I did a 880 km day trip to the Pyrenees mountains yesterday. The day started well, beautiful weather and not too hot. I always get excited when I first see the snow covered mountains in the horizon.

On the way back on the French side of the mountains I decided to stop for some photos of the Panigale in the snow. Parked the bike and while I was setting my mobile phone camera a gust of wind threw my beautiful bike on its side.

The damage:

- scratched side panel
- broken brake lever
- clutch cover scratches

I have never dropped any of my bikes. So when I now did it for the first time I had to do it with the Panigale:mad:

I will be now more careful when parking the bike. Any advise how to fix the paint damage, the scratches are not deep, just surface damage?

Damn, that sucks! Looks like it will need a repaint. Or check ebay for one. See which one is cheaper. As for the clutch cover and brake lever, get some nice aftermarket ones!
