Yep that's right two drops in 2 days & to make it fair I dropped it on the other side this time
7 of us hooked up for a ride this arvo, did a 100 odd Km's round the back roads here in Taranaki, was an excellent ride (not that ive never enjoyed any ride weit or )
Pulled up at Zanzibar cafe for a nice meal etc, had a great time, excellent company and conversation.
Anyway, so all the bikes are lined up out front........right out front like in the bloody window. Same deal as yesterday, was on a hill but this time it was on my dodgy hip side.......
Yeah that was it, it was my dodgy hips fault
*cough* bollocks
So yeah there I am bout to pull out & just lost it off to the left (down hill). Crapped off onto my hip which hurt a little but nothing major.
Cant say the same for the damage to the bike, luckily only cosmetic, no broken clutch lever or anything else, slightly scratched up mirror (brand new 2 days ago).
The pic only shows the top half of the fairing as the light in the garage isn't so good with the bike leaning over.
Might trade my bike boots for some platforms I think so I cant touch the ground with out tippy toeing lol.
70's cloths are back in right?
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded
Im just a lil too short for my bike me thinks, doesn't seem to take much of a hill for me to not touch the ground.

Let the tyres down and you should be able to reach the ground!!
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.

we will remember them
Lower bike seat perhaps? Plenty blokes get this done and end of problem. Get that bend in your knee and you'll be right.
Honestly B, I'm beginning to think I won't be taking you anywhere!!
You could at least provide me with a tshirt saying "He's not with me".
Perhaps your nick should be Manly Johnson and then you will mysteriously stop having all these ISSUES . . .
How hard is that to get done? Seriously think its a good idea now
You can slap me round the ears next week if it makes you feel better

Are you picking up all the bad stuff meant for others or what? Is this bike possessed? Do we have a burning at the ColdKiwi?
Take a deep breath and carry on
Cheers
Stu
A burning? Of bikes or humans?

What have you done to piss off the biker gods? I think you need to give it a nice polish, new filter and oil and the whole nine yards!
Ive it a week & washed it twice now
And fitted two new mirrors on wednesday & a brand new screen today
