I swear, I can't breathe watchin him do it sometimes. The funniest part is that he's so non-chalant about it that you can tell he's been doing it forever, hahaha!

Lol...there's a guy I know, and I **** you not, he has a triumph bobber that he just lays down like a kid does with a bmx bike. He'll roll up, dump it in the rocks or grass like nothin happened, and walk up and start talkin to us. I laugh so hard I'm almost in tears every time I see his ***. He's a weird guy. Very weird. He skateboards and smokes pot alot.[&:]

It must be true what they say,"pot smoking, smokes the brain".

Wind. I took my stand off a long time ago...looks hot. I live near the beach and it gets pretty windy, thankfully. I just lean her into the wind and she holds. I try not to park on calm days. If I have to, I'll try to find a couple of kids to hold her up for a while- throw 'em each a quarter and we're good.

Took my kickstand off to make my bike look mean and get rid of some weight. Now when its parked it keeps falling over. Just thought I would share my experience with you'all to save you from similar grief.

You didnt read the manual did you? Of course you can remove the side stand for that cool mean look. But when you do so its compulsory that you install sky hooks!
