In a moment of indecisiveness when turning right out of a junction I stalled it. In what felt like slow motion the bike tipped to the right and it gently touched down.........#@$%!
Apart from the embarrassment...there was lots!! I was physically ok. I picked the bike up off the floor and parked up to assess the damage, imagining the worst!
Expecting to see scratches on the tank plastics and rear subframe it was such a relief to find none there at all. The only damage was..
1) oem bar end weight scratched - oem part £21
2) oem brake lever broken at the end but still fine to use - oem part £51
3) oem mirror plastic very minor scratch - too small to bother with.
4) oem rear footrest hanger tiny scratches by the foot peg - I'll use some black paint and it will never notice. I'm so glad I hadn't taken these off, the damage would have been so much worse....
The footrest and rear brake lever touched down but they aren't marked at all. I also have Evotech front fork spindle bobbins which did touch down but are again unmarked.
All in all...my baby is ok....phew
