As posted in another thread my FJR wasn't starting. I needed to get the ignition switch recall completed so I had to tow it to the dealer. (The dealer discovered the negative ground from the PCIII was keeping the bike from starting. So if your bike doesn't start and can't figure out why then check the PCIII ground.)
Anyway I managed to push my bike from a gravel driveway, with a slight incline, up into a UHaul motorcycle trailer all by myself! This did take several attempts but nevertheless a successful outcome without dropping the bike or suffering a hernia. My neighbor saw this and said she was impressed. I said don't be... I had help from above.
A week later when I was pulling my 4runner into the carport, I took my eyes off my bike at the back of the carport and looked to the side... next thing I know I hit my bike! I did a homer simpson! Duh! Thankfully the damage was minimal. The bumper tapped the turn signal which resulted in cracking the plastic inner-wheel fairing and a slight crack in the paint. The crack in the inner-wheel plastic and around the turn signal were stablized with thick pieces of tupperware that were cut and placed on the cracks with gorilla glue.
So, what do you guys think about adding a signature icon when we perform acts of strength upon our bikes? And adding a signature icon for sheer stupidity, like a pic of homer simpson?
Also I'm curious if anyone has any ideas of what can be put on a 1-2 inch crack in the paint to keep it from chipping/peeling off?
