Good evening Clarice

Here it is

But I busted a mirror taking it out of the damp truck bed

Guess I should be happy since it fell on me and pinned me but no harm done. The #$% is a lot heavier than an Ascot

Where's the pic? Sorry to hear about the misfortune. You sound like me, willing to sacrifice yourself to save the bike! Glad everything is ok. Now post the damn pic!

*edit* Okay you posted the pics

got to come off for Grattan but it was my own stupid greed, 2AM and tired I should have put the truck in the garage and done it on dry today (or even asked the neighbor to help when I wasn't being flattened

)

Today I have to meet Niner and finish unpacking the truck. Also now that I have some sleep I need to check for stupid tax (damage) better. Last night I got it in the garage got the title out of the truck and slept. The leg is tenderized but no bruising showing (can still feel the knee a bit though)

You cannot have a mirror on the track, so no harm, no foul!

Congratulations, you've been looking hard and long for this! I have a hunch that silly grin overcomes the sore spot on your butt where you landed!

So, what's the story? How did you find it? What sort of mpg does it get with diesel fuel? How much wool did you have to give?

C'mon, bleat it out!

maxib · 03-26-2005, 8:15 AM

Nevermind...

Found on speedzilla, 7800 + damage

The backside didn't hurt at all, I yanked the front end of the bike up to get it off he tailgate and when I did my foot slid on the incline and dew resulting in it just kind of rolling onto me. Then I was sitting there with bike up to my waste and unable to curl the weight, plus it was kind of hung on my kneecap so I could not slide out, hollored until I awoke a neighbor

Grin factor is high but I am suffering from sleep deprivation and the leg while not hurt is tender. Unfortunately the breakage takes some edge off the grin

. Well I am off to the garage to finish unloading the truck and hopefully see no more ouches on my new toy.

Bleat 4 hours of sheep and the poor bike has more abuse than in 3 years

Well here is the pictures. Notice the chicken strips on the mounted tire the original is harder to tell in the photo but there is liitle or no edge use. Also I cracked the front cowl so it is time to order one (I can plastic weld and save the current one but need to start from pristine condition) Pooor Honda suffered a sheering.

According to ND4SPD they are.

Gorgeous bike sheep, you done good! And you can color me green with envy.

Edit: WHOOPWHOOPWHOOP! (siren, alarm thingy noise effect) We have a proximity alert. Too much stuff too close to that 1000RR!

Don't you know you need a 3' buffer zone around all sides?

That's exactly where mine cracked when it got away from me on the work table. I was on the left side moving it off of the rear stand (the work table is about 30" off the deck) and it started to fall to the right. No amount of holding onto the bars would stop it's chosen path into the wall of my shop. Actually the wall kept it from falling all the way off of the table

I had to get under it on the right side to stand it back up . . . The RC is just a few pounds heavier than the TZ, so I decided to be a bit more careful after that . . .

Congrats, sheep, beautiful bike. Bummer about the damage, but we've all had stupid things like that happen! Enjoy! Looking forward to seeing it at Grattan!!

You aren't kiddin'

Get that thing some space man!!

Awesome bike sheep...I'm officially jealous

Tornado bait · 03-26-2005, 10:18 AM

quid pro quo, doctor....now that Clarice has come through what are you going to do for her?
Nice bike wooly. Hope the other stable mates don't get jealous.
You V mongers are starting to get to me....what the hell is up with that!?

Normally it is on the stand but I need to do another rearranging now that the weather has improved. I really need a bigger garage but that is not in the cards yet. This winter I would put the RR on the stand and wheel it into the slot

or wheel it out and then take the Ascot off the center stand to ride it. Need to figure a better system soon

Love the RR to death but now I have 2 twins

The Ascot is not fast nor powerful but is a lot of fun and absolutely rocks on dirt roads

sheepofblue · 03-26-2005, 11:07 AM

Now that the caffiene is beginning to kick in: not in the pictures, I got a front and back Woodcraft stand, front and back tire with a decent amount of wear left, the factory pipe and front fender, the repair manual and even the box for the pipes

. Oh and he has it setup for a battery tender already (either he 100% fooled me or it was VERY well kept)

And a suprise to me, it has a choke. The RR spoils me as it just starts and runs but both twins have chokes.

Well off to Lynchburg, sorry no RC spotting NinerPilot as I have no insurance or plates yet and my leg/hip is a big tender.

Then garage reorganizing and a bit of manual skimming tonight (even need to reset the RR clock)

JAMI6989 · 03-26-2005, 11:23 AM

Your front fender is ugly. Sell it to me!
