Marcarl Posted May 30, 2012 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2012 And so it happened,,,,, Scamper, that trusty steed, knowing that she was to travel for a long ways this weekend, and that her master was going to fully depend on all her resources and expertise, and that the conditions might not always be as desired, she thought it best to lay down for a much needed rest,,,, trouble is, that at her age she laid down a little faster than what she might have planned and broke one of her wings,,,, ya, sad but true, but I did remind her that at the far end of our journey there would be a brand new one waiting for her. She was feeling so sad about her injury that she even lowered her eyes,,,, poor girl, I felt so sorry for her laying there, showing her under belly,, not often some one gets to see that side of her, she was glad it was only me and her together. Actually: Got her up on the floor jack, and then played with the kick stand,,, decided to lower her to the floor again, and thought the KS was down,,, until I felt that she started to lean a bit further than normal, and then further than further and then???????????????????? Donation time and a new wing,,,, there goes another $30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted May 30, 2012 Share #4 Posted May 30, 2012 Hey, perfect time to change the tire, fuel filter, and detail the undercarrage... Funny, I have a similar picture of Goldie from several years ago... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted May 31, 2012 Share #5 Posted May 31, 2012 Whats with you guys. You drop it hard and the first thing you go and grab is a camera ? I am sure I would go over and get it standing up straight very quickly. Glad your were not under it. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
friesman Posted May 31, 2012 Share #6 Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) Funny thing ,Ive got pics of my 85 in the same prone position. Maybe the 85's just favour that position to rest up before a long trip. Brian Edited May 31, 2012 by friesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine does....NOT THAT I've ever experienced it! PLUS, he probably doesn't have "a guy" near by that drives over with a camera to take a pic of every goof he makes. I only have two words for that old fart though....TRAINING WHEELS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted May 31, 2012 Share #8 Posted May 31, 2012 When an old nag gets down like that a decent man would put her down in a humane manner and give her a decent burial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share #9 Posted May 31, 2012 Whats with you guys. You drop it hard and the first thing you go and grab is a camera ? I am sure I would go over and get it standing up straight very quickly. Had to wait for assistance,,, my leg was no into pushing and there was help close by,,, so camera time,,, maybe others wouldn't feel so bad then,,,,,, mostly though, it's, get that thing back up right pronto. Brad Funny thing ,Ive got pics of my 85 in the same prone position. Maybe the 85's just favour that position to rest up before a long trip. Brian Yep, I think they older they get the wiser they become. Yeah that, and I can't figure out why he lets it go over so far! Doesn't the engine guard STOP it at 45 degrees?

I only have two words for that old fart though....TRAINING WHEELS. You can count yourself lucky to have somebody so close by with a camera, that way you'll be able to remember things that have happened and the rest of us would know the truth of the matters. When an old nag gets down like that a decent man would put her down in a humane manner and give her a decent burial. The older they get the more comfortable they become,,,, only a few of us know what it's like to ride a gentle steed at this age, or were you talking about some Southerner we all know???

Trader Posted May 31, 2012 Share #13 Posted May 31, 2012 Carl's probably on his way to Don's MD....but I THINK that lift is from Princess Auto, which is Canada's equivilent to Harbor Freight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a 1000lb MC lift, foot pump with a drop out panel. I think I paid about $300 for it at Princess Auto (kind of the same as Harbour Freight) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire9 Posted May 31, 2012 Share #15 Posted May 31, 2012 Oh that sucks- sorry to see. At least you didn't lean it into another bike with you in between it- that's my trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
