Default Ouch!!!

One of the local MCs had their big, annual toy run today. We headed down there and there was 1000+ bikes. MCs, RCs, indies, and all the Starbucks Riders were out in force. I was standing there talking to a few Brothers when we heard this crunch. It was horrible. A guy about 20 feet away apparently didn't put his kickstand down all the way on his Ultra. It held for just long enough for him to get off, take of his helmet and set it on the tour pack. I guess that's all it needed, it fell over to the left. Luckily, his buddy parked to his left has a pretty strong kick stand. I say this because it was supporting the weight of his bike and then his buddies ultra too. That's a true friend....
