[QUOTE="nik.hisham, post: 703389, member: 19294"] Thanks everyone, for your kind words. I truly appreciate it. After a few days, and giving my bike a wash (I've been riding it almost every day on my commute to work for the past week - in sunshine and in rain - its really dirty) it doesn't look so bad anymore. Plus, I'm thinking, 'ah what the heck. It's just a minor scratch'. So I don't feel so bad anymore. But the word Aasland used aptly described how I felt at first - devastated! But anyway - no big deal now. Also, I'm in a good mood today! I actually managed to put the bike on its center stand. With panniers and all! :yahoo: Imagine that - all 125 pounds of me propping a 650 pound bike on its center stand (yes, I'm the skinniest guy ever on an FJR). Amazing what you can do with the proper technique. And I realize that its supposed to be 'pull back' and not 'lift up'. The foot pressing down on the stand will take care of the lifting up. Thanks all for the excellent advice on how to get it done! [/QUOTE]
