BradT Posted February 16, 2010 Share #1 Posted February 16, 2010 Never guess what I done, I sort of dropped Naugh-T's new bike. Took it off the trailer, started it up and brought it down to the sidewalk and put the kickstand down. As I walked away and about 10-20 seconds later I turned back and it starts to fall over. I know the kickstand is down all the way but maybe with the slight slope it rolled forward. It was scary I picked it up but only after the signal light smashes, a couple other sratches and a bunch in the wind shield. Extremely happy there are No scratches in the paint. Then I thought how scary it will be to tell Naugh-T , who took it much better than I would have. No pics. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted February 16, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 16, 2010 Well...we've seen pics of the bike. What I want to see pics of now is those knots on your head. Seriously, I'm really sorry that it happened. I know it must have heartbreaking. Sounds like you can make it like new again pretty easily though.

Marcarl Posted February 16, 2010 Share #3 Posted February 16, 2010 You should have had Swifty there to lend some assistance, I hear he has experience in that sort of thing. Glad it wasn't any worse Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zfrebird4 Posted February 16, 2010 Share #8 Posted February 16, 2010 First, congrats on having a good marriage. Your lumps on your head will heal (in time). Second, you could have climbed on, zipped to the dealer, bought an identical one new, zipped home, and said nothing. ASSuming that the Bride never sees the check book. Third, I suppose I also need to learn when I poing my bike front down a slope to shut it off in gear, roll to enagement, THEN put the kidstand down. Never thought of that before cause never parked it that way. Good insight. See you've helped all us dangerous guys, and more especially those who are wealthy enough to have a bride. And I agree with the above. Don't think I would have posted this. I am sure the responses are only starting. My sympathy, and I'll work on feeling empathy!

Meguiar's plastx, it did a great job on my windshield when a 2x4 bounced off it. you can't even tell it was ever hit. You can get it at Canadian Tire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongobobny Posted February 18, 2010 Share #20 Posted February 18, 2010 Yes, I've used that stuff too and it does a pretty good job! I had a 1st gen windshield that was scratched up and hazy and it turned it into a useable shield until I got the Clearview... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
