Default Stupid decision
Well it started raining yesterday and I had the bike out. Well I decide to put in the shop and ignore my loving and ever so caring wife who was telling me to leave it unde the trees. Well I should have listened. Ended up dumping the bike in the wet grass because I was in a hurry. Lesson learned

Anyone got an engine guard they wanna get rid of???

Crap, man...that sucks! On several levels! And I'm way too smart to get into the 'wife' discussion!

Sounds like an easy fix...and we'll write it up as 'Lesson Learned!'

In the grass...no big deal. On a hard surface, the deal gets bigger.

So, you dumped it on grass and the engine guards are damaged ? Wow, my wife dropped her Street Glide 5 times on pavement and no damage at all other than a few scratches on the bottom of the guards.
