So, I've had the Monster less than a week, but Mother Nature obviously likes him, because the weather's been great to ride in every single day since.
Yesterday I'm cruising around and the gas light comes on. I head into the nearest gas station and pull up to the pump. Turn it off and put the sidestand down, but as I'm about to get off I see the pavement really slopes and the bike's at a precarious angle. No matter, I stay on the bike, run my card through, and fill the tank while I'm still on the bike. I look up and see a group of guys pointing and staring. Yeah, they're digging the bike, I'm thinking. They're giving me the thumbs up and nodding, and I'm loving it. Finish filling up, start up the bike, ready to give the boys a little of that Ducati noise as I leave, put it into gear....
...and I've left the sidestand down.
Hopefully they couldn't see how red my face was behind my face shield. :-[
