It's been about 25 years since I had a bike on the ground...

    ...and now I'll start that streak over. :(

    Dummy me was turning around in a friends driveway and snubbed the engine in a slow, full lock turn. Needless to say after what seemed like a slow motion replay my wife, myself and my Ninja were horizontal rather than vertical. Just my pride is hurt. :oops: The damage is minor but very irritating. :x

    Left side mirror took the brunt of the damage.

    A few scuffs on the fairing.

    Still looks good from this side. :)

    So let this be a lesson. When they say keep the rubber side down it's for a reason.

    Damn, sorry to hear Brad.

    When I saw it rolling through the recent post scroll with you being the last poster, i was reallllly hoping it wasn't you.

    But alas better in a driveway than skidding across 41.

    I'm just glad it wasn't me when you let me take it for a zip around the block :D

    Going to touch it up yourself or have it done by a body shop?

    I'll think about what I'm going to do after my grief counseling. :D

    OK. Now you can call it a street fighter! :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Seriously though. Glad to see that it is only minor cosmetic damage. Beyond the wounded pride of course!

    Len, grief counseling was a beer and a soak in the hot tub. :D

    Schmuckaholic, Loco Moco's rule! I always make sure to have a few when I visit my favorite destination, AKA, Maui.

    New mirrors and a set of frame sliders arrived today. I kind of wish I had the sliders a few years ago. :(
