I had various bikes too, but the night i drove in the rainstorm, one a road better placed in michigan yet it was next to 'the grapevine' around Turlock somewhere, the downpour abruptly stopped, i thought "oh good, a town, i'll, ...- everythging is closed, son-of-a", then the wire that ran my headlight went out. so since it had happened before i simply reached down under the tank to fiddle with it one handed my right on the throttle, around a simple corksrcew turn in the dark i found out where the railroad tracks were after the - or probably why the street was all ripped to shit. anyway the bounce flipped the handlebars extremes in right to left and i instinctively or by panic sped up slightly. Old Hondas are light in the front even the modified 550-4 bored to 580 i had. right after the headlight came back on by itself it was no longer pitchdark and i did finally pull over only at that moment realizing i was going about 80 through the turn. i was on the side of the road the honda purring along laughing its ass off at its little joke. i was able to pee finally after standing there in the light fog of three oclock in the morning on a nowhere place just cheating death. Ahh my charmed life, you know i'm gonna buy another bike someday!
i jumped the same Honda once too not by choice, (once again). i drove off down the road and passed by this hot chick waiting for the bus. i revved up a wheelstand in front of her then chanced to look down and noticed i left my kickstand down again. i had to drop down because i don't know how to bank a turn on a wheelie. the turn came up the kick planted and i took out a 6" diameter sapling with my right shoulder. about chest level. i rolled up, shoulder hurt a little but i was going only 60 or so and i hit the trapizius and missed all the bones. i looked around realizing where i was, directly in front of the Dublin police dept.'s big picture window, ( in a mall setting). i got the bike up hoping it would start since after laying it down it usually would take four-five hours to start again. a guy in a big pickup with duelies screeched to a stop asking if i was alright, i kicked it over and it started, i said "i have to get out of here, thats the cop shop!" and took off.
the police blotter was asking the next week if anyone saw whoever it was that cut the treedown in front of the Dublin main station the next day! Bikes are fun, i did remember to flip up my kickstand after this time. :)
