rides

Well it was Saturday 9:00 am, we pull out of the driveway to ride to Mineral Wells State Park. Thunder on her 883 Harley, me, Blade on my Honda Shadow 1100.
We stop for gas on the other side of Ft Worth, I said I will get the gas
and pull out my credit card. Thunder says no I will buy the gas, I have some cash. So I say OK (you know not to disagree with a wife right they are alway's right). So I go into the attendant and hand her 100.00 and say we need to fill up on pump one. She replys OK the pump is on. This is one of the pumps with the spring loaded black plastic boot on it. We select the grade we want and try to pump the gas. No gas will come out. The attendant says you must push down hard to compress the spring loaded rubber boot so Thunder pushes down even harder. Still no gas so I go to the attendant and say the pump is not working. She again told me to push harder on the spring loaded black plastic cover so I tell Thunder push harder and as I do I see her 883 start to fall. It fell into the Honda. Now both bikes lay on the ground. We get them uprighted and I go back in the station to complain. The training manager saw the whole thing. I am mad at this point. The manager looks and says the pump was not reset so now we have two damaged bikes because of an old lady that didn't do her job correctly. The manager said the pump still had $20 from the last person so she reset the pump and we got our gas. As a result I am going to have to sue the 7-11 for the damage on my bike. The throttle grip is broken, the risers bent, mirror scratched, pipes scratched, broken break line holder on front fender, tank emblem scratch. Thunders bike scratched windshield, mirror, pipes, crash bars, knoced off her rear brake light cover.
All because we didn't use the credit card at the pump, I have waited a week to post this because Lori still feels bad about it but it was the ardent fault for not turning on the pump as I see it. They just keep telling her to push harder so she did till the bike fell over. So let this be a lesson to all those out there
watch out for the spring loaded pump switch kits now on pumps and never park near your wife's bike when she is filling up. After all that we still went to the lake and had a good time this weekend I am working on our bikes. We are trying to get 7-11 to compensate us for the damage but nothing yet. Hope you all had a good weekend !!!!!! Will let you know how it turns out.
