er....uh....speaking of 'going down'. Way back in February...when i first bought SHerry's bike for her...the SECOND day she rode it, she accidentally dumped her bike in a parking lot. Actually, she drove off the edge and dropped it just off of the parking lot. It wasn't going very fast...about a few miles per hour.
But when she dropped it...in the dirt off the edge of the lot....unlike Ken's experience, her engine did NOT quit running (she was straddling it after it touched down...she had to hit the kill switch ...the rear tire was just a turning!)....and....it damaged just about everyting on the left side you could damage. $3105 worth of damage. Header covers, rear exhaust cover, kick stand, gear shifter, case saver, radiator cowling, foot peg, etc.
haven't told that story here before.....now i have. Might get smacked when i get home if she reads this, though :roll:
