[Beowulf]

A month or so ago I had one of those days where dropping the bike was a bit too familiar of an experience. The fourth and last drop was at a bit of speed coming up out of a wash; I failed to turn fast enough and ploughed into a dirt bank, maybe 5 mph. Thank God for good riding buddies that help lift napping bikes, repeatedly, in 105 deg. weather. (@Garnett !)

The Heed bars continued to do their job, but the left side got pushed in about 1/2" (~13mm?). Barkbusters were a good thing, as well.

We must have symmetry, so the pics below:

I trust that you're applying pull so as to minimize stress on the machine frame.....and don't pull the roof down! 😄
