That's downright scary. How do your rotors look? One of those pad carriers looks a bit scored.

For my commute, i'm extremely happy with how little squaring is going on. 80% of my 125 mile round trip commute is rte 66..

I also have this going on:

SUCH CRAP!!! I got a new job, Yay! So i bought a box truck to use. Yay! so i went to pick up the truck, and used the aluminum ramp to get my Ducati on the back... And dropped the bike from halfway up......  Cry Cry bang head Luckily, it fell on me so it had a pretty soft landing.. Still, bent the handle bars and broke the mirror... Sad

Oh BTW, the cargo ramps for box trucks that have been used a bit are slippery as make the beast with two backs. Stripes of grip tape can help a bunch....

Sad That really sucks.

Don't neglect a visit to the doc if you're hurting a couple days still. A bike is not a light object to have fall upon one.

And what's the  plan for the truck?
