Well,it happened.......... - FLYTYM_imp - 08-27-2018
........I dumped the thing over. Went to put my foot down after a stop and my foot
slipped on a wet spot and the bike flopped on over. Tank,rear turn signal and my frame slider took a hit. I’ve already ordered new parts,I wanted to get a spare tank for a paint project but didn’t want one this was,oh well. It was going to happen,just a matter of time. Who rides a bike and never goes down one way or another?

Ok, that's ferret, josh and you, that makes three this week alone. No more, please.
At least you didn't suffer injuries.

Deary me, FLTM, I'm sorry to hear that. Sounds like you're OK and that's the main thing.

What year is your bike? I have my original red 13 tank just sitting in the garage.

That’s a bummer! I always worry about that but those things always catch one by surprise. Glad to hear it wasn’t worse.

There's a lot of gravity around here lately. Be careful.

Thank you for the offer but I’ve got one on the way.

I knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

oh no sorry to hear that Flytym. good news is, doesn't sound like you were injured in any way.
parts are expendable. i'm not even sure i'm going to fix mine. they are just scratches, bike rides just fine. Told my wife I was thinking about going out and dropping it on left side, so i I didn't have to worry about it anymore lol.

At least there is not a bunch of broken plastic to worry about.

Sorry for the mishap.
The streets in Las Vegas are super slippery and I have had boot slippage several times.
When it rains it would be easier to ride on ice.
