Perhaps this public humiliation will cause this to be the one and only damage I do to my baby. Right near the end of a wonderful 3-day trek through rural Ardennes regions of Belgium, Germany, and Luxembourg.

Decided on the spur of the moment to hop a 6-inch high sidewalk for a good parking spot for a cup of coffee. SCRAAAAPE

Can't seem to upload a photo of my dented curly bit of my Termi header. Has something like this happened to anyone else, and can this part be simply replaced?

send it out, any reputable pipe shop should be able to fix it for relatively cheap

How was the coffee?

I don't understand why I can't upload the photo. I downsized it to the spec needed...

There's an area about the size of the circle made by joining your thumb and middle finger together (about 3 in2), that is flattened. It is noticeable when on the side-stand.

It would be good if there was a way to fix it via muffler pipe shop. Otherwise, I'll have to order the part (in the hopes that part by itself can be ordered). Otherwise it's gonna be an insurance job

.

I just love this bike.
