Default Another lesson learned today...

There was a thread here on MJ a couple weeks ago about remembering to put down your kickstand before getting off the bike. Well, I've got another.

Remember to put the bike in gear if you'll be parking on a hill. I forgot and my bike rolled down my driveway backwards with the steering locked to the left. It hit my Jeep and dumped over on the right side. I just installed 3" HK pipes yesterday. Yeah, I'm a bit pissed at myself. Pricing parts to repair and debating options with the pipes. I may get them recoated (I installed the black ResTech ones) or try to buy just a replacement for the damaged pipe.

So...one more time...if you'll be parking on a slope, make sure the bike is in gear so it doesn't roll down the hill.
