First Low-Side
I feel pretty silly. I went out in McKinney yesterday to ride twisties with my mom. She's got a Yamaha V-Star 650 and she was just up for tooling around, but I wanted to tear up the twisties. So on a 10-mile run, I finished about 3 minutes before she did, and it turns out she was really moving. Met some guy who wanted riding buddies, talked for a bit, and left. Turned right, turned right again, low-sided. The concrete looked perfectly clean, but I went back and it was dusty as hell. I was probably going about 30 when I went down, because I slid for a good 20 feet. Fortunately, I went down on the right side, and the right side of my bike is already messed up. It didn't cause any new damage at all - just wore the frame sliders down further. And, I had my jacket on, so while it's rashed up, I don't care, because I came out relatively clean. Still pretty awkward though - we hit Sonic on the way home and my mom is telling my friends that I went down right in front of her. At least shes not one of those stupid moms that would try to coerce me to sell my bike or some crap.
