Parking lot confession
I dropped my VFR in a parking lot recently. The weather was cold, and I started 'er up, turned the bars to the right and let out the clutch too quickly. The motor died, and I plopped over on my right side. Yes, there were witnesses.
This is the first time I have dropped a bike in a parking lot in 10 years and 100K+ miles of riding. Kinda funny, considering I recently took the MSF course and practiced all those slow speed maneuvers.
Damage list
- Right peg: broke off
- Right mirror: broke off after I attempted to bend it back into position (sigh)
- Ego: Irrevocably shattered

Happens to the best of us..... Glad you are ok and the bike can be fixed.
