Default Not having a garage...

Sucks a huge donkey wiener!!! My F4i got blown over and broke the front brake lever off (all I was able to see at the time) in this bad storm we had tonight. I can't wait to get my own place!!! Arg!

Sorry I had to vent after coming home from a friends to find my damn bike tipped over.

He parks it out in the front lawn next to both broken down pickups, and a jeep that hasn't ran in 10 years.

I'm sure if my Xterra was parked next to the bike like it normally is when I'm home it wouldn't have got blown over. This is the second time a wind storm has knocked one of my bikes over, but the other was my supermoto bike so I didn't really care.

So I can add a bent handlebar to the list of casualties... anyone know any tricks to fixing a slightly bent handlebar? The dealer want $130 for it and I'm not going to spend that if I can help it.
