So here is what happened.
On Saturday I went to a party at xxxx xxxxxxx's house. had a couple of beers, but was totally fine driving back to xxxx's house. so I am making the turn into his street/driveway, (it is a cul-de-sac) hit some gravel, and whamm! I am laying on the ground, and the neighbors are coming out of their houses. Of course I jump up, all, "I'm Ok, I'm ok," go pick up my scooter, (it slid like, 20 feet) and push it to xxxx's house, parked it, went inside and started drinking. So today I am checking out the damage. There is a chunk out of my fairing on the left side, the left side crash bar is kind of ground down, my spoiler is in pieces, front fender guard is pretty mangled, left centerstand boot is gone, Spare wheel cover is totally
scrapped up, and the "ball" end of my clutch lever is broken off. As far as me, I am Ok, but my left knee and elbow are pretty banged up, and my ribs hurt. My brand new helmet visor has a big scrape down the front, (better than my face, I guess!) My new Doc Martin wingtips are all scuffed up. what a drag.
2:23pm.
So other than the cosmetic damage, my scooter seems mechanically sound, so I am hitting the road. Supposed to go to a BBQ at xxxx's house tonight.
4:00pm
Half Moon Bay. Got a buck and a half in gas, and have been just letting the engine cool for the last 15 min. Scoot is running well, but I am taking it pretty easy.
