Well, I soldered up and installed bubmrtn's LED taillight board into place (which looks totally AWESOME, even without a clear lens) and I popped the bike back onto the sidestand to park it. As a last minute thought, I said "hey, I should check the tire pressure while I'm at it." The rear valve was hidden under the chain and calipers so I needed to roll the bike forward a few feet to get the valve in view. I was on the right side of the bike, so I pulled it toward me to move it.
BAD IDEA :bitchslap
As soon as I moved about 6 inches, the kickstand went up and the bike took a dive away from me with a sickening crunch (I actually ended up on top of her trying to save her from her doom.) Thankfully, the frame sliders saved me from any major damage. The left mirror and mirror arm broke off at the frame and there's a small scuff on the bottom of the crankcase cover. Does anyone know how much it costs to replace a mirror?
Lesson learned: Never ever move the bike from the right side. EVER. :bitchslap
