I work for Intel but AMD makes me hot
My 919 received its first battle scar yesterday. I was parking it at work and put the kick stand down and when I moved my foot it slipped and kicked the stand up and I fell over. I tried to stop it from going over, but it was past the point of no return. The bike fell on me which softened its fall. The only damage to the bike was a small scuff on the bottom of the alternator cover(you can only see it if you get on the ground) and it spun the clutch/mirror/assembly a bit(fixed it last night).

The 919 is 100lbs heavier then my 650, and it was very noticeable when it was falling over on me. One of my coworkers was walking by at the time and helped me pick it up. My only injuries are a pulled back muscle and sore arm from when the bike got lifted.

I haven't decided if I will try to sand the scuff and touch up paint it, I do not think it is worth buying a new cover.
