Damn - pulled out of that driveway at least 99 times and never scraped metal to concrete but then again I wasn't riding a bagger the hundredth time.
Managed to scrape the bottom of a muffler bad enough. I guess I'm the only one that knows it's rashed up so maybe I'll just let it go. Not happy though . . .
I know - I just feel like a dumba$$! Tires are good - that's one thing I don't fool around with ever since a buddy of mine nearly lost a leg due to a low tire pressure (couldn't hold a turn).
If you are rider scratches, scrapes, and dings are going to happen. Only way to avoid it is leave the bike in the garage.
Do worry about most of us don't get on our hands and knees to look.
Turn to the right - it is what it is but I don't have to like it. That's one of the nice things about my Fatboy -the only surface I ever grind is the footboards. Anything else and you're not riding anymore!
