Tell me about it, Its due for something though since its been running very well and have logged a lot of miles since sept. I think I need to check the kickstand though, 2 or 3 timse since the near disaster it wouldnt go down when I pushed it.

Nice save. One time, at my ex's family's house, a guy was parking his busa in a driveway next door. Well, my ex's family happens to live in SF, on a very steep hill. He was fumbling with his kickstand, and started falling off to the right, which happened to be the going down the hill side. He quickly jumped off on the underside of the bike and managed to hold it until help arrived moments later. After that, he decided to park on the top of the hill in a flatter area.
