S*** happens
« on: June 29, 2006, 07:44:03 PM »
Bought a new helmet.  ;D So I decide to go for a ride tonight. I get the bike out start it up and
find out #2 cylinder is cold.  >:(  I stop the bike decide to check for spark and gas. Pull plug,
sparks ok. Go to pull the carb bowl and notice that the rubber going into the air box on #1
has ruptured.  :'( Take off air box, check #2 bowl. Ok got gas. fire it up, run ok now. But no air
cleaner now. So decide to put bike back into garage. Don’t want to fire it up, try to back up
bike into garage. (drive is on a slight incline) Cant get over garage floor lip. Turn bike
around to try it forward, get a little run hit lip of garage, it twists front wheel, bike falls
over with me on it.  :-[ It doesn’t hit the ground though because my truck catches it by the sissy
bar.  :'( Then I notice it’s the bumper that caught the sissy bar.  :) Then I notice that is where I had put my nice new helmet.  :o So what’s between my bike and my truck is my nice new helmet
now with scratches across the new visor.  :'(  :'(
Now I need a new visor and a new aircleaner setup for my bike.  :'(  :'(

If it was meant to happen it happens.

You sometimes cannot stop those things, it's like watching a tree falling, you know it's happening, but don't believe it's going to hit your house - don't ask me how I know this.

I think it's Karma mate, you were probably a real prick in your previous life! ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

You shouldn't say that. I happen to think they are very useful.

"They" John? How many have you got? I once knew a guy who was born with 5 penises, apparently his underpants fit him like a glove? ;D

Actually I was thinking that the SOHC Gods were telling me that if I went out on the bike, My head would end up on someones bumper.

Thanks for the offer ElCheapo, I'm looking for something besides Pods, or V-stacks, or OEM box.
I wish I could just get a replacement tube for my air box.

GraveRobber,

You referring to the torn one in the picture? What model? I have one from a earlier 750 in good shape if you can use it.
