Title: Painted Sidewalks
Post by: '04gs500f on June 25, 2005, 03:43:42 PM
I will keep it short and sweet

Going home
Raining Hard
Rain sensative stuff in bag
Pull over to chili's
Try to drive up on sidewalk to get under the overhang
.... WAIT

It's painted!

(tiny bit of throttle)
(swoosh)
(scrape)

"$&#@it!!"

Damage Report

Left mirror gone...
left blinker broken for third time after being repaired twice (thankgod for crazy glue)
scratched fairings  :dunno:

and to top it off i was uninjured and my head stayed away from the ground so my helmet was not touched

everyone with window seats at chili's had dinner and a movie  :nana:

such is life  :mrgreen:

obviously, but i didnt mess up because of my "riding style", i was simply trying to get out of the rain *shrug* i was being pretty careful, but that doesnt really matter when your riding on the equivalent of teflon

hey glad to hear you're ok... but i guess that's a sign that chili's sucks: the less you eat there, the better off you are!!
