As for my bike. I have an '07 thats been dropped already. I got touchup paint and a new decal and did my best to make it better. Not one person who checks out my bike even notices italthough its so easily spotted. For the most part only the owner really notices just a little rash. As long as you touch it up other people won't even see it.

 

Your left side, or the bike's?

 

dude, don't feel too bad. i've been riding for a year and never dropped it once!

oh yeah, last week, i dropped it twice... when it rains it pours i guess [:'(]

 

LOL both actually

 

yeah, it's really the second time I dropped it - 1st go I was trying to turn in sand (and had been learning to ride for approximately 2 weeks at that point) and now this... There was some downtime last year because txn_driver lowsided it (I was on the back but he was in control) so my baby has had a rough life - but I will not be deterred here! HAHAHA - at least till the next time it happens

 

Its a cruddy feeling. Even now after my crash it looks good as new, no one can tell. But i still know [:@]
