KLR650a15- after much offroading in the TX hill country I finally got thrown. I climbed a steep hill and then was covering a very rough section with a lot of cinders(best descrition I could come up with)I bounced over one sharp mound and landed at the wrong angle.Got thrown like I was on a wild bronco. I started falling downhill from the bike so I bailed.Narrowly missed having it land on my right leg and got a good bone bruise on the left shin where I caught the gas tank as I dove off the right side.The bike survived intact. It now has official battle scars.The right radiator shroud,front fender,& brake lever cover look like you ran a cheese grater across them.So it's officially broken in.

Congratulations! Now go get a bottle of Zymol and wax that baby, so you don't have scratches, but pretty, shiny scratches.
