I donated $10.00

[GolfVenture]

I recently learned about the donation process when you dump your bike.

 

1) It was back in around Oct of 2010. I was in the garage and wanted to turn the Venture around. I was recovering quite well from open heart surgury on 4 May 2010. But I was in no condition to picking up an 800 lbs of Venture.

 

The Story: While turning the Venture around in the garge, I knew had to be careful. So I put the kickstand down so it would catch the fall in case I dropped the VR.

 

So with the side stand down I was also off the Venture's left , I pushed the Venture foward, In so doing the side stand druged on something and kicked the stand back.

beyond the threshhold point.

 

After I got the bike where I wanted it I let it onto what I tought was the side kick stand down. Oops no side kick stand, the bike started go down and I just let it go.

 

I first put it in gear and took a come-along and hooked it to the frame of the pick up trunk and got the Venture up.

 

2) I pulled off the side of the road where it was paved. It was up hill on a sharp corner and the sidepaved road went up to greet me. I also stoped for I needed to turn around

the VR aroiund for I went too far.

 

So I stop where I could let gravity push me back and to the right. Well because the right side of where I stoped was quickly going dow, I had to get the bike stopped and leaned to the left.

 

Everything happend so fast. The bike leaned over to the right side and over she went. It so happend that a you guy stopped and asked if I needed help get the VR back upright. I humbled accepted his offer.

A couple of weeks ago I ran to the store. I kicked down the kick stand, only to catch the tip with my shoe as I lifted my foot back to balance the bike while tilting the bike over to the non-existing kick stand.

 

It all happened so fast, as I heard the kick stand snap back up, but every other motion was in process. I had to just let the bike slowly tilt to the side down to the chrome bars. Using the technique learn by using your back and walking the bike back up, it was only down for less than 10 seconds.

 

Is there a 10 second rule like the 5-second food hitting the floor rule ??

 

 

If not, who do I owe the $10.00 to ???

Not to hi-jack the thread, but just so you know the 5 second rule can get you in trouble.

My friend and I bought lunch at the BK as we were in habit of doing and taking it back to the shop to eat. Well, I dropped a fry on the floor and invoked the five second rule. Too late my friend said, "Man, that's from yesterday. The one you dropped is in your lap."

 

I kinda lost my appetite.
