I layed the bike down. Hit a patch of mud in the parking lot of work .It had rained all day at work. Nothing major; broken clutch lever, scratchs on mirror and handlebar end. Pushed the stock T/S in, no more stem. Looks cool...maybe I should do the other side now.
Worst of all hurt my pride.
One Big plus...I know I can I can dead lift 400LBS+. ( 5'2" female)

Looks like it is time to start checking out replacement parts.

Now you get to customize without the guilt of tearing apart a perfectly good bike..

Its not a setback, its an opportunity..

i dropped my gs500e at a stop on a steep upwards hill today and i couldn't pick it up :x someone stopped to help but then i couldn't even get it off the stand when i was sitting on it, lol. i ended up rolling the bike down the hill where it wasn't so steep.

i'm also 5'2 female(105lbs), how'd you do it?

I believe you can replace the stock turn signals with buell Blast signals. They're smaller, better looking, and only cost like $5 a piece. Do a search for more info.

Everyone has their own favorite way to pick up a bike. What I did is put the bike down gently on a patch of grass and practice picking it up. That way, you don't have to figure out the mechanics of it when you're full of adrenaline and maybe a little banged up from a fall.

I've picked up heavier bikes than the GS500, but I pick different bikes up differently. With the GS, my side to the bike and hands on the handlebars, lift with the legs, works fine.

And it's not technically dead-lifting 400lbs, since we're turning the bike into a lever with the fulcrum where the wheels touch the ground.

unfortunatly, i can't practice picking up my bike cuz the gas leaks out the gas cap

raylarrabee · July 10, 2005, 03:04:49 PM

practice when you have less gas in there

Genius is laughing at people who are different?

Laughing at racial slurs = bad, but laughing at fat people = good?

I'm fat, and I think it's funny. Like anything on the internet, if you don't like it, don't look at it.
