Damn little gremlins!!!

So first off, I came out of the guy yesterday and noticed my bike was leaning waaaaay over, much further than it ever has. Figured it was because of the parking spot.... Put my gear on, start it, filp the kick stand up and take off. I leave the parking lot and try to shift up and it felt weird and wouldn't shift. Looked down and see i'm trying to shift with the kick stand because it was bent. So I get home and put another on:

Then tonight I go for a little ride after work, noticed something didn't feel right as I turned onto my road, got home went inside and let the bike sit for 30min to cool down a little. Come back out to put it up so I could go to the gym..... and bam:

So, something or someone has a beef with me, I just hope its over.

Well it looks like you have an early gen XB so the kick stands are known to fail (there's an upgraded).

My '04 firebolt nearly fell over in my arms one day when i noticed that the pivot pin snapped. And i'm gentle with my kickstand. I dont pivot my bike on it or hardly ever sit on the bike when the bikes sitting on the kick stand.

So someone only has beef with your tires [smirk]

I knew there was a problem with them but I figured that since my was 6yrs old when I bought it that it would have already been done. Didn't realize that the switch won't work with the upgrade and mine still has it.
