@woodsmoke damn, man! That's some hard luck. Hopefully you get to enjoy the bike next spring when you're healed up. In the meantime, you probably want to plan for long-term secure storage that doesn't multiply your monthly payment fixed costs. Here in USA there are abundant competing self storage places with motorcycle sized units.
Seriously, though: I'd maneuvered the bike into the pictured position and went to rest it on the kickstand. Only I'm an idiot and the kickstand wasn't down, so down I went with the bike.
A brand new bike. One I haven't even ridden yet. It has 8 miles on it. And my dumb ass went and fell onto concrete underneath it, breaking the top of my left femur.
What's worse, one of the headlight mounts broke and there were some fluid spots underneath it. Sadly, I couldn't pick it back up because I couldn't stand, but the EMTs were very helpful on that count. The dealership is sending a trailer to pick it up tomorrow and see what the damage is.
And I'm once again naked underneath a hospital gown awaiting an operation tomorrow morning.
...also, I have a broken femur.
Again.
Yes, it's the same one.
Different spot this time, though. I think that means I get another spot on my punch card.
In order of importance:
I have a new motorcycle!
She is so goddamn pretty. I can't wait to take her for a proper spin.
I've nothing to forgive. Plenty I could criticize were I so inclined,a few I'd change if I could. But it ain't the Old Man's fault the world has passed him by and invalidated a lot of the wisdom he was taught as a kid.
...huh. Those were the two weren't working for me. Maybe the archive was just having problems yesterday.
Never mind, nothing to see here.
@woodsmoke the two from these two WAATGM posts seem to be working fine:
