I had a similar situation. I hit a beach ball once. You know the really big ones you see being knocked around a sporting events. I seemed to come out of nowhere, no damage, but glanced off the fairing and scared the piss out of me. |

Could be worse. I hit a deer with my F. Couldn't get the smell of burnt fur out of my leathers for months. My buddy got a skunk with his F. |

ya... I took my bike up to burbank and dropped about two quarts of oil on the freeway and the oil light finally came on so i have to push it for a mile or two......it looks like the $.03 plastic bag did something to the engine....
my morning didnt improve when the bike dropped into gear and fell over, ruining my tank and the master cylnder.....I hope nobody wants to fight me today..... they will lose....
Its all in rays hands now. |

:needpi........ uh nevermind.....
I was driving a cage before and got a flat tire... got the jack out and the tire iron along with the spare... switched tires let the cage down...... spares flat too
one time one of my crazy friends decided to try the spray flamable liquid in an unseated tire and light it to seat a bead trick... I guess he didn't know you are suppose to light it from a short distance.... ended up setting his hair ablaze!
one day Im riding my F (when it was stock last year) when some newer bike screams by probably doing 90 or so... later I catch up to him at a light when the light turned green he gassed it and dumped the clutch.... the bike pointed straight up shook right to left then leaned over catching both wheel on the ground the bike took off like a dart down a 3 foot drainage ditch flinging the guy over the ditch into some nice, fresh, soggy construction mud. He wasn't hurt other then his pride I helped retrieve the bike but it had to be towed away |

I was going to take pictures of AJ's poor little bike yesterday, but I thought the mental pictures that were burned into my mind yesterday would be enough for the rest of my life.
To cap off AJ's push yesterday, I made him push his bike around the block instead of coming in the front door.
I did not know he had pushed his bike all that way. It is a good thing I did tell him to go around to because he would have been cleaning all the oil his bike was driping up off the floor from the front of the shop to the back and that would have just turned him a little too disgruntled for me now that I think about it.
AJ is a real trooper and I am real proud of him.
Do not worry young man, your bike is in good hands and I will bring her back to life and make her better, stronger and faster, just like Col. Steve Austin {The Bionic man} only it won't cost you six million dollars. |

I swerved at a plastic bag going 110 and it put my bike (Kaw ZRX1100) into a serious wobble ...... I should have just run over it, but didn't know if anything was in it or not. |
