Default Dropped my 14' SGS today
I dropped it in the garage trying to walk it around my wife's bike. Ruined my whole day.

Oh well...1st scratch is in the books so now you don't have to worry. Just order a new fender, or have yours fixed...problem solved.

Ouch, that's an expensive lesson right there....

That's why I'm always sitting on my bike while moving it, I do envy the people who can wheel them around standing next to them but that has always scared the chit out of me....

Little or big...scratches, dents, scuffs...they all hurt and suck! Good Luck getting it fixed!

Yea, I was actually on the bike. Duckwaking it I guess is the term. Probably better off getting it repaired myself than going through the insurance company. Other than my pride, nothing else was hurt. It happened while my wife was out in the garage, so I was lucky in a strange weird way. Already took the fender off and will take it in to get it fixed this week. I'm looking at about a $400-500 repair bill, but it could have been much worst...

I straddle the bike when I move it. Never felt comfortable walking beside it, fearing she'll fall away from me!

Pride heals...

Glad you're ok.

The rest is just iron, rubber and paint.
