Wont be the last time either so why your at the dealer invest in crash bars for the front of the bags. Only damage your will have is some scratches in the chrome that you cant see without laying on the ground.
It's "dumb mistake" category that hurts the worst, especially when you damage one thing while trying to fix another. I feel for you. In my younger days I would have heaved a wrench through a wall, but I learned that sort of reaction only gives me more **** to fix.
I dropped my 2108 RGU about 2 weeks after I got it. Restaurant parking lot stopped while bars were turned left, got a little off balance and couldn't hold bike up. Down it went. No damage due to engine guard and bag guards. Only damage was my EGO.
that sucks, Its hit or miss sometimes when I go to add air in the shed. If I cant reach I wait. Then sometimes I try to see what I can break so I can fix it.
Just what are you willing to sacrifice to save your bike. Or maybe your Corvette. My garage is tight, so my bike is parked about 4 inches in front of my corvette. Not typically a problem because I'm pretty careful. But the jiffy stand came up without realizing it and the bike kept going down TORWARD THE CORVETTE. All is good though, I stuck my leg between the car and the bike until I found enough strength to get it back up again. The vett is safe, the Harley is safe. The leg hurts, but .......
Dropping or knocking a bike over is not good anytime.
Stopped on a back country road one Saturday to take a whiz and the next thing I knew the bike was going over in slow motion.
After grunting, straining and cussing a couple of ranchers checking fences while drinking some Lone Stars stopped and helped upright the bike.
My offer to pay for refreshments was politely declined.
Was there something on the floor that damage the derby cover otherwise it shouldn't touch the ground form just laying down the bike.
Derby cover was fine the scratches are directly under the derby cover on my primary but I got a new primary cover. I just didnt want to live with the scratches this soon since ive only had the bike two months. Probably gonna invest in some black saddlebag guards as well
