Sidecar Flip
Living Legend
We all know I dropped the Rock in the parking lot of the cabin at ES. I thought that was my last time for a while. Not to be.
I was cleaning the bikes today. I figure I might as well polish the Rocket even though I can't ride it, 'cause it's sick but it ain't the Rocket's fault, it's the fault of some production line idiot that installed a bearing backward.....
Anyway, I got the Rock all spiffed up, parked and covered her up and got the Bonnie all polished up and did the same. Got to the KLR, washed it, waxed it and put it up on the bike lift to clean the chain...yeah, you have to clean a chain unlike a driveshaft. I get the chain clean and oiled and I start the bike on the lift and distribute the oil on the chain......you have to put the sidestand up (just like the Rock..we all know that) to put it in gear..... Well, I forgot to put it back down and let the lift down and over she went. I tried to grab it and wound up on top. I'm glad it only weighs 400 pounds because I picked it right back up but it got the left mirror, turn signal and the left lower fairing. Not a good day. Maybe the debate will heighten my spirits.
