That mentality is what keeps lots of people alive on bikes...

and I'm still alive. I laid the bike down once, and it's actually a very embarrassing story. No high speeds, actually hardly moving at all. Walking speed actually, literally, walking the bike to turn it around. I lost my left footing and it fell. I thank God for the frame sliders, because the left frame slider is scratched, and the bottom of my transmission case is nicked. My fairing is fine, my clutch lever and foot pegs are all intact. The bike is untouched in every spot but those two.

That's my embarrassing story.

It's never a matter of IF, it's a matter of WHEN someone is going to drop their bike...

I know more people that have either dropped or dumped their bike in a parking lot or their driveways/garages than I do people on the roads. And to elaborate on that, most people drop them by forgetting to put down the kickstands--at least amongst the people that I know...

My skill has improved severely, although I know I'm not invincible. I'm still loving every minute of it though.

Youll love the twisties in southern Ohio.

Any updates on the bike? Liking it? Future plans?
