Dropped Doc this afternoon. Low speed, maybe 15, more likely 10-12. Left hand turn coming off a light. Came over a couple sets of railroad tracks, shifted to second and leaned left. Something felt wrong with the rear tire, like it slid/skidded, or hung somehow. I tried to brake, and of course, the bike stood up and I looked forward, locked up the brakes, and went down on the left side. Couple drivers came over and helped me pick it up, and pushed it over to the side of the road. There was fuel coming out of it as it lay on the ground, but stopped when I picked it up.
Windshield is in several pieces, home built highway pegs are bent back pretty bad. My left knee is sore, and I don't think it has stopped swelling yet. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't hurt as bad as it will tomorrow, but nothing (on me) is broken. Doc started right up and I rode him home, but you better believe I was careful on the corners!
Got home and my super wife helped me ice my knee down for a while. Then I got up and went out and took off all the broken or bent parts. We'll see how I feel tomorrow.
