Learn from it. There are lots of inexperienced riders out there that can be blamed for our mistakes.

Bad things happen. You did some things right to minimize any possible issues. You had some gear on you and a gaurd on the bike. Live and learn. Glad to hear you are fine.

Glad you and the wife are ok, I could add an opinion also, but we all know the story on opinions. Life is about learning, just glad this lesson wasn't too costly.

Glad no one got hurt.....

Get the recall work done. I got my lowrider in 08 and it never leaked a drop of gas until about 6 months ago, it got progressively worse until I could only fill my tank halfway to keep gas from spilling while turning or accelerating.

It literally takes them 10 minutes to adjust the filler neck. I took my bike in, bought a oil filter, checked out the bikes on the floor, by that time my bike had already been brought back out.

Hasn't leaked a drop since.

But if yours leaked when it was down I would bet its going to slowly get worse until the gas cap starts clicking way before it seals.

You are probably correct. Next time I take it in for service or just out for a ride I'll take her in. There was one post that said they cut some new deeper threads and that left some bare metal. Did you notice that? A little leary on them maybe creating a rust problem later on and having to replace the tank. I know that would take a long time but I do plan on keeping it a long time.
BTW I have decided after reading some of these posts to stay away from group rides or at least be at the far rear of the group.
