My pristine 2009 went down the other night. I was riding home and got caught in a big rainstorm. I went through a construction zone where they funneled traffic into the left lane. As we exited, I moved back into the right lane. What I couldn't see was that the right lane had 3" of fresh asphalt. My tires caught on this uneven pavement and slipped out in the wet. Fortunately I was only going 20-25 MPH. I suffered a skinned knee and some bruises, face shield is all scraped up, glad it wasn't my face.
Frame slider took the brunt of it and I think my soft saddle bags helped too although they show no wear. The right mirror and headlight surround "mole" both have road rash and there is a scuff in the engine case. I think sandpaper, a little bondo and paint will fix everything.
I tried to do a search with no luck, anyone know a good plastic paint to match the matte black on the plastic parts?
