Mom dropped her bike and no one helps!
So i gave my mom my 250 when i bought my 600 and she dropped the bike today at a stop light. Damage was
1. Smashed "modmy250" turn signal 2. bend exhaust hanger (pushed in passenger peg) 3. Scratches on the oil right mirror and fairings 4. chip out of bar end now i don't know how to bend out that exhaust hanger (passenger peg) that holds the exuast up cause it look pretty solid. I need to buy a new turn signal, hoping "modmy250" can sell me 1 instead of a pair. And even after the drop and fell on a public road ppl still just drove around her! didn't stop to see if ok or anything. minutes later a guy in a truck comes around and help pick it up for her cause she couldn't lift on her own. |

Glad she is OK.
Most people suck, but some others are super-good just to compensate.

^^^^ bwahahahhahahahahah
There is a video of how to pick up bike even for the daintiest of riders. You might want to dig it up and have your mum give it a go and hope she never needs it again. If you can't find it, lemme know and I will dig it up.

That sucks Matthew. I would've stopped to help.
You should show her how to pick up the bike? It doesn't take much strength if you do it right. http://www.pinkribbonrides.com/dropped.html

Sorry to hear about your mom. glad she's ok.
I helped a burly HD dude pick up his Road King yesterday at the gas station...so I must be one of those super-good guys. I could tell he hated needing my help.
