I pulled a total squidly move! Yeah, I did.. and I can't hold it in any longer...
On Friday, I went to meet up with Raider, Rev, & Longbow~ I arrivered a little early and the house was packed~ Found an open curb away from parking spaces and parked the bike~ Locked 'er down and had a smoke while waiting for others to to show~ Raider's bro shows up on his RC and we're BSin' when a space comes open~ So we decide to get off the curb and grab it up~ I go to take off and the bike whips to the right, dies, and starts going down on the left side! Before I knew it... without even thinking, I'm off the bike and holdin 'er inches off the ground with all I got in me~ View attachment 466337
Raider's bro has already grabed the space and didn't see what happened~ Luckily my wife is still standing there warmin up her Kat, so I'm like "Ah Honey? View attachment 466338 Could you please step over here a minute?" We get 'er back up... and I'm very happy to say she never touched the ground! I then set 'er back on the ks and walk around the front and take off the disk lock~ Yeah, you read that right~ My dumbass forgot to remove the lock before pullin away from the curb! View attachment 466339
I checked over the caliper.. where the lock collided and took the bike down... and it and the disk check out fine~ Luckily I didn't goose it.. and in the end the only thing hurt was my pride~ Mind you, this all happened in front of a gazeebo(sp?) full of Friday night happy hour drinkin fools~ Nobody ever said a word, but I didn't look up anyway to see any reactions~ I felt nothin but total squidliness at that very moment...

I've been beatin myself up over it since, so I needed to get it off my chest... thanks for lettin me do so~ View attachment 466341
