Default My bike went through a tornado

SO we had tornado's in Colorado today and of course my luck its touchdown point was right at the building I was working in ripped all the doors off, all glass blown out **** blowing everywhere in the parking lot all I could think of was well my bike is gone prob got lifted and thrown miles I will never see her again. One of my co-workers says he saw a motorcycle in the cyclone looked like yours my hopes were crushed bout 2 minuted later another worker said "you are one lucky mother****er you bike is still here we picked it up for you" the ONLY DAMAGE sustained is a cracked right rear view mirror. SUZUKI DURABILITY BABY!! now I will have a hell of a time cleaning it, there is mulch EVERYWHERE will post up pics soon. Man what a day

Glad to hear the damage wasn't worse. Would they have let you bring the bike inside the building?

No they were being bastards because it has gas in it could be an explosion hazard given the unique situation believe me I really wanted to

East Aurora.Definitely lucky given 4 co workers cars are totaled, many others have no windows, miscellaneous dents from the baseball sized hail that was dropped for 5 minutes b4 the turnader and threw this trailer parked in the lot across the street and just tipped over my 300 some lb bike... think I will share the story with suzuki hopefully they will give me a new one(I can dream can't I) Here's your damn pics so I don't fail anymore
As you can see mulch everywhere the first pic of all the mulch is just from taking the fairings off the last pic is after I got my compressor and blew air into every nook and cranny of the bike... effin crazy
my bluetooth is acting up otherwise I would have the picture of the funnel cloud that came for us its a bad *** pic if I do say so myself
