Sorry to hear about your mishap.
It's a bit late now, but this may be of some help later.
I fitted an R & G muffler protector against such a mishap as yours.
If you fitted one now it would cover most of the scratch
Like Insurance, I hope I never have to use it.

I actually had one of those bookmarked in my Revzilla wish list and had $20 Revzilla reward credit toward it ... but ended up spending it on a Vespa tire instead.

Well, I've now officially fallen on both side of the bike now, both at 0 mph. (The first story involves not being able to see that bright orange disc lock reminder cable in a dark, unlit street ... that one was really embarrassing.) I try not to get too precious with motor vehicles, as they do intermingle with others and not-ideal surfaces and conditions as part of their jobs ... and little poop happens. The bike came with some minor scratches on the non-muffler side (I think that's why it was fitted with engine guards after the fact). At least the chrome mirrors and muffler hide their battle scars well. :blush:

At it again ... hey, I didn't fall over this time! (Not for a lack of gravel though.)

Video version:

Cool bike display. Even cooler soundtrack (kinda Doors-like if they were around today).

 

[the Ferret]

That IS a cool display

Great share ZB. The unintended "The Tool Song"?

My first choice was Steve Winwood "I'm a Man" but that was flagged for copyright infringement.

And I forgot to pack my pliers ...

 

[GoldOxide_imp]

Scary top box! (... just like mine).

Hitting the road in the morning ... what's this month's challenge?

 

[max]

It's not my call but can i propose that you get to make that call zbillster on account of the sheer enthusiasm and volume of material, what shall we say?

Seasons greetings

Happy New Year!!

I’ve bern so wrapped up in my own world lately that I completely forgot about this awesome thread. My apologies.

It is noroomtomove’s next pick of subject since his was the last pic of subject (subject pic referenced above). I hope he picks a pic that piques our interest so that there are lots of new pics to pick over.

[Edit]. It seems that I was unable to pick noroomtomove’s pic for repeating in this post, but his “Season’s Greetings” post does appear to be the pic that qualifies him to pick this month.

I yield to noroomtomove. It's sunny and 65 here so taking the girl out for a spin.

Photo topic for January 2019

Keeping the theme simple and readily available to all.

"Rock"

Any kind of rock you like.
Historically or culturally significant or insignificant.
Sculpted by artisan or nature, perhaps just a rock be it small or large.

All the best for 2019 and safe riding.

Regards NRTM

I know exactly the photo I want to post for this month, but the weather this time of year will make it difficult for me to get to the location. Checking the 14 Day forecast......

 

[Ben70_imp]

You guys rock!

Would this rock qualify? It is rock, err, asteroid PIA22970. I know, I know, kinda difficult to ride the CB too. But it seems to meet the requirements?

 

[emptysea]

Your CB (and preferably you) need to be in the pic. If you can manage to get your bike into space close enough for a pic with the asteroid, that would probably be some kind of record. If on the other hand, the asteroid where to hit Earth near your CB, it’s fairly likely that your picture would turn out over-exposed.
