I wonder if I am the first to drop one here in the states.
Anyway, I was about to round a little corner from my buddies parking area in his apartment complex and I saw a car pulling up. I wasn't going fast at all, but I grabbed the front brake too hard and quick and went down to the left. I felt stupid but eh, "it's not if you drop it, it's when you drop it" right??? I've had a few close calls before, now that I actually did it hopefully I won't make the same mistake twice.
I'll post some pics of the damage later.
The left mirror got scratched,
the clutch lever is scratched at the end
the left rear turn signal is cracked,
AND....the crankcase cover... the Honda etching is scratched as well as the bottom part of the cover is scratched.
Other than this, I had a pretty awesome day riding. Rode up Palomar twice and went down the 76 to the 78. When I got home, I realized I forgot my apartment key and the rest of the family was out. So I met up with my cousin and we rode De Luz road from Temcula to Fallbrook.
I put almost 200 miles on her today, and almost got 49 mpg.
I'm sorry, but you're cut from the team.
