Well it finally happened?arrived home from a great ride and went to open the garage door. Thought I put the side stand down and I?m not sure whether or not it went down or popped back up. You know the next part?leaned her over and she just kept going. Oops, BRAINFART. So I laid her down as nice and gentle as a 700+ pound dead weight can be laid down.
Now here?s the best part. ..You know all the videos on the technique of picking up a dropped bike [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sP3cqKbOEs"]YouTube - How To Pick Up a Dropped Motorcycle ?well I assumed the position and walked her right back up, secured the kickstand and Voila?Piece of cake. More importantly a lot of confidence gained on how easy it was to pick her up. Checking for damage, all she had was a little scrape on the tip over wing. WOW. Lucky I was able to lay her down as gently as I did, no bag damage?NADA.
So, I just ordered a new tip over wing from Cheap Cycle Parts $14.55 http://www.cheapcycleparts.com/products/361822-honda-64265-mcs-g01-hard-parts-cover-l-engine-guard She?ll be good as new next week.
