Bushr your gonna have to figure out another way cause ya can't spin the wheels to clean those ugly spokes if it in gear.. maybe just use one eye....

years ago I rode st8 into a BIG cement lite pole for the same reason - distracted....
I guess I shoulda learned eh??


Some of us never learn! several years ago I was water skiing, the tow boat went around a large house boat, and then made a hard turn to avoid an island, A bunch of bikini clad twinkies on the boat started waving and caught my attention, I waved back, didn't see the island and well.. I was lucky it was sand and not rocks...

Re:god looks after dummies 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Round 2.. Sunday. I had my bike parked really close to a brick wall, and when I started it up and stood it up, the only thing I could think of was "don't bump the wall, that'll scratch it up." Well, I got away from the wall no problem but forgot about padlocking the forks (the 08 has a hole for it.. not sure about previous years?) Anyway, cracked the throttle a bit and stood it up to straighten out and.. the wheel wouldn't turn, she just flopped onto the other side and I did an oh so graceful flip off it, dropped the f-bomb, and... well, my 3 day old Cobra Fatty bars paid for themselves Minor, minor cosmetic damage and I actually had to laugh at it because it could have been oh so much worse.

Cowboys like us sure do have fun, racin the wind, chasin the sun. We\'ll take the long way around back to square one. Today we\'re just outlaws out on the run. There\'ll be no regrets, no worries and such, for cowboys like us.
