well....its finally happened. i finally put her down [X(] i was parked on a sidewalk in front of a bar that i was leaving from....and i was backing out to leave with the ramp right behind me. as i backed up i rolled into the ramp dipping downward (which i thought wouldn't have been a big deal....)turned the handles to pull out only to realize the car parked infront is too close and that i cant manoeuver by. i tried to back up the ramp which was a no go b/c the ramp was too steep. tried again to slowly to creep by the car....when..........down i went. right infront of the door like a jackass. not to mention putting a little nick on my fairing.

i guess it was bound to happen sooner or later....better that i wasn't moving i guess....

next time i should probably give myself a little more room to move.....or maybe i should have gotten off the bike to push it. lesson learned.

 

Sorry to hear that dude. Hopefully just a minor scratch and no cracks.

 

Sorry to hear about it, everyone says it happens, but that don't make you feel better. Like you said, better you weren't moving.

 

Welcome to the site I feel ya, its never nice when the bike goes down. Hope its an easy and cheap fix for ya.

 

sorry to hear about that. at least it's just a "nick" and not a crack. gotta look on the bright side

 

yeah....no crack. just a bruised pride. when the bike went down...i went down too (even though i really could have just stood up and not have fallen). just layed there (spread eagle) in the parking lot for a second thinking about what had just happened.

thanks everyone for the input...hope this doesn't happen to anyone else.

 

It will, but its something that everyone will experience. Glad you ok!

 

Everyone does it...touch up paint might help you out.

 

is touch up paint any good??? any experiences? worth the trouble?

 

Sorry to hear that. Atleast it wasn't to bad. Sorry I can't help on the paint.....
