...and it did this mernin. :rant: :sensored: :Awe: :rant:
Got the 1500 out to ride to werk. Saw the windershield was a little dusty, so I walks back into the garage and got the cleaner and towel. Cleaned the shield, and turnt to walk back into the garage, and......BANG-CRASH.... :sensored: Damn bike tumped over to the right side, right onto the 'Burban. I turned around just in time to see several pieces of the windershield slidin down the driveway.
After staring at it for a few minutes, I realized I needed to get it uprighted, and back in the garage so i could go on to werk. Since it was layed over into the grill of the Burban, there wasn't much way to grab it to pull it back up. I wound up sliding on the seat to get me feets on the bumper of the truck, and was able to get it uprighted. Made it back into the garage, and took the car to werk.
So...I know the windershield is busted, but I dint see any other damage at the time(it was still dark), but the Burban has quite a bit of damage. The grill smashed in, trim around one of the headlights, and a pretty healthy dent in the hood.
To tell the troof, I'm surprised that shield hasn't shattered just from the wind while riding.....it's(was) pretty damn flimsy, and it flopped around a lot at 70-80mph. I dint really like it anyway....too tall, the vent was installed crooked, and it was pretty hard to see thru with the scratches and such.
So....I'm searching for a new screen to put on it. Think I'll go with a shorter one but still with the vent. Got a couple on fleabay I'm looking at. I'll have one ordered before I finish lunch, so it will get here asap. Damn shame the screen from the 1100 won't fit... :fiddle:
