Gravel Is Evil!!! When I had 1,400 on Sparky... I dropped him-Oh Noooo!!!! 1st gear, right turn, slight downhill, going from pavement to an alley with a gravel parking area along alley. Little groove between alley & parking area, don't think I turned quite as far as I should, back tire sorta 'cross-rutted' ? just 'Toinked over' onto the R side. Turned Sparky off, thought about lifting him...ran in my friends house asking for Aaron. I dropped my baby-couldn't bear doing more damage attempting my first lift in gravel, uphill, Aaron did it
Bent turn signal back into place. Two little scratches at the end of the pipe (won't buff out), handlebar end (removed, sanded, painted-pretty again). Tiny barely there scratch on mirror & fender...gouged into the paint/plastic, only a half inch long but...hey now I have a reason for a chrome fender tip I always wanted ('chrome' decal ok for now).
