Well Mole, while we are confessing I trucked my bike to Lauderdale Florida a few days back. Pulled the ratchet a bit to hard to loosen a strap and laid it down on the side of the bed of the truck. shifter looked like a pretzel lol. I found a new use for a cresent wrench (straighten out the shifter) lol
The most embarrassing thing is I wasn't even riding it when I dropped it!
Glad you survived bud, gravity sucks.
