Post by: ets_gs500f2004 on July 18, 2006, 09:52:56 AM
parked the bike yesterday made sher it was solid and seemed solid... tryed to push it a lil and it didnt tip at all so im like its solid enough.... it was on some unsteady pavement.... so i went to take off my helmet... guess what wile my helmet is halfway off..... bike starts typing over so im like f@#$ tried to catch the handle.... missed it by a quarter inch... kinda hard when the helmet is in the way so it felt over half side walk half road ......        broken right miror scrached fairing scrached tail..... handles were all croocked fixed that

  i was so pissed off, and so sad for my baby got hert like that..... what pisses me of the most is that i didnt have no other place to park it and i even made sher that it wouldnt tip over

damn.. that sucks.  It sounds like you did everything right but just had a bit of bad luck.  I always try to park so that my front-end is a little higher up than my rear (to prevent rolling forward off the stand).
