Moderator Posts: 2051 Re:Bike down 3 Years, 3 Months ago   My eyes would be too drenched with tears to even type the post! Only 9 miles and already got some battle scars. That's just not fair. Good luck getting her back up to snuff. Check ebay for the replacement parts and you might get a deal.

I dropped mine once just two weeks after a new custom paint job. Was at a friends ranch and his dog kept circling and circling me. I was beening cautious and watching the dog. Went to get off the bike and forgot to put the kick stand down. My leg broke the fall and I just got a small ding on the tank. sucks   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #163622 Frank_W (User) Riding The Filthy Sow! Platinum Boarder Posts: 3510 Re:Bike down 3 Years, 3 Months ago   I've dropped mine three times. Each time, the highway bar/peg saved me from taking any damage, other than to my pride. Sorry to hear about the damage to your baby... Good luck. Things I've learned: 1. Angled driveways and parking lots are to be avoided, or if they can't be, BACK into the parking spot. Backing out of an angled spot and then turning the wheel the way you would on a car, is a sure recipe for dropping the bike. 2. The front brake is a no-no at parking lot speeds and ultra-slow maneuvers. 3. Gravel parking lots are The Devil! I've never dropped my bike on one of them, but trying to gain purchase when trying to back out, is just murder. I haven't dropped my bike in months, but I'm always paranoid about it.   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/02/16 10:52 By Frank_W.   My Music Whatever...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #163625 chief802 (User) Firefighters do their best work when its HOT!

I'm a "glass is half full" kind of guy. You gotta look at the bright side, at least you got that out of the way for the season. the rest of us still gotta worry about it all summer!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #163655 ultrastar (User) Keep The Speedometer Side Up Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:Bike down 3 Years, 3 Months ago   Rubber Duck tough lession to learn don't park you bike facing down hill but your not the first to learn the hard way but with only 7 miles on her that really had to hurt to watch sorry   Logged     Keep The Speedometer Side Up http://s366.photobucket.com/albums/oo105/ultrastar1/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #163657 Ole (User) ^ Redneck ^ Gold Boarder Posts: 967 Re:Bike down 3 Years, 3 Months ago   Sorry to hear that she took a spill Rubber Duck.

Hopefully the insurance company will get you fixed up for the season.   Logged     2005 Silverado Chopped KZ   The administrator has disabled public write access. #163660 Darn (User) Don't forget, Never forget.
