Luck ran out (Thanks Jeff @ Monsterparts)

« 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 Angry

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. Roll Eyes

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!

Glad you're OK. Shit happens. Like ung said, you'll get over it and you now have a chance to work on your bike. Maybe time for some new mods. waytogo

And don't forget to tell her you're sorry. Grin

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Shit happens. The bikes are tools and toys. If they don't get a little beat up... you're not trying hard enough. Tongue

Seriously though, coulda been a lot worse!

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.

Rather than start another thread, figured I'd make good on what I said....

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. Grin

Thanks Jeff...you DA MAN Wink
