So I get to work this morning, roll into my normal space put my side stand down, kill the bike, get up turn around and.... CRASH!!!

Turn back around and the bike fell over on the right side. I don't know if I didn't get the stand down good or what, I was in a hurry (I know, 1st mistake) but, it scratched up and loosened or broke the right rear turn signal. I have a flush gas cap and I guess it wasn't tight enough and it leaked gas as well. All in all it only pissed me off and hurt my pride! I don't think anyone saw though

I've been wanting to get some rear turns that are closer to the fender, guess I found my excuse... I think I read some where you can get the turns off a Duece? Any ideas, I have the smoked lens and would like to be able to keep them...

Later,
Jason

 

crash bars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I thought about it.

 

they save a lot of damage and you have a place to mount highway pegs

 

I feel for you. I know it made you sick when it happened.

 

I hate that for you, dude. I'm sure it SUCKS. I stalled my bike in traffic yesterday, first time i have stalled since liek the second week i had my bike. It's not really comparable, but i was pissed with myself.

 

Don't always look good though.

I feel for ya. My kick stand flipped up while I was leaning it over the other night. The spring is really tight. I was too far to stop it but it went down gental and damn I flung that thing back up while still strattling her.

How fast were you on that?

 

That's why they call em crash bars - so you don't hear the crash when the thing falls down.

 

I agree, the crash bars just wouldn't look right. I've seen a few sporties I liked em' on but, mostly not. JMO

I was pretty quick, gotta admitt there was a little shock so I kinda just stood there for a long sec. then I ran over, jumped over it and yanked it up like a red headed step kid!

I'm still just sick about it, I can see it out my window and I keep lookin' down there.

 

well on the bright side at least now you have a good reason to get those signals your want
