I want to know WHO this murphy is because I'd like to speak with him!! (That would be sarcasm leading me into my story).
Was on my way to trade in the bike today when along came a truck who, by the way, had been following me for at least 5 miles, so he KNEW I was there..... RAN into the back of me throwing me over the handlebars of my bike. A cop, luckily was next to him and saw the whole thing. As I lay in the street to compose myself, more cops pull up and see me clenching my leg so called an ambulance. Oh geez. I'm fine. The bike landed pretty much on top of my leg so it was just super tender. Some really nice guys in two different cars helped pick up my bike and seemed pretty concerned for me, sweet. The guy in the truck, never, not once made eye contact with me which was good on his part! Ambulance eventually left and the cops wrote the guy, get this, 5 tickets! He was in his work truck, talking on his cell phone, digging around on his passenger seat looking for something, and had no seat belt on. Did the words "ahole" want to come out of my mouth? Of course! But, I just left it to the police to do what they had to do. They were very nice.
ANYWAY, was SUPER upset!! Now I'd have to wait to get things fixed and it would be a ways away before I could get something else. Let me repeat, I was ON MY WAY to the dealership to trade it in and some guy ran into me! If that's not murphy's law, I don't know what is.
Surprisingly, I've gotten to know the guys at the dealership pretty well over the years, so they still took it in on trade without any penalties and still the same trade price they gave me to begin with as the bike didn't have any noticeable damage that couldn't be easily fixed. Frame slider did it's job as to not scratch the fairing. Whew! All the other parts that got messed up or extremely bent are just getting replaced using the insurance of the evil man who hit me.
So how did the day end? Got myself a 2011 GSXR white. Just waiting for it to be lowered, so should have it by this weekend.
Now, lets here your murphy's law stories.
