[QUOTE="sullivan, post: 1381584, member: 14572"] Another beautiful day of autumn commuting in the country, approx. 55 minutes each way. The floppy right mirror is....useless. Not pushing any maneuvering at speeds, although somehow 90 appeared on the instrument panel today. Not unlike many of our bikes at the get-togethers, I'm not afraid of the bike having some minor battle scars. In this case, it seems like most of the weak link areas of the multi piece plastic have broken. Plus the damn aluminum. Get the triple straightened and we're good to go for high speed next year. Yes, brain was over analyzing on the ride today about the factors involved, but I pushed it out of my mind as these things happen. At the age of 19, my 450 starter bike washed out in the spring on winter sand at a very slow right turn. Yup, learned a lot that day. So my calm demeanor the other morning was probably surprising to the nice lady who stop to check on me and offer assistance. Sure wish I could go on the Sunday foliage ride. p.s. if for some crazy estimate, the bike was totalled or the bike shop accidentally smashes it with a forklift, next year's matte blue color is NOT for me. Just saying. [/QUOTE]
