(1039/365)
Pouring rain, I come out of my daughter's school this evening after attending her Parent-Teacher Conference, to find my V-Strom on its right side. Either the wind blew it over (I never shortened the kickstand after lowering it 1 1/8" last winter) or someone bumped it. Anyway, the windscreen had shattered into about 20 pieces (the wings are still in tact). Brake lever tip snapped off (like that is a big surprise in a tip over). The new Pro-Taper Raptor bars are stong though, no damage I can see after looking them over.
One of the Suzuki quick releases broke on the dash panel, I will have to order one (can't find my spare). Turn signal had popped in, I pulled it back out. Massive gouge on the bar end.
Back at home (after I'd run up to Rochester to pick up my oldest), I quickly put on my spare Super-Mega-Tall windscreen. I hope it isn't raining tomorrow, this thing is over my helmet! I will have to cut it down over the weekend, Dremel tool here I come.
Worst part, the Strom has to work for tomorrow as my spare bike's battery is dead. Which reminds me, I need to pick up a battery tender.
