Title: fairing scraping...8^)

before you all get your panties in a bunch about how this sort of thing indicates I am pushing it too much on the street....

lost the bolt that holds the fairing top leading edge to the red upper (where the zip tie is currently). the upper usually stays in place because it has a locking tab about midway to the bottom (or about where the extent of the scraped away portion is). no so this time. combine a bumpy road with good lean angle and the lower coming loose (apparently) and this is what you get.

So if someone is going commando, then what do you tell them?

Don't get your genitals in a bunch?

Damn that would hurt.

Can you tie 'em in a knot, can you tie 'em in a bow?

I guess technically, one could refer to them as panties....but I wasn't talking about myself...I was speaking hypothetically about those who either don't wear panties or who wear ATP (alternatives to panties).  :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I was using a figure of speach for the hypothetical, and it shouldnt be taken literally.
However, I WAS talking about you in particular, when I asked you...  :kiss3:

back on topic.
