Been there, done that! But not as bad.

Yeah while drying my rig off today I had it running for a few minutes and reached in to dry off the front mud flap and scraped the top of my hand against the header. It's not pretty and I'm not looking forward to how it's going to look in a couple days

That's the reason I wear jeans when riding. A few years ago I touched the exhaust of my HD with my leg, touched it long enough to smell someone cooking pork!

Next time, try roasting both wrists. If one gets toasted more than the other, then it's probably time to resynch your carbs.
