Default joe fall down go boom
well... today i went down, went for a good six ft slide, picked that sucker back up and rode it. We went on a ride today, a buddy of mine went to take off wiht his kick stand down still, i got on it to catch him before we took off, grabbed WAY to much front brake in the parkng lot, and she went out from under me! Embarased is not even close to what i was... 2 min before i was doing burn outs while waiting to leave, i just looked like an IDIOT! unreal... at least it was only right in front of about 200 bikes, ha ha ha!
damage: not to bad, scraped lever, cracked mirror... my saddle bag took most of it, did nto crack but got scraped up, my axel spikes actually acted as frame sliders for me... tank is fine, fenders are fine... pride, i left that behind!
ill snap some pics of the scoot tomorrow

Nothing worse than doing something like that in front of a **** load of people. How's the tank look?

There ya go!
You pissed off the Harley gods by fixing that IPB, Clutch, Chain Tensioner, Alt Rotor and seals before they could cause too much damage.

They will make you pay one way or the other.....
