So I don't know what happened, whether a critter got in the garage, some random person walked into my house and threw it down and ran out (while my wife was cooking dinner in the kitchen, 20 feet away, or if my kickstand didn't get quite set and it took over an hour to fall over. Whatever mystery it was, my brand new bike is no longer scratch free.
My wife swears she heard someone come in the front door and go into the garage, and thought it was me, but given my good neighborhood and the fact that the garage door was closed, so the only way out is back through the two doors they came in, I think it was one of the other two options.
As far as I can see, it looks like a small scratch on the side of the tank from the mirror, a small scratch on the swingarm, and the only other places to touch were the bottom of the passenger peg and the end of the handlebars.
There are two or three drips of oil under the left front corner of the frame which I am trying to figure out where they came from, and I have not ridden it yet. I think it's going to just be the little scratches though.

It was most likely the side stand I would guess (unless it was your wife). My grandson crawls all over mine and I have shook and did all kinds of things to make sure it wouldn't fall over, just in case.
Put a new viking swingarm bag on. Not real big, but I have a stopandgo tire repair kit, alen key, torque head key, and a harley mini compresor in it. Also some 15a fuses. Talk to my tint guy, he is going to give me some scraps of 3m ppf to put on the swingarm where the straps go.

I always push my bike forward and take out all the drivetrain backlash before I set it down on the sidestand. That way it's pushing back against the stand and it can't roll forward.

Man, that's nice! I wonder if I could squeeze one in withis this license bracket? I won't give it up...
