Kickstand down! Kickstand down!

Great story and dont worry, as they said I am sure he realized what you had tried to communicate to him after and will react differently next time.

It would be amusing to write an account of the tale from the other guys point of view

I hit a guard rail in Carmel on my Commando back in '79 or '80 because I left the side stand down after gassing up. Had been riding all night, bucause my buddy's new KZ550 had electrical problems (wiring harness plug undone).

A bike cannot be both a horse and a female dog.

At first I thought you were writing about me, but then noticed this took place in Kansas and I hadn't been in Kansas in many years.

Wierd some people you meet on the road, was gonna ride alongside some guy with a new Suzuki 650, he made it perfectly clear to stay far away from him, so I did, left him sitting still.

Very creative story but gallegheresk is not found in any english dictionary.

The story feels like fiction, I can't see very many making it onto the interstate with their kickstand down. If it shall be a malfunction and came down on it's own then that rider is inevitably screwed and reduced to making right hand turns and curves.

It may not be, but it should be. Great word and I shall officially adopt it.

Lots of folks ride their cruisers with little to no left lean, or any lean at all...can see it happening.

It's possible...People are dumber than you think!
My brother was behind a Harley last week, and his tire was Wobbling at an angle!
The rider was being jerked all over the place, as the suspension was completely failed.

After 15 minutes of laughter, they tried to signal the guy...but he was completely oblivious...

The Gallegheresk is in reference to the stand-up comedian Gallegher who used props in his act. One of the most famous is smashing watermelons with a sledge hammer.



I couldn't believe he made it one the highway either, but there he was.
