The Bacon Junkie

I dropped my brand new (to me) 999 in the garage while checking the tire pressure.  [bang]

I was on the right side of the bike checking the front.  I turned the bars to the right to get a better angle on it.  It must have moved forward just enough the the kickstand retracted.  I heard a *click* and the bike sloooooowwwwwly started tipping over.  I grabbed the right clip-on and the frame, but I couldn't keep her up.  She landed on my roomie's brand spankin' new 696. :o

Luckily her frame slider and passenger peg caught my bike, no damage to hers, but a broken DP mirror with integrated signals and two less-than-an-inch scratches on mine.   :P

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

As it's been said. It happens to all of us. Shit happens. :P
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.

I got catapulted through my yard by the GS1150ES (weighed around 570lbs) when my footing slipped in the driveway.
