I met an old boy on the road a year or so back. Was pushing 80 I'd say. Said he'd worked his way up from 50s to 70s and now he was confident enough to handle the 250 all year round. Said many had come to grief on 350s as they were too powerful on ice. Anyway the pillion end of his seat was cut down and sealed up with tape.Originally posted by Rob S. View Post
Said he tried to swing the leg over one day and it caught, toppling the bike and him caught under it. A young mother with two small children lifted the bike off him.
Down he went to the shop for a fix and they cut the seat down for him.
Then he confided all conspiratorial like, you know they don't charge me for servicing and stuff. They just say pay it off when you can and I drop them the occasional fiver. Don't tell anyone though, they mightn't want it known they were a soft touch.97 R1100R

They're probably afraid of being prosecuted.Originally posted by Brendan W View Post
If I'm not on my bike, it's on the stand. Sounds like the old man was doing it wrong. Lifting it off the stand, then retracting the stand, all while standing next to the bike? I wouldn't advise that.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Thank you to you both...I can’t tell you how much it means to me to get the support here.. and I know I can be a real a hole sometimes...Originally posted by cowboyup3371 View Post
the db that hit me as far as I know still does not know that there is video. The cops want him to bury himself. The last thing I heard was the cops asked him to come back to the station for a statement and he said “talk to my lawyer”... The Crown here will go after him... his wife has recanted her story... saying they “didn’t stop but neither did I” lol
I asked the cops if they told the guy that his wife changed her story and they told me they did not because they don’t know if there may be a domestic issue there... I look forward to my day in court...if it gets that far. But with the damaging video I have, it’s very likely to be settled out of court.No signatureComment

Trevor
That brand new bike of yours needs to be ridden, along with all the rest. But they'll be patient, they'll wait for you. They know you love them. Keep on keepin' on, my friend. I'm looking forward to visiting Vancouver Island someday, so you can show me around.Rich

If I lived closer, and was allowed to actually enter Canada, I’d be more than happy to keep the gas fresh in any and all of Trevors bikes.Rich
