ME.
On the weekend I went to pick up an item across town on the bike.
When I arrive I find the driveway is not exactly flat but should be OK to park the bike in the usual fashion. So I flick the side stand out and head to this guy's
front door when I hear a crash. Knowing it's the bike sends a shiver down my spine and sure enough it's on it's side and I race over , pick it up and inspect the damage. Shit ! the bars are bent and damaged the tank :bang head:
The clutch lever is stuffed, mirror, bar end ,throttle grip,rear indicator need replacing and the tail has some damage:bang head:
After the shock settled in I came to the conclusion that the stand can't have been flicked all the way out and it 'walked' forwards and fell.
So I ride it back home ,twisted bars and all feeling depressed, get home and instantly order new parts and some other mods to make me feel better.
The tank and tail ar4 being fixed right now. So she will be like new once again:eusa_dance:
But wait there's more!... Monday a friend comes into work to collect a little job that I said I would do for him but hadn't yet had time to do it, so I said he could wait whilst I rushed over to the lathe to machine it for him.
Being in a hurry I had this piece of plastic stock hanging out of the lathe chuck and took too big of a cut with it poorly supported (which I should know better)
Anyway it goes "crash" in the lathe and wallops the end of my index finger just like someone smashed it with a hammer. The last joint on the finger is split underneath with blood everywhere,the nail has gone black I can't move the finger and it is swollen to the size of my willy and it looks black and blue.
Did I mention that it hurts? :bang head:
BUT wait there's more, ... I have trouble sleeping, ...I got a tattoo on the weekend and it's sore so I can't sleep on my left side, but I can't sleep on my right either because my finger throbs like a Mother. So I sleep like an upside down turtle and stare at the ceiling and dream about my smashed up bike.
Phuck it !!!:bang head:
