went down today
Well the topic sorta summerizes it. I was riding up my mall today and on the road their was construction earlier and they never sweeped it up and gravel+bike= bad. I lost control of the bike and ran into the curb and i went flying and flipping for like 40 feet from where the bike hit the curb. The drivetrsin on the bike is fine but i messed up all the plastic. I also came out ok except for the broken coller bone and the road scratches. But i have gotta fix like 3/4 of the plastic so i was just gonna bike a whole new racing skin for it so does anyone know where i could buy one??

yeah i looked on their and they got some i like but their 300 bucks and their their is another 300 dollar in the shipping fee cuz they all come from hong kong i guess. I'm real glad though that i was able to walk away. Like this was my first every having a full scale motorcycle crash so like i had no idea on if i was gonna like be ok from it.

just remember that their are two types of riders, whose who have gone down, and those who will, so dont feel bad about wrecking! im happy to hear you came out alive and healing up( helmets and gear for the win! ). also glad your bikes repairable.
awhile back i had a lucky to be alive for a first wreck (over pass on the freeway), my bike was a total .Just remember to take iteasyand get used to riding again, i know it felt funny the first timea i through a leg back over!
also be sure to check the bike out well, things like bent forks, tweaked subframecan behard to spot sometimes! check the swingarm for slop as well, and double check most fasteners as a wreck can jar stuff losse!
hope you heal up fast, get the bike rolling again, and most of all, have fun and enjoy life

It's a cliche that *certain people* like to repeat cuz they think they're supposed to.
