Did you fall off that thing?   ^^^  :o

 

If you did, I'd be crying.  :(

I'm not a big street bike guy, but that is a gorgeous bike.

 

Yep, hit a "Curb" of new concrete, 4" lip, sharp edge of concrete when new pavement covers old black top and they forgot to place temp asphalt for a little ramp, a dozen cars had front blowouts.

I hit at 39Mph because i was just throttling up coming on to the freeway. (Low speed Wobble)

Sliced front tire in half,  $12.5K to "Re-Fresh " ride.

Likely the worst part was the wife was 6 car links behind me, never saw me go down, but drove up on it.

She saw me, and a guy walking back to her saying "He's Alive" :wacko2:

^ Roger that, its raining down here too. For the next 3 to 4 days so they say. Time for indoor projects once the weekend comes around. Have to take the better half to LAX Saturday morning, she's going to Peru to see/take care of MIL. MIL is now 95 and living with SIL which is a much better situation then trying to live by herself. Hoping the round trip to the airport is only 4 hours, wish me luck.

She gets a trip to Peru which means you should get a trip to Hope.

Glad it wasn't worse. Not a good feeling when you know you're going down while on a bike. Been there, twice. Neither one my fault. Between my two street bike wrecks....2 totaled bikes, 3 totaled cars. One of my brothers was always amazed that I would spend $600 on a helmet.

Hey Bab

Case you have no clue, you are ON the "Friendly" Thread.

HERE, you get "LIKES" when YOU give them. period.

CEC is "The" only one i let slide. i have confronted him and he REFUSES to "LIKE" anyone.

Some kind of Virus in Texas i suspect.

 

I like you and your comments, kick down, and you can count on me.

Wife just rolled in from the Casino, fleeced the Indians she did!

She Pinched those boys for 5 Bones, well done.

 

The Rv interior work continues, taking a break wile the Locktite Foam goes off.

I wish i was working on the Stereo, few months off for that yet.

 

Winter is :pwk_bs:

Im feelin it's road trip time, we could use a few days rest from all this retirement BS.

I just ask the wife,  Redding outing?, local concert, Chef @ the local Irish Pub, stay @ the local casino for $50 a night.

Yep, this is a good thought.
