i was waiting for the gate to open and my shorts were not pulled up all the way and when i tried to put my feet flat on the floor my shorts wouldnt let my legs stretch all the way (does that make sense??) and the bike just tilted a bit to the right and i couldnt hold it up i guess...Comment

and yes, first bike...Comment

Next time don't wear shorts, or anyother clothing that makes to so your leg can't strech all the way.. And NEVER make the same mistake twice.

I agree. Also, PM Braunstein for some sliders. They are cheap and can save you lots of money and aggrivation. Check out my gallery for what they look like.

That's really not an excuse. Not trying to give you a hard time man, just some tough love.
Never assume anything on a motorcycle. Riding a bike is always a risk, whether you drive 1 mile, or 10,000.
Anything that can happen, will happen. It just depends on your gear how much of your flesh remains on the road, and how much of it you get to keep. When I go gas up at my corner station, I put on my gloves, jeans, helmet and my leather jacket. And I don't care if it's 100'F out.

If I have to go to the beach or something, I wear my shorts under my jeans, or take a change of clothes in a backpack and change there.
If this is your first bike, i would certainly recommend frame sliders from Braunstein. Heck, this is isn't my first bike and I still dropped it in the lot once. Lucky I had frame sliders
