Yea I layed it over about 2 hours ago LOL. I felt fine coming into the DQ after about 100 miles of riding, but as I turned sharp into the parking spot @ < 1MPH with both feet on/near the ground, I guess my ballence was off and by the time I realized I was leaning it was too late and I couldnt stop it. Bike layed over VERY VERY slow and while going down I was sortof out of it...got a bit light headed and everything is like a blur. I seriously thought it was a dream
I either got dehidrated (sp) or was oxygen depribed I guess...and didnt even relize my ballence was off. I honestly still dont feel right and my leg is hurting from trying to hold the bike up/letting it down easy. Fortunatly a friend of mine and my dad were there (all riding togethor) and they got the bike up while I was picking myself up off the ground LOL.
Fortunatly I let it down so slow that the fairing is 100% ok - a few little scratches...and most of those nicks are in the decals. Little scrape on the edge of the exhaust pipe, mirror was a little roughed up, and the front break has a scratch on it. Its not too bad really, but im not going to fix it until I have more seat time as its not bad enough to really bother me (that much). Freegin cats really put more noticable scratches on my tank (2). Anywho Ill probably buy some pegs now lol, if I had bought those the bike would have been untouched. I may also buy some touchup pait tomorrow.
But for the bike having over 700 miles on it, and for being the VERY first bike over 70CCs that I have ridden by myself, thats pretty good and im not sweating it too bad. Like everyone says, its just a matter of time....but sucks that it happened because I got a little weird feeling
. I just thank God that it didnt crack the fairing or break anything

. But honestly we cant do anything...i have been waiting on my supplier from Sanantonio to ship me my darn header flanges for a month now
. But their suppliers laser jet went out, last I heard....and they were supposed to get them and ship them last week. Ill call them again tomorrow.
) and the bike is fine. Just be careful man, all it takes is one minor mistake.
Dang man, be careful on that thing.
