There's a thread here about superstition. I hope you're not tempting fate.Just curious who might have the most miles without laying their Vee/Wee down. I've gone 33,500 miles so far without kissing the ground. I wonder who's gone 50, 75 or 100k without doing it.
Dope usually works better than hope.I was hoping my wife would be going down before too many more miles pass under my tires!
TM better knock on wood!!!! :yesnod:There's a thread here about superstition. I hope you're not tempting fate.
Me:
1500 miles in the dirt (bent luggage hardware, broken windsheild)
15000 miles high side on the road (bent forks, wheel)
40000 miles low speed drop (daughter training in a parking lot)
49900 miles St. Augustine Beach in beach sand (only cosmetic damage, but at this point, really?)
51000 miles low side on ice (frostbite, wish I was back at the beach).
I'll never be able to sell this bike here.
OMG that happened to me too! Pinned against pump. Guy at pump next to me helped lift it. Really freaks people out. Latest one at a hotel checking in where the bike was little too upright and just fell over on me. Guy getting into car said there is someone inside that could help me and went on his way. Most of my tip overs are going under 5mph or less. One crash on gravel road going 30mph resulting in broken foot on my KLR650.Lol my bike has been on its side more times then a cheep....never mind. My best and most resent was at the gas station. Didn't get the side stand all the way down. Bike falls toward the pump with me underneath it. I was laughing so hard I had a hard time getting the bike off of me. Service station attendent was rather shaken up by the event.
+1 on tempting fate.There's a thread here about superstition. I hope you're not tempting fate.
I swim at that beach every just about every other weekend and end up pushing a truck out of the sand just about as often. Aside from the drop, how far did you ride on the sand? Im assuming it was in the dry portion which as far as I can tell, is the only place they let you drive / ride. I think the wet sand would work but I never see the cones go anywhere near there.There's a thread here about superstition. I hope you're not tempting fate.
