So I had my new PR2's installed today for the trip out to CFR (2 tires installed and TBS, $145! not bad). Naturally, they didn't air them up enough to my liking so I stop by the gas station.

I got off the bike and eyeball the location of the tire valves, gotta push the bike forward, because, its the law or something. I notice a single blue M&M's in the vicinity of the kickstand.

Standing beside bike I push it off the sidestand and roll it forward about 6". Back down on the sidestand and check to see if I'm close with the valve. Nope.. gotta go forward some more.

Once again, standing beside the bike, I push it forward another 6", this time, the devil puts the peanut M&M directly in front of the sidestand that is just skimming the pavement. Blue M&M's must have a hell'uva grip on pavement because it didn't budge. Instead, it retracted the sidestand just enough so that when I let the bike back down, the stand snapped UP.

Ever catch a 650lb bike in mid drop that already has a head of steam going for it?

I musta let out some sort of primal grunt, or maybe, it was a fart, I don't know, but buddy on the other side of the air pump jumped like somebody fired off a Glock at him. But thats ALL he did. He's standing their looking at me, I musta looked like Arnie in Total Recall where his eyes start popping out from the strain. Long story short, it didn't hit the ground, but I think I have a prolapsed colon.

... this is gonna really hurt in the morning.

 
I must be missing something here.

You got 2 new PR2's installed for $145? :blink:

The exchange rate must have gone crazy since I last looked.

FJR's are heavy biznitches! and Blue M&M's are the debil.

 
I always heard the green M&M's were the evil ones... imagine what coulda happened with one of those!! :blink:
I thought the green ones were aphrodisiacs? I know everytime I see a hot babe suckin' on a green M&M's, I get to feeling kinna funny.. you know.. down there.

Your a hockey player - and a goalie at that, you've always walked funny :D I'm just shocked you don't wear your goalie pads on the bike.

I'll be walking like Bobby Orr in about 4 weeks time.

145 to install? Did they at least give you a reach around?

[sigh]

This is Canada where reach arounds don't happen unless it's over a grand.

Old tires on the bike, $45 each + TBS. Up here thats called really fair. Throw in every other shop around told me 10 days before they could even get to it.

Course I could have it done cheaper buy Buford Le Shitkicker a couple miles down the road in Burnt Scrotum Ont. with a couple of screwdrivers and a big forehead for cheap, but that's not how I role.

Damn I am glad I live where I do. 45 bucks to change including disposal. That's at the local Yamaha dealer.
