Default Dropped New Dyna

New Dyna..just out of the shop with new bars...900 miles on her.

Needed to get out of the garage and driveway; two cars making it difficult to go between them, so I navigated over to the WET grass...got off balance and down I went...off to my right side. I let her go down slow..onto my boot..IN THE GRASS..no scratches, dents, marks of any kind. Man I was lucky. Felt like an idiot. Friend and I picked it up. Rode off. Did I mention I felt like an idiot?

dude, you clearly need to work on your version of the story. how 'bout "then this deer came darting around the corner, leaped over me and kicked me in the head on his way by. as i was losing consciousness the last thing i did was gently set her down in the grass. when i came around i got some fishing line and a hook and sewed up the gash in my head. then i drove home."

Everyone does it or will do it. Isn't it amazing that the first thing you thinK about is "Sh.. did anybody see me?!"
