Good deed for the Day

[drunkfatguy]

So After lunch today me and a Co worker were standing outside the shop and noticed a Bike lying on it's side, On Closer Inspection I see it's a beautiful red 996 laying against a curb being supported by its helmet underneath. It seems the new asphalt in the parking lot had given way under the kickstand. we got it back up on 2 wheels and shored up the kickstand foot with what we had on hand- a 15" chopsaw blade and left a note letting the owner what had happen and to check his helmet and bike for any damage. He came by later on and thanked us both, I was back in the shop working on making some simple Kickstand plates for a few other of us who rode just due to the new asphalt where we sometimes park out of some spare aluminum plate. I told the owner I just couldn't stand seeing that really nice 996 lying on the ground like that and had to do something and offered him one of the plates I was making. Today I felt pretty good going home at the end of the Day regardless of having to deal with the Veterans Administration and the USN DES.

I just wanted you to know there is a special section for the kindhearted

What is a "USN DES"?

What is a "USN DES"?

USN is United States Navy...DES...no clue...maybe Drug Exposition Services?....

[Monster Dave]

Nice job!  

I complain a lot about motorcycle parking here in AZ because there is NEVER any shaded motorcycle lots. But the one thing I can say though is that where I work they were kind/smart enough to put a section in about a foot and a half wide that runs the length of the lot that's concrete amidst the blacktop to keep what you witnessed from happening.

Good on ya

Was the bike damaged?

DES Stands for Disability Evaluation system and the bike had a few scratches on it from the helmet. The DES is a Nightmare.

Everytime I see a bike on it's side with no one around it reminds me of a hurt dog, so I'll always try to help out and get the bike back upright, even if it's a full dress land yacht. I can usually get someone to help with those. Good looking out for the Duc owner. Good Luck with the DES. Almost everyone I talk to agrees it's a nightmare, but I have seen a few folks get a really good eval, so hang in there.
