Default i got baptized tonight!

i got my bike exactly a month ago and i couldnt be happier, no mishaps whatsoever. tonight, my friends and this girl i like decided to go chill at the local starbucks.. of course,i went there on my f3.the ride was very smooth and boy was it fun.. then disaster. as i was parking the bike, i thought i put the kickstand down and guess what, I DID NOT. and down with the bike i went, in front of my buddies and the girl. the aftermath: broken windshield. and a badly bruised ego. hahaha ive never fallen before and i just had to do it in front of everyone... my take home lesson, well, PUT THE FREAKIN KICKSTAND DOWN.

It's a good thing you broke the fall for the bike, have seen a lot more damage from the same type fall.[sm=oopssign.gif]

Don't sweat it, it can happen to anyone. Since you have to get a new windscreen, check out the DoubleBubble screens from Zero Gravity. They look great and provide a little more protection when you're "tucked".
