Default Well I dropped the bike this morning.

I just got done with my MSF course this weekend... and apperntly I thought I was still riding one of those minibikes. I came into work, and then tried to make a tight sweeping turn into a parking spot. Next thing I knew the bike was going down in slow-mo. I basically guided it down. Then my 140lb body was left to pick it up. I picked it up, but then ended up getting it too far, and it started going down on the other side. Insult to injury. Glad I had those big rigid saddle bags. Can't see any damage on the bike outside of some minor scratching on the handlebar caps.

Stupid, stupid, stupid... At least I know how big this bike is now.


Figured I'd share. Seems like my confidence is hurt more than the bike.
