A sad day

Well on the way to work i laid amber down. got caught in a rain storm and lost it in the corner. I was going slow and cautious because of the rain. dont know if it was oil or what but laid her down low side on the left.

Here are the photos

NY you are right, Thankfully i walked away with a couple scratches where the road ate through my gloves and a sore shoulder. Bikes can always be rebuilt or replaced.

i lucked out the tail section is just white off my boots should be able to take that off with a magic eraser i hope. ill find out Thursday. That is the soonest ill be able to tend to her

Post inspection looks good. I will need a new bar end mirror for sure. the LH pod cover needs replacing the opening i may be able to salvage. the tail i was able to buff out all the scratches to the point that i can only notice it when i am searching for it.

Now for the down side it looks at though the axle bolt may have sheared a thread out of the swing arm. I dont know if it has always looked that way and i am doing a more through inspection or what.
