i hit the tail last night on a tank wheelie. the best thing bout it is it's on my new bike all painted up and cherry. got about an hour on it. everything is mint except for the tail cone. 
Look out for big trucks!!

I don't ride anymore but when I learned there was no 12 bar, no crash cage, huge sprockets, or even parking lot riding. I still remember the sound of hitting the license plate on my stock 900rr on the street.

Re: how many of you have scraped tail??
My very first little tap on the 929 was no bar.....later, after i got the f4i, i went bar-less for awhile,scraped lots of spreaders, a couple hc's and some SS's, then decided i wanted a bar, and never looked back.

"as long as i dont break it" haha.. never returned a bike with an untouched tail yet... hahaha..
