The only two times I went to any bike night I had a problem with my Honda wanting to fall over.
First time I wanted to move it out a bit, parked between Moira's 998 and Kathy's Daytona. I didn't have much experience moving that bike standing next to it. I was on the left between mine and Moira's bike when it acted like it wanted to go over and I could feel myself putting pressure on the 998 I got it back up, and then nearly had an anxiety attack about it. I still cringe when I think about almost tipping over mine and Moira's bike. Second time at bike night, I pulled in and Moira greets me, so I look up at her and don't notice the patch of grass my front wheel just entered, and down I went. I hurt my knee, but the bike was fine, thank god. I don't go to bike night anymore. |

Sweet, the power mullet AND the tight rolled pants. Tell me those are Oakley's and we've covered the trifecta of late 80's/early 90's bad fads. Hopefully you were more comfortable when you got out of the jeans and into some rad Zubaz pants, probably in Green Bay packers colors knowing Tracy.

I was waiting for the "you're an asshole" comment, and it came right on cue.

VTX rally in Denver CO, July of '06. 3rd day there me and a few guys make a run down to Colorado Springs to hit the Garden of the Gods and Pikes Peak. We get slowed down more than we planned at both and didn't make the summit of Pikes either cause it started storming on the mt and that dist was slick as owl shit. Anyway, we make a spped run back to Denver and the hotel for "bike games" that afternoon. I'm totally sucking at the all the slow speed manuvers after an adrenaline filled morning and during the one course there was a "slow as possible" section followed by an acceleration box then an "emergency stop" box. By the time I hit the acceleration box I was was out of the running so I hit the gas, pick the front wheel up a couple inches then do my emergncy stop. Cold tires by then, I locked and washed the front before I knew it and had 750lbs of VTX laying on my right leg
There were at least 200 people from the VTX forum watching me but I had plenty of help picking it up off me. I got a little rash on my right forearm since I was squiding it on the parking lot. Didn't break anything on the bike though and I just had to straighten the rear brake lever and do 400 miles through Rocky Mountain Nation Park the next day. It was an awesome trip! |
