McJim's Short Notice Noobie Ride

[McJim]

Hmm that's strange, I thought only the tyres touched... if it hit the tyre fender I don't know how it would damage something in that area? Either way, I've been having a bad feeling all day, scared to check back here. I am _SO_ glad it wasn't serious.

A thousand apologies to you and your wife

Apparently your tail sticks out further than your rear wheel and it connected with the leading edge of my left hand side fairing just before the wheels touched.

I dunno - I didn't see it happen either - I'm very surprised the bike didn't fall over since the side stand holds it very upright.

At the end of the day it's fixed - think it was partially cracked anyway from the engine vibration - common Ducati issue.

No harm no foul - this is not an invitation for people to come and kick my bike though!

Wait until you hear him spout that shit in real life....then you can be scared. And to think legislation in New Zealand lets him be in charge of young impressionable minds......

I think the answer to all of this is...

You ain't seen nothing yet!

So I ain't chinese? And you ain't Scottish? And the world is flat? And motorbikes aren't fun? And crosswords aren't angry? And Earth is really Thrae? Ai yi yi señor! Speaking loco now! Just remember to gather your rosebuds where you may!

And is that a melted crayon on the sidewalk? Wait! I hear the footsteps of an egg steeped in the sauce of a qumqat, marinated slowly over a griddle which is casted from the slag of Mao's great leap forward! And verily, let it be said that a pinhole was invested into the back of a portrait of a monk living in penury!
