Wind Damage:

I want to post this because it might help someone. Most of us probably know of the winter storm that went by in the last couple of days. Well the weather was nice and I was going to take my triple to the garage where I'm going to store it, but I, had a doctors appt. so I went to the doc. When I came home I found my triple lying on it's side. I had a weather proof cover over it and I guess it acted like a sail. (It filled up with air and looked like a balloon) The wind was blowing about 50 mph and it lifted the triple and threw it on it's RHS. damaging my new bar end mirror and bending my new handlebar and possibly the mounting bolts. Just wanted to mention it

This is probably the 4th time I've heard this happening. Twice without a cover adding to the problem.

My new Pazzo's are ok, but for some reason my turn signal switch, which is on the LHS isn't working. The lever goes right, goes in, but wont go left.
