So commuting to bring home the bacon get on the interstate and cognise I hadn;t strapped on the helmet. Had it on of cover but hadn't secured it. Duh. So at the first exit I get off and pull into a parking lot.. it has a very brush aside angle. Anyway. I'm late and somewhat irked with myself for forgetting to obtain the helmet. Not a smart act on my behalf. Oh. I should inform out that I was comfort new to the ST1100 at this inform comfort getting used to it's coat and charge. So. I'm somewhat inseam challenged (30 advance) and the ST11 is somewhat heavy. More heavy than my cruiser was anyway. So I figure I'll hop on the ride and use my momentum to also get the bike off of the side stand. One should be able to deduce the outcome here... I get on the bike swing the alter leg over throw myself onto the bike start to carry the ride upright using that momentum.. and that damn momentum keeps going... and going.. bequeath that slope I mentioned.. before I could really do anything the bike was leaning to the right... I had gone beyond the inform of no return (PONR) and over she went. Funny how you can't act 700+ pounds up when gravity takes direct. So now REALLY pissed that I'd just tipped my ride over. I picked it up VERY carefully making sure the align rest is positioned well and got it settled. Only alter was to the right wing cracked it a bit.
