This forum allows conversation on non-controversial topics, therefore no politics or religion. "The Campfire" is an area meant for casual, civil discussions. Deliberate anti-social activity including personal insults, profanity, pornography, racism, threats and purposely inflammatory posts may result in suspension of forum access or possibly a permanent ban from GSR.
The words insight and incite are pronounced the same. But one of them will get you banned and the other will not. Before hitting the Submit button be certain which of the two better describes your post.

My first inclination would be to go with --> THIS PHOTO <-- but since it was only motorcycle-caused and there is no motorcycle in the picture,
I'll go with this instead:
I have this pic handy
Oh, I didnt take the picture. I DID stand there.
Oh, doesnt have my motorcycle. Well, the motorcycle was involved, could say was implied.
Okay, Okay, ...... will see what else I can find.
Many of you recall my little mishap in Indiana in 2008. This is my bike post High side.

This stray ignitor trigger wire that melted on to the exhaust pipe was the reason the bike wouldn't start one morning in July 2018.
At that point I just wheeled the bike on to the ramp and started using the XJ again. It was time for a top-end rebuild anyway and this forced me to do something about the dreadful state of the base gasket leaks, the compressions lower than they should be, and just generally tired state of the engine.
After all that, the sod wouldn't start, and that's when I discovered the melted wire.
Startling pic. I recall hearing the story at the time. I recall seeing that pic a couple times since. But, now, this time, I notice that the sidestand is down. Any significance to that? (other than why I notice that now. har har)4 years ago...my what was excellent condition 1983 GS1100E. . . . . .
Never noticed the side stand being down..lol...the bike is laying on it's right side on the ground...went over an embankment.
"Broken" is the theme, it's not a tag, so use it as you will.
Either works, as does Roger's broken fence.
Lot's of options...
Thanks Bob.
For some reason I thought the theme was "Busted". I thought I'd try and get a pic of someone alaong Rte 66 getting some attention by a local LEO or something. Then maybe if it was "Broke" I'd just lay my wallet on the tank and zoom in on the cobwebs in it, LOL. Laying in bed trying to sleep I thought about these things. Finally, waking up and re-reading Rich's post I narrowed it down to two file pics I had. Plus, the few pics of broken parts I have weren't nearly as interesting as the broken bike pics thus far.
Anyway, fun stuff! Hoping to see more entries this week.
BTW, Rich, I'm so sorry for the setback you're having. Glad you weren't 500 miles from home or out in the boonies somewhere when that happened.

He used to be a really helpful guy, but he lent a hand to one too many people.
I would have said he used to be handy.
