First Crash | 2022 Honda CB500F

When you see icy roads, keep your 2-wheelers in the garage.

[@merson812]

I think that’s the key - ice - frost - snow - leave the bike at home.

[@JoshNunnyt]

All very well saying that but you need preventative measures for those who don't have a choice.

[@RexMuffin]

@@JoshNunnyt Don't have a choice? How could you not have the choice to ride on icy roads?

[@Torcalie]

@@RexMuffin only form of transport and i need to get to work to live?

[@RexMuffin]

@@Torcalie If you live in an area that gets below freezing temperatures in winter and have a motorcycle as your only vehicule, that mistake is on you. You had the choice to get a car instead. If it gets icy because of abnormal weather in your area, you can always choose to call off and not risk your life by riding over icy roads.

[@johnosaurusrex9496]

That is scary how it happens so fast. Almost unavoidable. Hope you’re ok and the bike too. I love that bike.

@Brady Opalenik you ever play something on your phone in the background while you're multi tasking? Like, you hear and are glancing but not paying close enough attention to the screen to see the details? That was me. I was shaving and had the phone playing. Glanced down just as he bit it lol.

[@bendenisereedy7865]

Really feel for you and hope you and the bike weren't too badly damaged. Good for you, going out in freezing weather and enjoying the empty roads but the lesson is... cold morning after frost, road dries quickly in sunshine but beware the patches of deep shade on north-facing areas of hill or forest where black ice can linger all day.

Well, that explains the cone. Notice how the sun wasn't shining at that side of the mountain. This has been insightful if you ride in the cold and something to consider from now on. Glad you're okay.

[@davidmlee8448]

true. beware the dark side of moutnains on cold mornings

bit of a dumb place to put the cone, would be a lot better 20 yards further back so you can have time to react and straighten the bike up

Really, anytime the air temperature is around freezing, any moisture on the pavement will be slippery. At least that is how it is here in Wisconsin.

Also over bridges. A seemingly warm sunny day can be freezing over bridges and shady mountainous areas.

you should consider that the driver did a dumb mistake by riding a bike during this weather...

[@s1Lence_au]

@@overpowerman8777 i live in a part of the world that gets no snow/ice, when this happens do you just not ride or is there a way around it?

[@klementomeri5910]

Glad you're fine mate! I had the same bike last year and I crashed it once but I had a pair of R&G sliders on it, they protected the engine case perfectly and even the sliders were fine. The case didn't get a single scratch. I also had side panniers from hard plastic which protected the end of the bike. I don't know of you like panniers on your bike but you should at least consider some sliders. Just 50bucks can save you a lot. You can also have some handlebar protectors, they look cool as well. Take care buddy, don't ever give up riding!

[@tf9888]

that's interesting to hear! I might be getting a cb500f and it sounds like R&G sliders with SW Motech lever guards might be a good option - what do you think?

Damn, harsh lesson about riding in the cold, but an important one to learn. I try to stick to popular roads since the road temperature will be higher and thus less ice. Riding a back canyon road like this is risky business. Not only are the chances of an incident high, but the extent of injury or damage from an incident are also very high considering it's a canyon. Glad you're ok!

[@teejyy]

Damn man, riding respectably too. Sorry to see it. Hope you and bike are all good!

My dude was going slow and everything but when there is black ice out you shouldn’t be riding. Glad your ok, lesson learned….

[@democratsarepedos]

Brutal. I ride a CB500F but it's 2014 and what I like best about these things is that dropping them like that isn't RIP for the bike at all. Falling on the exhaust side is definitely worse, but all it's ever done for mine is snap the peg off, bend the mirror, and scraped the handle. Things are tough, not too heavy, and will haul you around the country no problem. Some advice, as a rider with this bike longer than you, the first thing that will GO will be your clutch. Mine is very janky at this stage, even a slow release of the lever, you'll feel the catch almost instantly, as opposed to a new bike where it's smooth. That's it for the bike itself, obviously tires, fluids, chain, and extras need maintenance but the bike is solid.

[@Scampi95]

I have crash bars on my 2015 CB500F and when you drop it the worst thing that happens is a scuffed bar end and maybe a loose mirror!

[@PaodeCasa]

Hello, greetings from Brazil! I bought a new CB500F 2023 in September 2022, I live in the south, where snow can happen and there are many mountain roads, I don't know if you already had experience with motorcycles but we can't give up, despite the repair costs!

[@chinunam9455]

3 months ago I had a very similar crash. Same like you, it was only me, low- moderate speed, I just remember that I turned a little and in a split second I was down. Zero chance for any preventative action. My shoulder took all the impact and I broke my collarbone. Could be worse. It’s already healed more or less. Since then I look down much more often to check for dangerous surface.

[@Rufio1975]

Why would you ride in that condition knowing there could possibly be ice? It's not a 4X4.

Saw that was ice from a mile off, man you gotta watch the road

I was thinking the same thing. He was at least driving slow and cautiously but, the road was clearly nothing but a sheet of ice.

[@ioandragulescu6063]

I remember last spring, I encountered a portion of road with flash fresh snow, about 2-3 cm thick. Only about 800 m of road, no more. It was so sudden that I thought I hit smth when I entered it, doing about 100 kph. My back wheel started to fish tail and I was waiting, resigned, to loose the front but when that didn't happen, I eased down on the throttle, back wheel stabilized and I slowed down to 20 or so. Being afraid to even touch the brakes, I just continued thinking what da hell am I going to do and then the snowed portion just ended. I was lucky enough that it was a straight leveled road. Another thing that helped me was that my front tyre is pretty narrow (110) and I think it was just cutting through the soft snow to the asphalt. The back was most likely not, at 150 and that's why it was fish tailing until I slowed down and allowed the weight of the bike to help the back tyre punch through the snow. Thing is it was a freak weather event, that is completly unusual in that region and time of year and fortunatly it ended all right. Scariest moment I had on the bike.

Absolutely normal. When u ride, everything heats up (disc brakes, engine and the whole bike). When something heats, its size goes up. But as soon as you stopped the engine and the bike, it goes back to normal temp and what you hear is the metal and every piece that size went bigger (we talking tenth of millimeter) that comes back to its normal size.

Honestly saw that coming, i am hyper paranoid of anything reflective on the road after getting burned once, feels kinda pointless driving a bike cuz of it.
