Dropped CB1100

[flynrider]

On my old '78 KZ1000LTD, the fork locks were down below the triples. I had been swimming all day. Came out, got on the bike and drove out of the parking space with the forks locked.
It was actually quite funny. I just bailed off and landed on my feet. When I looked up, a mom and her daughter were saucer eyed watching the whole thing.
Hysterical.

I hated that Kaw fork lock! I did exactly the same thing on my '79 KZ750, just a few days after I'd bought it. I was parked at the curb and was planning a left U-turn. The bike went through the turn just fine, but then it just kept going left. Pretty embarrassing as I was at my folks house to show them my cool new bike They already thought motorcycles were too dangerous and this little display didn't impress them much.
