LOL.......I did the Exact same thing on my Fat Boy...I though that I had been SHOT!!!
The Plug smacked me in my Leg ( With Shorts on) and there was HOT Oil all over my leg.
I thought that it was Hot Blood pumping out....I didn't want to Look Down!
Seriously......I thought that some NUT JOB....was doing an Easy Rider on me, but Missed! lol

You reading the level mark or side stand mark. They all have two measurements. On side and upright.
