This happened today! So I bought my bike 9 days ago. A 2015 Yamaha fz07. I love it! But I'm sitting at a stop sign turn right onto a way road. I stall one, two, three times with someone sitting behind me. Which is rare for me I had never had a problem with this previously. Anyway so I appliedore throttle than what was necessary and didn't make the turn sharp enough and there I am in the opposite lane with traffic coming heads on. So I panicked and had a reflex reaction on the throttle which I've never done before. And launched me across the road and into the grass on the opposite side of the road. The bike slid in the sand. There I sat dumbfounded. That vehicle just sitting there probably thinking "what a dip***"
so a guy stops while I sit there and take a breather to calm down. I've got my bike sitting up right now and I'm drinking water checking to see if I broke anything. And he's like "what happened?" And of course I come up with some dumb shit about the clutch and blah blah blah stuck blah. He goes "mind if I test it?" So he tests it and duh there's nothing wrong with it. So there's my night.
Although it it is embarrassing I am lucky to not be more severely hurt and to only have broken a 25 dollar plastic piece on my brand new bike.
