Never dropped a Paso, but today it happened.
Was coming to a 3 way, with my street being at about 60 deg to the main street,
and a 20 year old cut the turn, coming in my lane.
Braked hard and he missed me by a palm or so,
but the bike started leaning and it went far enough that I couldn't hold it.
So I put it down slowly, as I listened to the turn signal lens crack.
Obviously some scratches on the mirror and since it came off it scratched the windscreen
near the mounting, some scratches on the oil cooler cover, and on the clutch lever.
All pretty light, and it could have been a whole lot worse but I'm pissed nonetheless.
This BMW poser's insurance is supposed to pay but I'm concerned about paint matching,
this being the orig. paint. Any tips on that? On the windscreen, can they paint around
the orig. decal without it looking silly?
Regarding keeping the bike upright when it already leaned part of the way.
I needed to use my legs to push it back up (after I destroyed my back to get it to knee level
, but obviously when it's starting to lean, catching it with one's legs is not always an option.
Any other ideas, besides working out, eating spinach and all that.
