The weekend I bought it Friday, dropped it Sunday

I posted this last year *elsewhere*. Connie Dropper. I have been riding for 5 years and been in the hunt for a Concours for the last three. Spotted her on Craigslist just an hour away. 1997. Made the deal. Spent Sunday morning cleaning her up. Previous owner *swears* there really are only 32800 miles on her. Less than 100 yards from the garage...slow speed. Still in the neighborhood, quick stop on an slope...down she goes. Bad news/ Good news. This was not the first time this bike has been dropped. Charley in Charlotte NC
 
I have more trouble when pulling up to stops. If you are not in full pilot mode then this thing will let you know. Any last minute turn or over brake is all it takes. Sorry for your troubles. If the peg did not break then check it real close. Cracked ones are mo dangerous. Photos[/url]
 
Charley, CDA0323. Looking back when I test drove my 99, I am surprised I didn't drop it when I turned it around in a small parking lot. Lucky! Greg H from Mass Connie Droppers Anonymous Awards Dude COG# 7010,a Tracey CDA 120 (2.0) 99 Connie "Herrin Christabelle" 05 Ninja 250
