Title: Lowsided my Baby today!!
Post by: RodeoClown on August 22, 2008, 11:13:31 AM
Fak! I just lowsided my bike today at lunch!! I never go out for lunch! I was going through an intersection when a LEO from the oncoming turning lane threw his lights on and the car in front of me locked up in the middle of the intersection. I had to lock it up and lost the front end and lowsides! What a pisser… Of course none of the parts I really wanted to replace or mod are the ones that got damaged. Fortunately I am pretty good sans a bruides hip. Jacket, Gloves and boots did the job. The khakis even held up pretty well.

Bike…Broken(rightside):
Frame Slider
Rizoma Clip-on
Scared Clutch cover
Scared and dented Carbon Leo Vince
Tank…pretty much F’d up

As for now that is all I can tell. I have to pick it up at 5. Fortunately it was right in front of the police barracks so they let me park it there. I guess it is not too bad but I didn't want her to be out of commission and if I had extra money wanted it to go to other mods.

What a horrible day! I usually never go out to lunch, I just stay here and work out. Thanks for letting me vent. [bang]

If their just scared calm them down and they ought to be all right  [cheeky]

Sorry to hear about the lunch time spill.  I know that story.  Hope everything comes back together all right for you.  If you were close to me I would say come over and switch out what ever you need.  I am dragging my feet on taking off the aftermarkets before salvage gets it.
