BOOTH
Scooter
Might as well take the time to document this now:
The bike has taken a nap three times now.
First, a friend tried to get on it and tipped it over on the right side.
Luckily I had just put a new set of MC Cruisers Canyon Cages and Saddlebag Guards on it! Based on my understanding of the rules - this doesn't count. :truce:
A month or two later I go to do a u-turn on an off camber, uphill driveway and realize I don't have enough space to make the turn. It's either stop or go into the ditch. I stopped and the bike went down on the left side. :-[ This one probably counts as I did get it stopped before it went over.
The third time's the charm I suppose. I pull up in front of Google headquarters in the middle of a monsoon. Park the bike, go to put it up on the center stand and almost there, my foot slips off. The bike comes back down, does a slow bounce and then promptly starts leaning right. I let her down as easy as I could without pulling a muscle. Left the kickstand down, walked around the bike and did a deep-squat pickup with my back toward the bike and generally tried to ignore everyone watching from the windows.
Tip: buy the canyon cages - I'd be out the cost of the bike with these three drops if I hadn't had them on the bike. And don't be casual about racking the bike on the center stand in the rain.
