Default well i guess it was bound to happen.

Yep...after 3months and 3k miles...i dropped it.

I was in safeway parking lot.I came towards end of isle in front of store and at last second saw 2 spaces, but i stopped to quickly and turned too much and down she went. It was a slowm-mo drop. I caught it half way but couldnt get'er up. So i gently set her down on ther right side, hit kill switch. Got off and turned my back to her grabbed throttle grip and brake and heaved her once and up she goes.

I didnt wanna look at the paint until i got home lol. there is only 1 small chip about 1/16'' wide so aint no biggie.The other marks only went surface deep.I can buff those out. Could have been worst and only 1 person saw me do it too....of course he stood there watching.


P.S. i may add that she went down on hot ashpalt.
