Forum CEO HispanicSlammer Posted June 17, 2009 Forum CEO Share Posted June 17, 2009 DOH Parking my bike in the bike shed I went to put the bike on the centerstand and of course it backs up a good 3 inches when you do that and "Bam" I hit the rear tailight against the 2 x 4 frame of the shed and break the darned thing into 2 pieces! OH JEEZE oh well it was need of replacing anyway, 117k miles on it and so it had become rather dull in finish with all the road spray blasting it all that time. I still cant believe I did that! I got on Ebay and bought one of those clear ones with the LED's built right in, I saw one in Canada up close when GPpaul came in from Grand Prarie to the Koot Hoot, I like the looks of it and deiceded what the hell I will replace it with one those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my first bike lift, I rolled my pristine F4i up onto it at an angle with the kickstand down - the stand touched off and over it went, right into my brand spankin new VFR! Luckily, the VFR was completely unharmed, and only cracked the lower fairing on the CBR. :ohmy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I'm kind of looking for a picture as well. I was thinking about a rear tail light mod (for better vis in the back) and wondered what options were available. Damn Ebay!!! Looks like I am shopping there again.

Member Contributer Old School Posted June 17, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted June 17, 2009 OMG you scared me. I thought it was going to be some thing major. My first one (a long time ago) was I parked my bike at home right behind moms van :laugh: Mon worked nights and got in a backed up right into my baby. I was vary mad at mom but all said it was my fault. See you at the Summer Summit. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Polarbear Posted June 17, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted June 17, 2009 Oh yeah, the tv. I had forgotten about it but now I remember. Thanks Seb for reminding me. As for the last of HS's booboo, well, just see it as an opportunity to upgrade. There are so few upgrades available for the VFR, you must cease them when they come!! :blush: Pics of this upgrade? And while you're at it, why don't you post up a pic of the new tv? :laugh: ppm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually came clean with the folks from Geeks on that tv, I told them the "truth" and everything. At first they said "sorry but its not covered" then 2 weeks later they sent me a full refund for store credit via email and well....looky for your self.
