Glad you didn't break off the mirror, signal, etc. You can order replacement decals...

Dang man sorry to hear that! =( I've almost done that a few times, luckily I'm a pretty big guy so I just put a foot down and I'm good.

I HATE SLOW U-TURNS!!! [:@]

I know it sounds like a drag, but you may want to go to an empty parking lot and practice your slow turns and u-turns. It may take up an afternoon, but that is cheaper than replacing parts.

That's actually not a bad idea at all. I recently started riding with a passenger (my girlfriend) and we took a solid day just in a parking lot first where I practiced riding with her - it wouldn't hurt to go back and practice some more. Maybe next week I'll head out for some slow U-turn practice... but all the cool kids are gonna make fun of me! ;-)

i have the same kind of scratch on my red F4i. i used a red sharpie and you cant notice it unless your nose is right on it. the onlybad things is the sharpie tends to come off after washing it or rubbing it with my leg but just pull the sharpie back out and do it again.

Dude, it happens. Don't worry about it. I dropped mine on the side in the second week of ownership doing a slow take off. Lost my balance and added the first scratches to an otherwise flawless bike. I think they add character.
