Holy smoke Batman !  That is my biggest nightmare.  I am sure nothing I can
say would make you feel any better.

**Yup, I dropped the ST today, at 655 miles.  Fuck.
**
**Hit a small patch of gravel in the middle of the driveway going
**into the shopping center and the front shot out from under me.
**I was going 5, maybe 10, miles per hour, and just plain fucking
**fell over.  Slid all of three feet.  Scuffed both RHS body panels,
**bent the rear brake pedal, and put a bit of road rash on RHS
**mirror body, front brake handle, bar end, rider peg, and can.
**At least I had not yet gone to the replacement can.  No damage
**to tank, seat, seat bodywork, lower fairing piece.  Just ordered
**RHS body panel, RHS headlight nacelle half, and brake pedal from
**my friendly neighborhood Triumph dealer.  I will advise the list
**about what I hear back on availability.
**
**Also wiped out some safety equipment: tore jacket, and scuffed
**RH glove and boot.  Jeans held up.  Helmet never hit the ground.
**
**As for me, I got a small case of road rash on RH forearm and knee,
**and a big bruise on my RH thigh where my car keys got between me
**and the pavement.  Been hurt worse on a bicycle.
**
**My wife wanted to know if I should go to the hospital.  I said,
**No, they can't do anything for terminal embarassment.
**
**Fuck, fuck, fuck.
