Default Whut is up, from a newby?

Hello all just ran across this forum and thought I'd sign up. Anyway I grew up riding dirtbikes and a while back figured I wanted a street bike. I saw a 91 gixxer and decided to pick it up. It's a nice cruiser, seems to run pretty sweet. I was reading through some post and alot of it was "it's just a matter of time before you lay your bike down." Well I've layed plenty of bikes down but it was always on dirt, I bet the pavement hurts way more.
