Default Anybody take a slide?

A few years ago I slid my honda shadow in a corner on a wet, cold street at night. Once I got it up and back on the road the only things that were damaged were my jeans, one edge of the tank, the mirror, grip, footpeg and tailight. Was able to ride it home and order the parts and complete a pretty cheap fix. Now I've got a FXD and got to wondering if anyone had laid theirs down and how it held up? I'm considering an engine guard but I really like the clean looks without it. I know those engine guards say that they're just for tip-overs but I'd think they'd provide pretty good protection in an accident. What's everyone's take?

Personally Id never run engine guards when Iknow a person that might have escaped a collision with car coming across center line it caught the guard and sucked em right in

Better protection than not having them but I'm still not putting them on my bike. That's why I pay Progressive every year!
