Dropped the bike....f@#K

[Foghorn]

Got an attack of the dumb arse disease today, dropped (2nd time in 30 years) my Gixxer when taking it off the rear Anderson Stand this morning.

The good news: Zero damage apart from tiny scrape on front leading edge of the Yoshi, the crash knobbs did come in handy "I needed them"

Had the bike back up in 30 seconds, I have gone right over it, checked all the fluids, checked fluid leaks or bleeds, checked the electrics, fairing pins.
I let it settle down then rode it, just got this nagging feeling that it feels a little spongy. Had the front and back done by Teknik last week, and it felt brilliant at OP on Saturday. Also checked the tyre pressure which is spot on.

Am I imagining things or should re-adjust !!

Youv'e got a case of 'dropped bike never feels the same'.

It's in your head mate.

[Foghorn]

Mate, we haven't met, but I have being following your recovery progress, glad to know will get out on friday, thanks for the input. Look forward to meeting you at the track in the future.
Cheers
Michael
