The past year for me, has been a . . . . well. . . clusterfuck of sorts. The bike has been down since the end of last June. Prior to that she received many an injury and was down most of the first part of the year as well. Just a friendly warning, this post will contain motorcycle gore, sadness, and pornography. Those with weak stomachs, might want to turn back now. For the brave, neurotic, and deranged lot, press on through these subsequent posts.
This was the start of my year. These two metal shards pulled from a front tire, I was none too pleased as the tire was pretty damn new.
Well well thats all sorted. . . happy to be back on the road raising a little hell and doing some bird watching. . . then a nice little ride to work via the long way. Coming around a lazy left handed turn with a car behind to my right, a car behind me attempting to perform a colonoscopy, and a median to my left. . . the turn tightens up a bit and I'm happily bombing about at about 55mph when around the tighter section of the bend. . . well a giant chasm appears. With the person so far up my ass I didn't trust emergency braking would save me from my fate, rather send me to a different circle of hell.
WHAMMO!!! I hit the worlds largest chuckhole, immediately the bike starts drifting rather quickly into the righthand lane and i narrowly miss the car that was slightly behind. I couldn't keep her on the road up a driveway and down the sidewalk i went, back down a curb and out into an intersection, now behind my proctologist, and his assistant. Still at about 40 MPH. . .bike is now rather unresponsive to my suggestions of direction as I pull up to a stoplight. Afraid to look down at what I have endured. . . Then came the 5 mile ride to work with this debacle.
That tire was the previously damn new tire. Both were actually. No photo of the rear that was also bent (not as severely) but the tire sidewall was bubbled like tar on a hot day.
