fault, he had no control of the fact their was diesel there. The only thing he should do is ride with full gear on. Unless it was raining or he was looking at the road, he would've never saw the diesel on the road. Perhaps he was leaning too much as well, but I wasn't there so I don't know how he was riding or how his speed was, but going over diesel is like going over black ice, its terrible in shoes, never mind a bike going 30+ MPH.

Also Dan, you'll need replacement bars if they're bent. You cannot bend bars back into shape, it weakens them too much.

Some woman on another bike forum bent her handlebars back into shape after having an off, was riding along a while later and the side of her handlebars where they bent just fell off front the stress in the metal. Was something like that, my memory sucks. Anyway, get new bars if they're bent. ;)
