My latest mod...

...was not intentional.


I am embarrassed to say how much this little mistake has cost me. Let's just say it was an expensive lesson in proper kickstand deployment.

Time for a little DVM therapy.

I joined the same club while visiting Niagara Falls with about 20 other bikes. We all pulled over to see the locks. I flicked it down too hard and it popped back up without me knowing...then kept leaning left until i rested it one cylinder. Gas started spilling out the top of my filled tank...everyone just watching me wondering what the hell is wrong with that guy.

I still wonder what the hell is wrong with that guy! ;). Memorial day about five years ago, Dave Oates had a bbq with all his skateboarder buddies. I rode my Buell over and parked in front of his house (maybe 30 dudes there). My kick-stand accident was a bit delayed, but my bike tipped over, braking my clutch lever making a loud crunch'crash. Shit happens. A couple of the guys were laughing at me, real fucking dick heads, that to this day would gladly bitch slap. They had no idea of how emotionally painful it is to have your bike tip over and get even a little broken.

Hey Tom... I agree with the "Bitch Slap" and I to have had the embairising moment of the "Fuck-me What Happened" when I was at a Bike Day at a local Drag Strip in East Orlando Fl. I THOUGHT it was down? and then the whole damn thing was down on the ground. WTF do ya do? Pick it up... look it over... grab a cold beer and deal with it! By the way... there was only a couple of HUNDRED people around!
