So Im in my living room playing a little call of duty on line and all of a sudden I hear my dad run out the back door and start yelling STOP!!!!!! I put down the controller, in the middle of a 13 kill streak may I add , and run out side. All I see is my sisters 05 Explorer and behind it out of sight is where I park my bike. So at this point I realized she just backed into my 2 week old Street glide but because her truck is blocking the view I cant see the damage. I run the the other side an expect my bike to be laying on its side but I look and there is my baby fine as can be. Thank god my dad yelled to stop her cause when the truck came to a rest it was less than an inch from my ride. Literally I couldnt even fit my index finger between my hard bag and her bumper. [sm=bangbang.gif] Talk about a close call! The best part was my dad whom loves my bikes more than me starts yelling........................... AT ME! [sm=confused06.gif] Telling me I shouldnt have been parked there haha. I admit we have a big paved yard and no one ever parks where I did except for me on hot days cause its a shaded spot. But apparently since there was never any close calls and all of a sudden this happens and Im now not supposed to park there . Just thought I tell my story haha.
We have 6 cars in my house hold and we all have are own spots to park and every now and then some one parks somewhere odd but you dont see me backing up into them now do you!!!!! haha. I actually was kinda upset I had to deal with a banged up bike and fixing it but I had a smile on my face ready for the worst. The old me , 3/5 years ago, would have started rocking out car windows left and right but the new and improved Bradley held his composure haha. Im just glad nothing happened, I can only imagine what would break if a SG tipped over [:@]
similar thing happened to my my sister drives an equinox and since we were cleaning out the garage my nightster and my dads road king were on the side walk and my sister decides to do a k turn and backs up and hops the curb but thank god the mailbox was there to stop here lol she bent the mailbox over but it didnt hit my bike. i was about to kill her lol.
