Default AH! Layed it down for the first time!

So, you know how it is, COLD new tires, wanting to get home, and you go to crank up your 105hp a little too quickly.... basicly, I pulled out onto a residental street, spun and went down... scratched my newly painted rear tail fairing! Bummer! Should be an easy fix though, just thought I would share the stupidity![:@]

I feel your pain bro!! I did the same thing 3 months ago. Take a look what what it looked like



$1900 worth of damage. Hang in there. And, hopefully, you've got full coverage on it. I did, and, repairing my bike didn't cost me a cent.

dude don't feel so bad. it happens to everyone. they say you are not a true rider until you fall. If it makes you feel any better, I dropped my bike not moving. I was stopped, got nervous for some reason that i cant remember and just dropped my bike. talk about embarrasment!
