My dad just built a house on Canyon Lake and retired up there; my daughter may be going to Texas State and living with him next fall. I have been riding motorcycles for 40 of my 47 years, street bikes for about 25 years and have never ridden in the Hill Country and was looking forward to it. I WILL DEFINITELY let you know when I get up that way with my bike. Went to Dealer this a.m. and he said it will probably be in the shop a couple of weeks. It's amazing how much expensive cosmetic damage a 5-10 mph dump can do!

BFM, I feel for you. Glad your ok. If you took a poll I think the #s of people that have gone down are sky high,everone has done something. I hope the ins co. pays for the damage. As far as it happening at work, It figures,when you hit that great tee shot or snag a big bass nobody sees it, but $&%^ like that always happens when people are around.

S-F-M; Good luck with the repairs, and good you're OK. Like Vic sez, all else is fixable. Remember, ebay is your friend...take it from a S-F CAS*

It's a terrible feeling. I laid my BMW down a few weeks ago in a crowded parking lot. There I was laying flat on my back looking up at the sun and wondering how the hell I just did that. Saying I felt like and idiot doesn't begin to describe it. Not a scratch on me though so I felt real lucky. You can kick yourself or just get back up, fix it, forget about it and ride.
