Good thing I got it this weekend
today I kinda wrecked my bike . not to much damage,
so I rode it back home.
I missed a expected turn. It was a sharp turn and I was going a little faster than I should have been going.( posted 30mph me 40mph I just could not get it to make the turn so I chickened out at the last sec about 1 foot from the grass so I straitened the wheel and tried to slow down some but it got too squirrelly in the grass and there was a ditch coming up fast so rather than jumping a 5 foot ditch I chose to lay it down, not to hard and in the grass but I am still a little sore.
I dug quit the ditch with the bike and it took a while to clean all the mud from around the bike I have had much worse crashes snow boarding.
So all in all not to bad for my first crash.
any crash you can ride away from is a good one.:)
I knew better than to take the turn so fast but was not paying attention how fast it came up.
It was a ramp getting on the express way.

I found walking the bike up some what harder in slippery mud. But I got it up just the same I was more embarrassed and pissed than hurt .
Guess that is a good thing.

My mirror was slightly bent, the light assembly was slightly crooked, and the gages were slightly crooked.
I guess I can say my bike was slightly crooked.
I got most of it back strait before this message.
Still need slight adjustment but It needed that before the wreck.
Maybe now I will wake up :D
