Default Little Boo-Boo!

Tried to look cool the other day by letting my legs dangle as I pulled off through a major intersection. I kept both legs out while leaning my torso down on the tank (you bikers know what I mean). Although the cars were slow, I pulled off purposely late behind the cage in front of me. Well, the bump I hit going through the intersection caused my right leg to kindly touch against my exhaust pipe , ohhh-hhh maaa-maaaah! I wobbled more at that point than I did when I first started riding. Think I gave the cages a little somethin' to laugh at during lunch hour .

Got me a 3"x3" burn patch on the inside of my lower right leg just above where my short socks stopped & below where my jeans ended. I believe a little Neosporin can take care of my first warmark .
