15-year old pops!

The rubber seal around the oil-level sightglass has hardened over the past 15 year. Started the R11 up to go to fellowship breakfst Saturday morning and the sightglass popped out.

Got the side stand down then lost (foot) traction and just kinda slid off the bike. Had a choice of falling or falling and dragging the bike over on top of me. Settled for the former.

After I got off the floor I said a prayer of thanks that it was in the garage and not on I-30 at 70...

 

Yikes.

Amazed you got the stand down...and, yeah, pretty amazing it happened in the garage.

 

Damn!

 

Good to hear you are okay. Definitely better that it happened where it did.

:up: on the stand. Luck comes with knowledge and practice.

 

That is scary! Glad it was in the garage and you had the experience to handle it so well. Hope you aren't too sore after the fall :up:

 

Looks like a crime scene.

 

You should get a new Bimmer out of this... Email them!!!

 

Just curious. Y would they give him a new machine? It is 15 years old

 

I believe its a joke....

 

Fo-sho

That would have been bad.

 

Its either entitlement or sarcasm.......

What a mess. Definately better in the garage than movin!

 

Ok. lets go with the entitlement method.

How?? It's 15 years old.

I am not being smart, I just don't see the light.

 

Stop trying to end the drama before it's even started!

Sheesh!

 

They told me that they would have warrentied it if she didn't have over 100k miles on `er...

OBTW, Bimmers are cages. Beamers are bikes.

 

Best time/place to have a problem. :up:

 

So who tracked through it barefoot?

 

Happened to a buddy of mine last year while he was out riding. He's got nice new parts in his motor now.

 

Nobody parked a HD there before you?

 

I am never going to make a sarcastic comment again on this forum! Dry humor just doesnt bid well in BBS land...
