Laid My Bike Down Today

[Clinton]

Could've been worse. My son and I went two-up on a camping trip in July. We arrived at the campground after 8 hours of riding and the office failed to tell me that our site was at the bottom of a steep gravel-strewn road. Halfway down the front tire washed out and we went over the right side. Broke the front signal off and scraped the fuck out of the fairing and hard saddlebag of my once beautiful blue Triumph Trophy.

Sorry about your Bike Wade! Glad you are ok. Maybe, you were thinking of Brett Favre too much.. hehe.

Will the bike cost too much too fix? It didn't damage the paint did it?

 

[Jetexas]

$0.00 to fix, nothing really other than a ding on the crash bars and bottom of tailpipe.

Thanks for calling, always good talking to you Broham!

Sorry to hear this Wade....good thing it is just a scratch....glad your OK Bro...

Have done this twice with mine,,,the crash bar is worth the investment as the only thing that gets dinged was my back tailight and the ball on the clutch handle. Mine weighs about 750 pounds as well but when the adrenaline kicks in it's amazing how quick you get that sucker back on its wheels. Glad that you didn't have more damage than you had.

I thought it'd be easier to get back up, but then again it was already laying on a downhill, it didn't come back up easy, but I got it done.
