Had a little situation a couple of days ago. Pulling onto our deck, to put it away.
The front tire slipped out from the wet grass and down she went. I was only at crawling speed.
The only damage to the bike is a little scratch on the good side fairing. :(
However, the open clutch gave me a good beating, as it was hitting my leg. Felt like a baseball bat smacking it, while I tried to get it turned off.
The photos are from today, but it happened on Wednesday night. It was like a softball a hard as a rock that night.
Will be fab'n up a new clutch cover now.

Sorry to hear. Looks like a lot of swelling. Was the clutch completely open?
That looks like the beginnings of a fantastic tattoo.
ooooooowch!
Hope it heals up OK. You should get a cool scar to impress the chicks with [thumbsup].
be sure and post up the new clutch cover.

Just wanted to let people know that in the off chance that your not vertical, it'll hurt like hell beaten against your leg. ;)
You`re one lucky dude, could have ripped open the skin :o
I don't know about lucky, but I was glad that my work pants were tough enough not to rip
Good thing you didn't fall straddling that with your crotch.
