Had a little excitement today. Never got a scratch on the bike in Mexico, but today on I5 about 30 minutes south of Patterson CA, I am assuming a part of steel fell off or out of a highway tractor.
I Could not tell which truck as it was very busy and the part was doing the ping pong thing between car and tires. I thought I missed most of it, but it still caught the wheel, ripped the front tire, and bent the heck out of the centre stand. See picture of how far the center stand lever has been pushed back.
BTW anyone have a spare centre stand that want to get rid of? I was going to order a new one when I get home, but before I do I might as well ask.
Got a new Dunlop Elite 3 at Stockton Honda, who where good enough to get me in and out over the lunch hour.
Now I am enjoying dinner at the Palomino room in Red Bluff where I have a hotel room for the night.
