Nothing quite like watching your girlfriend go down!

[ny08r6]

..take your minds out of the gutter! On the way home last night the gf pushed her fz6 a little to hard on the turns and slid into a flip (quite the sparkshow) Shes is ok..and the bike needs a little work, but all in all not too bad. The givi crash cage saved the engine and most of the bike for the crash (the initial impact actually bent the cage up into the cover!)

and now for the pics:

all in all not too bad..the slide on the left side didn't do much damage short of a dent in the tank from the drag bars..the flip onto the right side broke off the foot peg (anyone got one to sell me?) and cracked the hell out of the grab bar and right rear fairing. she bashed her head pretty hard but luckily wore her gear and just has a sore knee

Glad to hear that your GF is OK. Sounds like a scary sight for sure!

That scenario...watching a friend wreck out or heaven forbid a g/f or spouse has gotta be gut-wrenching. I'm so glad everybody was ok ..........

 

[Have2BeFree]

I'm so glad your girlfriend is ok! Wow that givi crash cage really works well :thumbup:

 

[LERecords]

glad to hear she is ok.. i agree that the crash cage seemed to do its job.. hopefully it wont need that much work

 

[FZ1inNH]

Damn! Sorry to hear about her off and glad she is OK! Kudos for her wearing gear!

 

[sxty8goats]

Glad to hear she is ok. I have a very simmilar dent in my tank... fun stuff.

Glad she's ok.

Is she just an aggressive rider :rockon: and pushed too much on the street? or did she just go beyond her skill level?

Either way, glad you'all had the protection.

I think I've seen just way too many of these types of posts here and other places in last few days. This weekend, even I had an "oh shoot" situation on my cruiser.

I think I want to get set of those crash bars, and it's great that she is ok.

 

[darkrider]

That just sounded all kinds of wrong...lol. Glad she's ok. I once watched a lady friend of mines that I was teaching how to ride crash into a bunch of bushes at low speed, all I could do is laugh!!! She popped up laughing as well...good times...good times!

Glad that the GF is ok and the cae did what it was meant to do!

Bike looks good considering that it highsided!

 

[Kazza]

Lucky! Engine crash bars seemed to do their job.

Glad she was geared up and is ok.

Good luck with the repairs.

The engine guard seem to do a better job than a frame slider in this aspect.

 

[VEGASRIDER]

Like everyone else said, I'm glad she's okay. I don't know who she is, or what she looks like, but she's a 10 in my books for riding.

I wish I was lucky enough to have a girlfriend, yet alone ride too!

Oh by the way, no offense to her, but I love the title to your thread.

Classic!

Hey glad your alright, and the girlfriend, I read the post and took some glances at the pictures and noticed you had a tore seat. I am sure she was upset about it and I want to help out with the bike. I have a stock seat off my 2004 fz6 I am not using and thought you might need it. I will give it to you free as long as you pay the shipping on it. Its a pretty scary thought to watch someone you know go down family, friend, girlfriend, etc. An thank god for the crash bars, I am impressed enough to buy a set for myself. The seat is in great condition with no tears. I have been trying to sell it but I think you need it more than me.

Glad your lady is ok. That crash bar did it's job well. Glad I recently added one to my FZ.

 

[Humperdinkel]

OUCH !!!!!!! Glad your girlfriend is OK , good luck with the repairs...

 

[abraxas]

A good crash is any you can walk away from.

But oh man that bike looks unhappy

Glad your lady isn't hurt ... peace

 

[Jarad]

Just joining the party now... I can't imagine the gut drop as she was going down... must have been in your boots! :jawdrop:

Glad to hear everyone is alright and you are able to show the rest of us the nice job the engine guard did... wow... I am impressed...
