grats on your gloves.

I had a similar fall a few months ago in October of 2011, thank goodness I had gear on too. Funny thing I have found is that I now am less worried about going down than before, like a boxer takeing his first hard punch and realizing he can take it.

Sounds like your doing good!

Truth be told.... not all the "gear" in the world is going to make you a better rider. Riding is basically the "school of hard knocks". You learn from your mistakes...if you're one of the "lucky ones"......and if you don't learn from them, you'll make them again, and hence, more protective gear so you can do it again.....and again, unfortunately. Don't ask me how I know.
Truth be told.... I pray to a non-denomiational God when I get on my bike for a safe return home, and I seriously say "Thank you!" when I pull up in my driveway. Even after all the crashes I've been in, I'm still alive.......and I'm about to start another season, but I rather doubt I'll change my regimen......so far so good.

On that note and not to thread jack but who is going to their local blessing of the bikes this year or should we just post one on here

Parts arrived today,stator cover and front turn signals,replaced both cause i wanted the smoked!!She will be up and running in no time!!

[KatanaGSX92]

very cool! It's good to see that you're still excited about riding after you mishap.

[lanerw]

congrats on the new parts. I am envious of the smoked turn signals. Hard to justify the cost right now though.

[ktykat]

I am stoked,everytime I go look at the bike it doesnt look as bad as the time before!!I start the saftey course on the 16th,I can't wait to be a "legal" "safe" driver!!!I learned many lessons over the last week and I'm ready to learn more!!Upright not sliding on the pavement!!

[djdaredevil]

Revelations. I just now realized you were in Farmington. Then I found out your husband rides a ZZR12. My wife and I will be living in Pagosa Springs come June. This makes us neighbors. I look forward to our paths crossing. I ride a ZZR12 also. Bienvenidos! And mend quickly.

[ktykat]

Groovy! My wife doesn't ride bikes, but is into horses. We have a place out in the mountains on the Lower Blanco. Mi casa es tu casa. See you this summer.
