Idiot of The Year Award
Well after 37 years of riding without mishap, today I acheived legendary status at our local shopping center. My moment of instant fame came about whilst parking my T100 Bonnie (4 weeks old). At the time I was somewhat deep in thought, considerig the purchases that I was about to make, and my eyes transfixed on the store entrance.
I casually laid my Bonnie over, sadly though during my deliberations I lacked the forsight to engage the side stand. Thus my Bonnie and I, every so gently greeted the bitumen. Fortunately my left leg was firmly pinned underneath my Bonnie, perhaps maybe even minimising some damge to the bike I thought. Fortunately several shoppers came to the rescue and seperated my Bonnie and I. I dusted myself off, thanked my rescuers, mounted my Bonnie and made a hasty retreat home. Upon inspection my Bonnie sustained two minor scratches to the left muffler and mirror. The clutch lever then fell off in my hand.
Well my little effort is going to cost about $160 for the clutch lever and housing (non genuine of course). As for the scratches, minor as they are, they will serve as a salient reminder as to my ineptitude. However I feell the need for bucket loads of humilation. So please feel free to idulge yourselves at my expense. Unless of course, you are also a candidate for the above award, in which case, "what idiot things have you done???"
