magley64 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Went to pick up a bike my dad purchased.Apparently the previous owner didn't ride it much...2 miles down the road, the bike is falling on its face....I go to pull into a rite aid parking lot, and the front wheel locks up putting me into a low side... Left part of my ankle skin, knee skin, and grindings from the bike I just bought...also scuffed my jacket...Stood it up, called fonzie to see if he was in a position to help, no dice...Called every truck rental in the area, no dice...Finally just said "fuck this shit, I'm riding this bitch home"Went to auto zone up the road, bought a ratchet set, yanked off the front calipers and rode it home on the rear brake only.Minor injuries, a few scraped hard parts, a chipped mirror, and a scuffed jacket sleeve later, dad has a bike in the garage that runs pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyler524 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 Fonz called me and I would have given you a lift back if I wasn't in Columbus. Any other day and I would have been able to load it up in my truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted June 19, 2011 Report Share Posted June 19, 2011 What is it? This is what you get for bailing on the anniversary photo hunt ride. Seriously though, good to hear you made it home and all without too much damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bandit12 Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 That is a good looking bike, my cousin has one of those 10 speed models, good running bikes.That is funny that jstumpalump150 mentions GSXR's, I had an '86 1100 that had a broken lever and when I put the new one on I only made it about 100 yards up the road when it started nose diving and when I got off the edge of the road the brakes locked up. The new lever was holding pressure against the plunger on the master cylinder, took the lever off to get it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagger Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Sorry to hear.. I live in Wauseon and would've helped out. I went to school with the previous owners "wife?"
