Ended Wow! Koopor & Smok Giveaway - 200 Koopor Plus and 200 TFV4 Mini's to be won

[dcfluegel]

Yay! Caught up, and SORE!

60F on Thanksgiving don't happen often in Michigan. Thought I'd go for a lil ride on my scoot again today. ONE spot on the dirt roads outta here, is perilous. An icy shaded hill that just don't melt. ONE path of dirt from the runoff, on the oncoming side, and I was carefully goin down it. Made it just fine YESTERDAY. Car comin the other way, haulin azz. Musta been late for Turkey dinner.

MY fault. I shoulda just stopped dead on that lone path of gravel.. but comin at me so fast, I was afraid the car couldn't stop on the snow and ice. STUPIDLY, I decided to try to cross over the fat mound of ice/snow in the middle of the crowned dirt road, and... down I go. 900 lbs. of motorcycle on top of me. I THOUGHT about bein cheesed at the driver. Fancy lady, Land Rover. At least she slowed down to roll down her window and ask if I was alright.. not stop, slowed down.

NO way could I pick up that 900 lb beast on that icy road. Fortunately, a neighbor came along. Super nice guy. Jumped outta his truck and helped me wrestle my bike back up on the kickstand. Wet, cold, muddy. Bike looked like hell too. Broken hiway peg, big scratch in the saddle bag, ripped out the backrest on the seat, but otherwise, awright. So, thanksgiving. Not hurt, bike still rideable, got to wish my neighbor a happy Thanksgiving. Life ain't about those that knock ya down. Bout those that help ya up.

I guess it's time to put her away for the season. Got some ride in, came home, cleaned her up, straightened a couple things, and put her to bed for the winter. That highway peg saved a LOT of damage.

What a mess..

All better now!

Sweet dreams, Ladies. See ya in the spring... sniff....

glad you're okay, brother on the realsies

even if you leave a brother hanging... still glad you're okay

So - Given everyone is recouping fro a huge dinner, might be a GOOD time to take it . . .

Just A Suggestion . . .

Thank you for posting this for those who were unaware

Hmmm...didn't know the tank was plastic....I'm gonna have to check into that. Have a good night and *hugs* back!

I don't know where I got the idea the tank is plastic, my son thinks it might be stainless. Checked the Kangertech site and on their media release page the majority of the comments seem to say it leaks badly.
