Title: Luck ran out (Thanks Jeff @ Monsterparts) Post by: ItsaDuc on July 01, 2011, 04:35:47 AM Freshly sealed asphault + cold tires + handful of brakes = busted shifter + bent bars + infamous make the beast with two backsing tank dent.
7 years of good luck ran out. I was somewhat superstitious about these threads and would avoid them like the plague. Now I can chime in >:( Gear worked like it should. Pride took most of the blow, followed by a bruised elbow, shoulder, hip. I guess I can now do a "Jeff at Monsterparts is DA Man" thread now too.

Your pride will heal. The bike.... can be fixed [evil].

The bike.... can be fixed [evil]. that makes me think of Shane Falco in "The Replacements" "Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever." in all seriousness though...you lived to tell the tale and can move on from this, and this is the most important thing!

If they don't get a little beat up... you're not trying hard enough. :P Seriously though, coulda been a lot worse! Title: Re: Luck ran out Post by: Howie on July 02, 2011, 02:44:42 AM Most important is you are OK. Some say any accident you walk away from is not a bad accident. As long as you learn something I think there is truth to that statement. Of course, there are much better ways to learn.

Just got all my parts needed except for the shifter which is on order. (out of stock sucks) I was like a kid on Xmas morning when the wife said there was a box for me on the kitchen table. ;D Thanks Jeff...you DA MAN ;) [beer] Title: Re: Luck ran out (Thanks Jeff @ Monsterparts) Post by: Duc796canada on July 14, 2011, 08:25:39 PM Good to hear you you are okay and were wearing gear.
