Steep Grades And Bottoming Out

Left a gas station yesterday that had an abruptly steep grade from the lot to the road.

I came at it at an angle, to compensate, but I STILL whacked the exhaust pipe hard enough to warrant stopping and checking it!

I wasn't going too fast, or recklessly (no reasonably-minded HD owner wants to scuff up his/her bike) so I guess I'll have to re-evaluate my ground clearance!!

There was a little scuff mark on the outside of the bottom of the pipe, but nothing else. "Lesson learned," I guess.
