If I was smarter, I'd keep this to my self...but it was funny...and I'm stupid. Very first ride on the GSA today...in the rain...on brand new TKC80s. Took the bike down to get an inspection sticker in preparation for the warm temperatures that the weather man promised for next week. Made it down the hill...no problem...rode across town...no problem...sticker...check...riding home...accellerating as I exited a corner...crossed a man hole cover...slippery...tail end kicked out...AND...nothing happened...regained traction and rode home like a pro. However...pulled into the driveway...rode up to the garage door...attempted to perform a very tight u-turn in front of the door so that I could back in...standing on pegs...turning...turning...steering lock...no more turning...too close to the door to make the turn...hit brakes...foot down...too late...going...going...gone!
I assume this is the only reason that the Can Am Spyder exists...

How ridiculous! 25 years of riding and I just dumped it in the driveway...at 2 mph. The crashbars are certainly effective, but what a big heavy pig this thing is. Fortunately, my tank was 100% full so it was like picking up a normal motorcycle with a 70 pound kid sitting on the bars. I hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come. Maybe I should have bought a Ruckus scooter instead. So lame.
