[11:18] caphrim: hey mason you there
[11:19] SirDavisCarrots: yes
[11:19] caphrim: your the only one who can appreciate this story
[11:19] SirDavisCarrots: haha, alright
[11:19] caphrim: i had the worst weekend ever
[11:21] caphrim: my sister rented a harley nite rod this weekend
[11:21] caphrim: for my birthday
[11:21] caphrim: and we were going to go riding
[11:21] caphrim: so we do and everything is fine and dandy
[11:21] SirDavisCarrots: that sounds like that would be fun
[11:21] caphrim: yeah, it was totally fun
[11:21] caphrim: and then yesterday we’re in elmhurst at my dad’s
[11:21] caphrim: and the dealer is in elmhurst
[11:21] caphrim: so we’re like, well, we have to return it on monday, but since we’re already here, lets just return it
[11:22] caphrim: and it’s getting rainy outside anyway, so she’s like “how about you drive it back and I’ll follow you in the car”
[11:22] caphrim: so I’m like, cool, fine with me
[11:22] SirDavisCarrots: ah, man
[11:22] caphrim: so she pulls past me, I turn the bike on
[11:23] caphrim: and turn the bike around (left turn, i’m in the street)
[11:23] caphrim: and as I go to right the bike back up
[11:23] caphrim: the handlebars dont turn back to the right
[11:23] SirDavisCarrots: damn
[11:23] caphrim: and I have just enough time to think to myself “what the fuck? the fork is locked”
[11:23] caphrim: and then I go flying off the bike and roll across the pavement to a stop
[11:23] SirDavisCarrots: was it slow?
[11:24] caphrim: I wasn’t going very fast, but it threw me off the bike
[11:24] SirDavisCarrots: you have photos of any of it? what are your costs now?
[11:24] caphrim: photos no. there was damage to the handlebar grip (it was just some shitty plastic, so it got shredded a little)
[11:24] caphrim: and then get this
[11:25] caphrim: the rear brake pedal and the right side ped
[11:25] caphrim: peg*
[11:25] caphrim: got bent up to the frame
[11:25] caphrim: cracked the weld on that
[11:25] caphrim: so her and I were like “awww fuck us”
[11:25] caphrim: so i bent the peg and brake back and rode it to the dealer but yeah
[11:26] SirDavisCarrots: haha damn that would suck man
[11:26] caphrim: yeah no kidding
[11:26] SirDavisCarrots: was that the 1st time you downed a bike?
[11:26] caphrim: no, 3rd
[11:26] SirDavisCarrots: how were your others?
[11:26] SirDavisCarrots: how did those bikes hold up?
[11:26] caphrim: just fine
[11:26] Meebo Message: Could not IM buddy
[11:26] SirDavisCarrots: i only downed my bike once and that was while parking it xD
[11:26] caphrim: first time was my cousins and I dropped it while i was just sitting on it
[11:27] caphrim: yeah, i did that to my gsxr, that was the second time
[11:27] SirDavisCarrots: but no damage
[11:27] caphrim: same here
[11:27] caphrim: so the good part was that we bought the insurance for the harley
[11:27] SirDavisCarrots: ah
[11:27] caphrim: so we should only be liable for up to 2000 in damage
[11:27] SirDavisCarrots: so was it the bikes fault?
[11:27] caphrim: it was my sister’s fault; she locked the fucking fork
[11:27] caphrim: who locks their fork
[11:27] SirDavisCarrots: ohhhhhhhh
[11:28] caphrim: noone I’ve ever ridden with
[11:28] SirDavisCarrots: the fork lock was on
[11:28] caphrim: nobody locks their fork
[11:28] SirDavisCarrots: hahha damn
[11:28] SirDavisCarrots: i thought your meant you were takin ga slow turn and the fork got locked up
[11:28] SirDavisCarrots: yeah i only used that lock one time and about downed my bike and never used it again
[11:29] caphrim: yeah i used it to see what it did and then i never touched it again
[11:29] caphrim: it’s like using the parking break on an automatic car
[11:29] caphrim: it’s pointless
[11:29] SirDavisCarrots: cause i would back my bike when i park and my bars lock in the way i had to turn out and forgot i had the lock on
[11:29] caphrim: exactly
[11:29] caphrim: you forget
[11:29] caphrim: like me
[11:29] caphrim: and this is the result
[11:30] caphrim: I’m still livid about it. I cant believe she locked the fork
[11:30] SirDavisCarrots: lol and the harley quality resulted in bent shit?
[11:30] caphrim: lol
[11:30] caphrim: yeah doesnt that tell ya something
[11:30] caphrim: it’s a shame too, cause it’s a really fun bike to ride
[11:30] caphrim: and it looks so awesome from the back
[11:31] SirDavisCarrots: yeah a long bike with wide tires is probly a lot of fun
[11:31] caphrim: yeah the tire in back is huge
[[11:32] caphrim: it’s like twice as wide as my honda
[11:33] SirDavisCarrots: geeze
[11:33] caphrim: so yeah, that’s what i did this weekend; trashed a $16,000 motorcycle
[11:33] caphrim: beat that
[11:33] caphrim:
[11:34] SirDavisCarrots: haha, not that many people get to spend that much on their birthday
[11:35] caphrim: yeah, i’ll remember this one for a while
