  • I dropped her.

    Well today was the day I dropped my bike. After putting on some new spark plugs and going for a hour ride, I can home and park the bike. About an hour later I went for another ride, I was dark and I have never rode at night. So I take off, ride for like 30 minutes and I decide to go back home. Coming into the driveway I'm coming in faster than usual and I get to close my car. I grab a hand full of front brakes with the handle bar all the way to the left and down we go, it went down gently and in slow motion. As fast as it went down it came back up, I was embarrassed
    so I just pushed her right up. I know how to do it with my back to it, but I just macho her right up. Which was a bad idea, man she is heavy. No one saw me go down I even took a look inside the house to see if someone saw me but no, no one was there.

    I know everyone most go through this but, man is it funny to me now.

    She is okay only a scrach on the Suzuki cover but it already had some there.

        And use the rear brake . When you use the front in a situation like that , the bike WILL go down . Like in parking lots and such with your wheel turned . Yeah , it happens .

            Coming in too fast for a turn that's optional? Go straight, skip the turn into the drive way, overshoot and come back.

                beware the gravel and sand! heh

                Besides always wearing a helmet, that is the first advice i gave my pal who just started riding.
