I think My bike is jinxed....
This is not a whining thread, just WTF is up with my luck lately....
I bought the 636, had the fork,hb,db issues....
But that's just the start really... E-brake and I go to Clio to do a show, his bike comes un done 3 times during the trip....smashing my tail!
XDL nashville, got hit by the ghost rider
then tonight, i adjusted the foot brake, didn't like the adjustment, so i go to adjust it again, leaving my helmet and **** on, next thing i know i'm hit from behind by my buddy's bike, pushing me onto mine and sandwich'n me between the bikes! His bike is still running in gear! I freak out and probably strained every muscle in my body trying to he-man this thing off of me!
... All i know now is i have an *** load of scratches everywhere and my right knee is killing me... He low sided a SS O and the bike spun around, caught traction and aimed right for me and my bike...
Anybody else think they have a jinxed bike?

Re: I think My bike is jinxed....
I honestly felt the same way with my gsxr. When i got it there was nothing but problems and stupid *** crashes i hadn't done in over 3 years now. Smashed it when it shouldn't have broken and just all around bad luck. BUT then **** just stopped happening. Now i can't break it if i try. Its ghost ridden about 6 times on me with tall curbs EVERYWHERE but every time it just swerves around the curbs majically. So i say just stick with it. There will be shitty days, but there will also be days where you cant wad your **** up even if you try.
