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......  :'( :'( [bang] Luckily, it fell on me so it had a pretty soft landing.. Still, bent the handle bars and broke the mirror... :(

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....

:( 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?
