Near disaster last night
 

So I get home from work last night and am parking th ebike in the driveway. I put down the kickstand, or so I thought, and go to get off the bike I lean it over, then with no kickstand gravity takes over:panic: Fortunatley I was close to the back porch so I braced the bike with my body on the porch. Of course no one was around and I was in an awkward position to push it back up. I thought about laying it down and then getting fully off the bike but realy didnt want to do that. Finally I swung my righ tleg off the bike so I could get under it and push it back up. So in the end all was well and I after being kinda cold riding home I was sweating in my gear

hahaha... You poor thing. How's the pride? Still intact?

prety much, fortunatley there were no witnesses:dthumb: I did feel like an idiot holding the bike there while trying to figure out what to do. In retrospect I am glad the proch was there otherwise it would have hit the ground.

Tom

At least you saved the bike if not your pride Tom :D

'Tis always better to damage ones pride than harm the machine

Or both.

Good job being patient. Not everyone can be.....

lol, its been sooooo long since i've had any drops or near misses. i'm prolly due for one any day now.

i prolly make up for in in crashes though.

Steve + guardrail = ...

that I was lucky with this year, had 2 crashes at the track last year but only a few off road excursions this year so thats always good.

my gsxr did fall off the jack stands though

Tom

that poor machine has been through so much without you doing more to it :lol:
