i am laughing now!!

[Guest]

Although not a crash, I had the embarising opertunity to test out my recently installed crash bars on my GS. I thought i would sneak away for a burger for lunch and after finishing my heart attack in a sack (sure was good) I was basking in my caloric overload and simply turned to sharp and tipped over. This was one of those most embaressing moments times. I have alot of miles under my belt and doing something like this was...well a severe brain fart. Thinking back over my follie, having just gotten off shift and being awake for 28 hrs didn't help and the ingestion of a bizillion calories contributed to my lack of attention. I ride year round and and often without much sleep getting off shift but this was an eye opener for me. So gathering my composure and collecting my left front blinker which had launched all the way accross the parking lot, remounted for the ride home. All is well and arrive safetly home. On the ride in this am I jump on it to get to freeway speed and my clutch slips. Oh Sh@t a new clutch!! no way, thats major $$$.




I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.

I fell over in my driveway trying to get the bike on the center stand not too long ago. It is super embarrassing, isn't it? It's funny how I'll find the strength to get the bike picked up quickly.

You won't know for sure until you check it out, but my guess getting some Barnett clutch springs will fix you up. My advice is only replace three of the six. Those Barnett springs are stiff and if you use them all, well an image of Popeye's left forearm comes to mind.

It could be worse,I'm off work for 2 months with a ruptured AC tendon.Similar incident but I was happy someone seen it and helped get the bike up.

I dropped my bike in a parking lot once. I momentarily forgot that you can't have the bike leaned over when you come to a stop.

Something strange going on. I clicked on his links from this thread and the sand thread. Both go to a BMW forum and are copies of posts there but from different posters.........

I wonder if our responses end up on a BMW site to make it look like were nuts too.

I thought that "embarising opertunity" was a unique misspelling, so did a google search on that .....
found this posting in a BMW R1200GS forum:

Make it to work and take a quick look and find that the left hand gaurd had bent in a little not letting the clutch lever fully disengage. Fixed and now all is better. My slush fund is safe for now....
