The story goes like this; woke Sat morning to painters throwing plastic on cars in the parking lot. I was leaving and they didn't bother to cover the bike. There were no parking spaces left so I rolled the bike to the only area I could fit it; which happened to be under a tree by a side walk away from the paint action on a narrow strip of asphalt.
Left for the day to work on my sons truck and came home to find Crisis taking a nap on the asphalt.
The center stand sunk into a cavern and down she went. It was maybe 86F :spank::spank::spank:
Damage:
Pride, pride, Pride
Brake lever lost its knob
Bar end abrasion
Very minor scuff to fairing corner and edge of mirror
RS pod has a dime width vertical scratch. Lucky there.. .. ..
Powder coat on end of brake lever thrashed and lever bent slightly.
Peg feeler snapped out of the soft aluminum peg, minor abrasion to powder coated rear set
TANK IS OK!!!!! :cheer:
Not the way to end the season and my own fault for placing her there. Sadness.. .. ..
On the bright side - She's still fit to run around the stable and its only cosmetic. I was afraid to pick her up and see the tank all smushed! Glad that's OK!!!! it coulda been MUCH worse!
1st tip/down in 3 years 17,000 miles.
So - I can relate to seeing your bike down. IT SUCKS!!!!
