I like you guys but this isn't the club I wanted to be part of. I was moving the bike around in the garage taking pictures of the backrest assembly when it happened. I was using a block of wood under the kickstand instead of putting it on the center stand. Pure lazyness on my part. I got on the bike like I do every time with a bit of momentum to the right to get it up but...it was already up so when I gave it that momentum, it went over and there was nothing 135 pounds of me was going to do. I feel fortunate there was so little damage. Mostly to my ego. And its really ironic that I was going to start on the tip-over protection today.
I was planning on repainted it Cadillac Pearl White next year so this gives me that leverage with the wife.

Think of it this way. Now that its scratched up, you can stop worrying about it and just ride ;D

No worries there. If I wash it three times a year its an amazing thing. Rain or shine just doesn't mix with wax and polish.

Not exactly. I bought all the raw materials and was going to start milling the pieces. I guess now I know exactly where the points of imact are..permanently etched into my bike.
