    Stupid Things Come in Threes

    First stupid thing: I stalled the F6 at the bottom of my driveway.

    Second stupid thing: I dropped the F6 at the bottom of my driveway. I couldn't pick it back up using the proper technique because it fell on its left side and I couldn't shift it into gear. It kept rolling down the hill when I started to lift it. So, I got real mad, straddled the bike, grabbed the handle bar, squeezed the front brake and wrenched it up. The Lovely and Exotic Mrs. Decubitus thought I was going to spit up a lung. Got it upright and into the garage before any of the neighbors could see what happened. Fortunately it was late at night.

    Third stupid thing: Woke up the next morning and went out to inspect the damage to the crash bars. That's when I noticed a bunch of brown stuff smeared all over the left muffler and bag. What the....? Went down to the spot where I dropped it and discovered that I dropped it right into a pile of dog crap.

    Oh man, that is adding insult to injury to say the least. And you were able to upright the bike with shear force was amazing.

    Oh, man! That is just so not right.
    Thanks for sharing it, though. You're a great sport.
    It IS funny!
