Not a good start for my ride
I went to the gas station to fill my tank. I turned the handlebars to the right like I do a lot. This station has a slight slope away from the pump and I thought it was OK. Well obviously it wasn't !!!
I got away with minimal damage that only cost me $170.00 in new parts Still able to pick it up myself at nearly 71 years old.

You did better than me when I dropped my Voyager a few years ago. A passerby in a car stopped to help me lift the bike.
The crash bars did their job and there was no damage to the bike. Last edited by redjay; 12-24-2022 at 08:18 AM. |

Sorry to aliving a thread but just to ask a question here, To wear while riding, are there any ready-made backpacks available with the water holder compartment? I was in touch with the Viking bags (https://www.vikingbags.com/collectio...ycle-backpacks) and they said that they can make a custom one but they are charging too much for it plus the time. I'm not a very technical person and not really into doing it by myself, plus I have my camera gear in my backpack so I need something highly waterproof from the inside.
