Well .. Been there and done that (that's true for most of us).
I bought my 88 Hurricane new when I was in Mojave, Ca. I was working as -- Maint. Test Pilot on EH-60 Blackhawks for a Army contract. I bought the Hurricane to run on those long and straight roads in the high desert and it was a blast at 150 or so.
I had the bike (just) for two weeks and laid it over when I was talking to one of my friends wife. She was in her car and had a low voice and I was staining to hear her. I kept trying to hear and continued to lean the bike towards her and lost it. It was too much to handle and I had to let it go.. just too heavy. Boy was I pissed at myself and it messed the tank up a little. Yes.. it happened because she talked in a low voice and I've flown helo's for 15 years and my hearing was fried too.
So, don't feel like the Lone Ranger and move on and remember your mistakes.. I never laid a 2nd bike down.
Take Care,
Avery
