I am not feeling as bad now after reading fellow bikers experiences. I dropped my CB 1100 pulling it out of a parking spot that was on an incline. The Darned Engine on this Bike is So heavy despite best effort to stop its fall NO nothing worked. Thanks to a by standing mate who quickly lunged forward to help lift the fallen bike which felt like a ton especially when i saw the damage to Left crankcase. The Left Speedo had the Chrome Plastic covers I bought from Takashi at Samurider so not much damage done except I had to buy these chrome covers again. I am now working out how to replace the L crank case I have bought new but as it seems the original gasket will be damaged on removing it. But I have bought the Engine Bars for at least some protection which I will install someday. After this experience I am riding less of Honda and I am back to riding more of my other bike Kawasaki W 800 which is so much easier to handle due to much lighter weight and so well balanced. The Engine on Honda Protrudes too much outwards so damage prone it is..
