I know what you mean Ai when I pulled my car out of storage there was a huge chip in the paint this year I wanted to kill someone,but hey you have to just try and remember that accidents happen and you can get it fixed.

 

[alleycat]

Thanks Pony.
This am I woke up all excited to spend the day with my friend Jenny. I called her at 8 am. She called me back around 930 to tell me she couldnt hang out. We had plans all week for this. Oh well, right?
around 9 dad comes and gets the bike.
10 am the phone rings and its my dad saying the bike fell over. he's all choked up because he knows how much I love that thing....
1015 I get a call from my good friend Dave. We rescued a stray cat this week. I stopped over last night with tons of stuff for it. His family decided to keep it. We were all really excited. It ran away last night and we were up until it came back home at 11. He took it to the vet this am to get it fixed and get its shots. Turns out it had feline leukemia and Dave had to put it down. His 3 year old son is a wreck. It was his first pet and he only got to have it for a few days. Someone must have found out it had it and put it out on the street.
Got another call from my dad asking when I was coming over to look at the damage and work on it... I sucked it up and went over there, and brought him lunch. little scratch on the bike... no big deal. Then we look a bit closer. Exhaust is gouged, turn signal broken. Then we start backing it out of the trailer and the brake rotors are bent, and the brake fluid that I just flushed out and refilled got air in the lines. So the rear brake is locked up and the front is non--existant. I parked it in the garage and pulled the tank off it and it gouged bad on a metal bracket again......
i just walked away. I have had enough for one person in a day...

 

[AUDRAA]

damn sounds like it fell off the side of the trailor not just tipped over, it must have it pretty hard when it tipped to cause all that damage
the cat part: tell him he can pick out his own kitten now they are a dime a dozen that should be an easy enough fix, hes young he will get over it quickly with a new kitten

 

[alleycat]

Not really, it is about a 30 mile drive and it was in an enclosed trailer. the rotors bent because of the wheel chock.

 

[Peter Parka]

I'm really sorry to hear that Ali, I didn't realise you were having a sucky day when you wanted to chat yesterday. I hope today is better for you. *Big hug!*

 

[Suzie]

I'm sorry you had such a bad day yesterday Ali. I hope todays day makes up for the sucky one you had yesterday. What kind of bike do you have? Everyone in my family has a Harley (cept my brother, Kawasaki)...and except for me I dont have any. Hopefully one day I will.

 

[alleycat]

it's all good peter. no prob. thanks
suzie, mine is a honda vtr1000. here is a pic of one like it. i dont have any pics on my laptop.

 

[Suzie]

I cant see the pic Ali... but I'll google it right now............

Really nice! How fast did you go on it before... I have never driven one before...but I went 120 on the back of one.:eek My parents have a Harley... just 2 years ago they got into a horrible accident on one... and my mom lost her leg... shes amputated above the knee. I never thought she would get back on one...she just did recently. But its a trike, so she feels a little safter I think. Riding is their life... and it stopped for 2 years. I'm glad that she got back on. It's scary, but its what they love and its what makes them happy. Heres a pic of my brother riding the new trike with my son on the back :eek

 

[alleycat]

LOL nice trike. that thing is huge!! sorry about your mom. I was in a nasty accident myself and nearly lost a leg too. was it her left one?

 

[Suzie]

Yeah it was her left leg...but she has only driven a car a few times. My mom was on the back of the motorcycle and my dad was driving. It was a freak accident, but a horse got loose in a farm and ran out right in the middle of the other car in the lane. The car swirved and instead of hitting the horse, she hit my parents..and my mom got the worst of it. But shes alive... dont know what Id do without her!
Your bike is beautiful!!!!!!!

 

[alleycat]

wow that is a freak accident!
