Rain+cold tires+cold engine+accleration+braking+spectators = humility.
Yup, dropped the bike today after "attempting" to head out after meeting some friends. Can't really say what happened other then conditions and rider error. When to throttle up and the carbs choked out, gave it a bit more throttle and they kicked in. Slight panic and braking and the front end slid out.
Minor damage, minty left fairings no longer minty. Clutch cover, I didn't like the word Suzuki on there anyways. Bar end and clutch lever have slight scratches. Oh....and my ego....or what once was my ego.
Did I mention this was in the parking lot?
At least my first time was gentle.

Good judgement comes from experience, and often experience comes from Bad Judgement :smt084
