pulled into the local coffee shop and was about to set my bike down on the kickstand...oh fudge, where'd that kickstand go? down she goes....BUT, i laid her down nice and ez. got away with very minimal scratching to the alternator cover, a slightly scratched clutch lever tip, slightly scratched gear shifter lever, and a slightly scratched left footpeg. everything else is perfectly fine.
man that was dumb. first time ever to have that happen...and i've been riding motorcycles for eight freaking years. today was not my day. bad day at work and coming down with a cold. probably should not have been riding in the first place.
ah well, i got away pretty lucky i'd say. i'm gonna go find some paint to touch up the scratches this weekend.
no it shouldnt cost more than 70-90 i would think. my pal just replaces a scrached 675 alt cover. i want to say it was like 40 bucks... my 955 04 daytona was 50 if i remember...
this guy i know,, 3 days after he bought a speedy, dropped it when he made a turn and someone was coming the wrong way down tthe street and he braked to hard with the wheel turned, anyway,, this dude got lucky cause he got a warranty engine replacement so that scratch dissapeared.

Yeah, and this guy I know, he did the same thing Tekmoe did, two days after buying his speedy. BTW, he is a really cool, smart, and ..., uh, did I mention cool?
