Yesterday I dropped NaNCy for the first time while trying to park her. It was over something real embarrassing too. I was standing off to the left of her and setting the center stand. My first try the rear tire was again the curb and was worried that center stand was not fully engaged. I bummed her off the stand and repositioned. Then I lost my balance on the uneven street and NaNCy was headed downward. I bravely held on to her and easily eased her to the ground. She got a few scraps on the truck, muffler, and the right Barkbuster bar. My heart broke at that moment...
I quickly went over to the right of her and picked her up with ease. Most of the scratches others wiped off easily or were hardly visible. The right bar received most of the scuffing and scratchs, see below.
I also gave her some of the skin off my left shin in the process to ease her down.
My best friend of nearly 30 years has this superstition. If you do not drop your bike for any length of time, you are headed for a "BIG ACCIDENT" later on...
I guess that I'm "Good" for awhile now then...
I've heard the other side of that superstition in the following phrase. There are 2 type of riders out there. Those that have been "Down" and those that "Will"...
I cleaned up NaNCy when we got home, me too. I got a little "000" and "0000" steel wool to smooth out the gouges and scratches on the bar, not my leg or heart...
