Man my pride is hurt more than the bike but it sucks damn U turns on loose gravel roads. It just slipped out from under me, everything seems ok thank goodness for the crash bars, but now Im in need for a new left one. Ohhh well  :oops:

Joe

I dropped mine again, too.  In the driveway last night, trying to get it up on the centerstand.  It probably didn't help that I had a 50-lb bag of sunflower seeds on my head at the time.  :oops:

Don't ask! :nono:

Damn gravity...

Start your own courier service Kerry?  

BTW, a 50lbs bag of sunflower seeds must be huge!  Better get a picture of it up here, balanced on your head.

Naw, I was planning to do this:

But I didn't want to set the bag down and pick it back up again.  (DUH!)  So instead I had to call my wife downstairs to help me pick up the bike.  And then I had to pick the bag up again after all....  :x  :oops:  :roll:

That should help you practice your wheelies!

I thought perhaps the "50-lb bag of seed on the head while putting a motorcycle up on its center stand" was the new "book on the head for balance and grace" that some learn in charm school (which I obviously never attended :P).  :mrgreen:

Joe, you need to visit the "Aaah! I dropped it!!! (http://www.gstwins.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20498)" thread that GSJames started.  Misery loves company and there's been several baring their souls in it.

I know Kerry's mistake all too well.  Balance of risk versus consequences.  Cutting corners.  My last drop was caused exactly for that reason.

Well...  I won't laugh at you guys for fear of karma...  Damn karma... I could be laughing right now!   :x

That is a great way to carry the bag of dog food I need to pick up tonight. Where abouts did you pick up that rack on the back?

50lbs of Sunflower seeds on the head, naaaaar, beats me. I must have led a very sheltered life!

Quote from: ttsquirrelThat is a great way to carry the bag of dog food I need to pick up tonight. Where abouts did you pick up that rack on the back?

Well, I guess I've thoroughly hijacked JMyrick's thread now.  (Sorry about that.)

About the racks, see my Riderhaus page.  I got my Five*Stars stuff straight from Germany back in 2002, but the current route is to special order through Twisted Throttle.

I dropped mine today when I forgot to put it in gear before I got off it... of course the wheel was locked to the left so it took a nice spill. I grabbed it halfway to the ground so I think I saved myself a busted mirror but I messed up the exhaust some bad...

that's a crazy-lookin engine guard thingy.  callin all stunters!  for some 500cc skillage!

ah yes, the inevitable centerstand. Just don't try to put it on that stand while you're straddling the bike. Trust Me.

Gravel is a bike's worst nightmare. I made the mistake of trying to pull over on a gravel shoulder once. I wouldn't recommend that. Making a u-turn in it would be quite a challenge, I think.

Thats ok Im a fan of funny $hit  :lol:

Would you have to have awfully long legs??  :lol:

Hold on I put my bike on the center stand wile on it besides the chance of hurting your future kids is there any other problems with doing this :dunno:

Getting me pissed off at the damn tall people who can do things like that and ride all kinds of bikes I can't.

QuoteWith her 147 cm, Yun Yun's job opportunities are very limited. She would not be tall enough to qualify for many universities.

For example, law schools accept females only over 155 cm and males should be over 165 cm saying short advocates or judges will lack authority in court, the report said.

Foreign language departments and most international oriented studies have height requirements as well.

That's the most f%&ked up thing I've ever heard.

+1.

:dunno:  Did you miss the one with the couple that bit each other's fingers off?  Now THAT was f%&ked up...

This is just cultural difference with another reason to pay thousands of dollars to make yourself different.

"Short people got no reason..."

Quote from: RVertigoThis is just cultural difference with another reason to pay thousands of dollars to make yourself different.

I want to be different, just like everyone else.

"You're all individuals!"
"We're all individuals!"
"I'm not."
"Ssssh!"

I won't pay money for surgery to be taller, prettier, or have bigger fun bags.  And the shallow asshats who care can go fornicate themselves.   :mrgreen:

They got little baby legs
That stand so low
You got to pick 'em up
Just to say hello
They got little cars
That go beep, beep, beep
They got little voices
Goin' peep, peep, peep[/list:u] I love short people...  I married one. :dunno:

She gets mad about being short sometimes...  I prefer her that way. :thumb:

I married a short one, too: 4'10".  So no Chinese law school for her, I guess.  Also, I'm rediculously tall, 6'5".  Everyone seems to think they're clever by pointing out how short she is and how tall I am.

Ja, I dated a 6'2" guy for a while.  The logistics were a little interesting.

Yikes...  Not that much of a diff with us...  I'm 6' and she's nearly 5'2".  I have friends that are about the same...  She's 5'11" and he's 6'8"...  They have GIANT kids too...  Freaky.

We've never had a problem with the... er... logistics.

Just a question not trying to piss you off but have you ever really cared about what anyone else thinks, I mean everyone is diffrent and like its been said before F them if they dont like you the way you are. One more question about the quote above do short people get pissy faster then tall people. :dunno:

Joe

Whoa..I never thought about that before...maybe I get pissy so fast cuz I'm short, and NOT due to reactive hypoglycemia!  :guns:  :lol:

I need to make a signal when I'm being a smartass... maybe sending up a flare...  Dang, I even put a smiley on that one.

Quote from: RoadstergalI need to make a signal when I'm being a smartass... maybe sending up a flare...  Dang, I even put a smiley on that one.

I guess no man could possibly believe that we chicks are ok just the way we are (especially if you mention a bigger bosem)?  :dunno:

:lol:  :lol:

Hmmm...hand patting head means cop, and hand petting butt means smart@$$?? Ok, *someone* out there is gonna annihilate my perfectly innocent idea. :P

I think all women are perfect just the way they are. And by "the way they are", I mean with huge racks, model-worthy faces and 1% body fat.

Here come the thrown objects...I'd better duck  :o

Yanno, with RG in WA and moi in CA, you're right in the middle. We could meet in the middle, and we could take ya'! :P

The only reason we're going to let you live is cuz we know you're being a smart@$$ (I saw you pat your butt; don't deny it!) ;)

Yup!

My ex has the same, but 36 around. She's by no means fat, nor tall. She's short and it amazes me that those legs can hold up so much boobage.

Oh, I still get benefits, you know?  ;)

What was this topic all about again?

... Seems to me there was another thread about a similar topic, and it degraded in much the same way. ...
