No pictures, thank God, please don't ask.
After riding up to a friend's place in the Mt. Washington part of Los Angeles from the LAX area on Friday for dinner - a long, nice, relaxing dinner (NOT drinking/etc., just regular relaxing) I totally dumped the bike leaving the curb in front of their place.
Yeah. FAIL.
I can't tell you what exactly happened except that:
* I obviously forgot to remove my disc lock
* I goosed the throttle on the way down (because I heard the engine rev up)
* I hopped off the port (left), previously-low-sided side of the bike uninjured
and
* The auto-ignition kill worked
The only positive side is I don't THINK our friends saw me (my wife had met me up there in her car and had thankfully just previously departed for home), due to the nature of their window coverings.
Anyway.
Thank you, that is all.
