Monday my new crash bars and highway pegs arrived, and were promptly installed. I rode it around all night playing with the position. Tuesday, after taking the loooong way home from work, I decided to take some pictures to post. Rather than show off my ugly pitted driveway, I decided to try to get some green grass in there. Just makes for a nicer picture! So I moved my bike up onto the walkway to the front door. Took the first picture.

Ok, now I gotta get something with the pipes, even though they are stock. So not sitting on the bike I turn it around. As I start to back it into place I start to lose it's balance. It falls away from me, gently, to the ground. Right before it hit I think, "Well, at least now I have the crash bars!" It went down on the highway peg, very lightly scuffing it. I look around to see if any of my neighbors are outside... Yes! Nobody saw that! I quickly lifted it back up, put the kickstand down, and parked it correctly.

So I've finally dropped my bike, I wasn't on it, and I'll never move my bike without me on it again.

Well, at least I got that out of the way! (I'm hoping to never get the accident out of the way...)
