I always wanted the seat cowl. You polish the frame yourself? Mine was done when I bought it.

The only two times I went to any bike night I had a problem with my Honda wanting to fall over.

First time I wanted to move it out a bit, parked between Moira's 998 and Kathy's Daytona. I didn't have much experience moving that bike standing next to it. I was on the left between mine and Moira's bike when it acted like it wanted to go over and I could feel myself putting pressure on the 998

I got it back up, and then nearly had an anxiety attack about it. I still cringe when I think about almost tipping over mine and Moira's bike.

Second time at bike night, I pulled in and Moira greets me, so I look up at her and don't notice the patch of grass my front wheel just entered, and down I went.

I hurt my knee, but the bike was fine, thank god.

I don't go to bike night anymore.

Sweet, the power mullet AND the tight rolled pants. Tell me those are Oakley's and we've covered the trifecta of late 80's/early 90's bad fads. Hopefully you were more comfortable when you got out of the jeans and into some rad Zubaz pants, probably in Green Bay packers colors knowing Tracy.

ETA: And yes, those are Oakleys.

Let's not start on mullets now. I had a real winner with the ex husband.

Back on topic:

My first drop was probably my most embarrassing. I just got the bike. Had not had it but a few hours. Rolled up to a gas station with the ex. Kicked the kickstand and thought it went down, but it popped back up. I went to dismount and the bike fell on top of me.

I'm laying on the ground still in my helmet, yelling at the top of my lungs "HEEEEELLLP!!!" so the ex could get her off of me. I was completely pinned.

Since then I have this whole ordeal I go through everytime I put the stand down. Kick it down. Make sure it's down. Rock the bike back at least 3 times. Step ON the kickstand while I dismount and my hands are still on the clip ons. I'm a little anal about making sure she's not gonna fall on me again.

I was on my 1993 F2 the night the Red Wings won a cup I was so happy I did a burn out in the Grass as we were leaving I started to let off the front brake and roll it out and some one walked out in front of me. I grabed the front brake and down I went on the wet grass. I was on the ground for about a second blinker was pushed through the bodywork.

On the way home I could hear my friends laughing on the freeway. We stoped for gas and one said somethng funny about the DIRTDOG on the F2. And from that day forth I was known as DIRTDOG its been well over 10 years and still they call me DIRTDOG.

One of my Friends thats a Suzuki rep now still giggles as he says it. I'm pretty sure he was the funny guy at the gas station.

I screwed up a victory wheelie on the cool down lap in front of a decent number of people. I just shrugged at them and they cheered.
