Real simialr situation... only she cut right in front of me. I don't think the Monster would have handled the impact as well as the old GS1100e I had did.

NO Shenanigans!!! They were swapping leather pants, what more do you need to call "shenanigans"?

Was about the closest reason that I will ever get to use the Evil Monkey from family guy

Wow... this thread went downhill.

(Through no fault of my own, of course!)

The only other thing I hit, or hit me rather, was a Big Gulp cup full of ice that an old lady tossed out her window on the 101... at 80... in morning rush hour traffic.

That one hurt. The cup bounced once on the pavement, and right up into my shoulder. Of course the lid came off on impact and my helmet and shield were covered in ice and whatever backwash was left in the cup.

Just looked at the pics of the incident.

I'd fix the signal, remove the innards from the engine case. ..

and leave the tank as is

This reminds me of the time I was riding down the main road in town (3 lanes each way with a center turn lane). I'm cruising along....right at the 40mph speed limit and a dog (size of a boxer) runs from the sidewalk right into my right foot. I was in the left lane, too. My back end slide a little and there was some hair on my bike, but by the time I shut it down, the dog was gone.

I only think about if that dog had been .25 seconds earlier, he would have hit the front wheel and I definitely would have gone down.

I had the same thoughts.... But I knew Rosie wouldn't like it. She likes gettin' down and dirty, but this was a bit much for her.
