Blond Moments

It was actually very recent. I have been used to riding my R6 and other sportbikes with single sided exhausts. The second day I had my VF, I came in from a ride and threw down the kickstand. When I put my left foot down, I leaned the bike to the left and bent down to look at the right side of the motor, forgetting that the VF has dual exhausts that exit about calf level. As I leaned farther, the can pressed right into the the inside of my leg. It cooked my skin about the size of 2 golf balls. It has been 3 weeks now and it is just starting to lose color and soften back up....
