Well, if my car not running isn't bad enough. I went for a short ride to just relax for a bit. Got home and as I was preparing to get off my 1125R I forgot to put my kickstand down. Sigh... Well, now I need a foot peg, clutch lever and got to fix some scratches on the rad cover. Sigh... I'm just going to stay in the rest of this day and hide. Some power hates me right now and I wish I knew what I did. |

Sigh, 8 years of riding and that happens. Ah well, happens to us all no matter the years. |

During homecoming, Fordrox aka Chris Rogers, switched bikes with me. He on my 1125r and me on his Ulysses. I wasn't used to the tall saddle and as I backed out of my driveway, almost dumped it over at the curb apron. Took everything I had to keep it upright. Sure was cool to see my bike from another seat at speed!!!!! |

I have to say it was damn nice to ride that 1125R; though I would have cried if you (Steve) had dropped my Uly. |

Well, I guess it gives me an excuse to order the LSL footpegs. Least if those break I don't have to replace the whole thing. Anyone got how to buff out really minor scratches on the rad cover? |

Oh goodness, I can't belive I'm going to admit this! I pulled into a Dunn Bros (local coffee shop) one Friday evening. It's literally next door to a "biker bar"- there were about 6 pirates in the lot, drinking beer and revving their engines. "What a bunch of tools" I thought to myself....as I pull into the coffee shop instead of the bar. I bumped the horn as I pulled the key out, which got me flustered. Then I got off the bike (notice that I didn't say anywhere in there that I put my kickstand down!). As the bike was tipping, all I could think was "What the heck is happening?!!". I was able to set it down very gently fortunately and had literally no damage....but boy did I feel dumb! |
