Well... he did it.... he dropped it at a light.
Scratched up the right side, and cracked the fairing. Also he bent the front brake lever and broke the right mirror as well.

No frame sliders...


At least he was at a stop

That didn't take long. With a liter bike, he's just damn lucky he didn't do something real stupid, like anything involving a new rider and a throttle on a 160hp bike...

Damn, I just knew something stupid was going to happen. The only good part was this lesson was low speed.

You need a lighter, used bike to learn on. This stupid shit happens and it doesn't cost a million dollars to fix something used.

I guess this where I had a definite advantage learning to ride in the dirt. If you didn't crash, you weren't pushing hard enough. A couple hundred pound dirtbike is easier to handle when you wash the front end too.

Well... he did it... He bought a new bike today... But this time smaller bike...

Triumph Daytona 675... black n gold....
I took it out for a ride, Boooya!

I had never ridden one before... very nice; too bad he will be riding it, I hope he doesnt mess this one up. (the gixxer is in his garage)

Jealous or not, I wish I had the financial ability to buy a new liter bike, drop it, and then pick up a new 675.

I'd have the Buell and a pimped cruiser in the garage...
