I left the Wing in the garage and took the KLR650 to town. At the stop sign at the end of the street a young (15) kid rode a bicycle past the intersection just before I got the there. I made the stop and then the right turn and idled up behind him, a car past from the other direction, and the he decided to make a u-turn in front of me. I hit the brakes and turned as I smacked into him. I dropped the bike and did a filp onto my head. He fell on top of my bike. He jumped up as I crawled to my feet. He started to ride off. I stopped him, WE picked up the KLR as his mom drove up. She saw what happened. She began to yell at him and he began to cry.
No one was hurt much. I'm a little sore, I scraped my knee, and the KLR is almost ok. I called the office (I'm a Deputy) to report the incident for the log.
What would have happend if I had been on the Wing. A 900 pound bike would have made a big difference on me and the kid, plus my 2010 Wing with less than 1000 miles would have seen some damage.
Glad I could vent here.....
