Ever done something as a newbie to the sport that you laugh at now? I'll share (one of) mine... When I first got my bike I used Armor-All on the tires, like you would on a car for that wet look. :bonk: EDIT: It was only on the sides, but some made it onto the edge of the riding surface.

That's pretty bad man... :rofl: I went out riding for a couple hours, came back and when I was in my driveway I decided I'd head back out. . so I started to turn around, brain farted and didn't counter balance, and dropped it. I caught it w/ my right leg, but my legs were jello from being on the bike so long I couldn't hold it up. The only real damage was a tear to one of my vinyl logos. Luckily nobody saw that. lol

Mine is pretty close to shan's, only I didnt put it on my tires,....I put it on my seat and handle grips... :shock: :smilelol: ..lets just say I learned my lesson when I sat down on the seat about an hour later and slid right off to the ground.. :lol: thankfully the bike was on the side stand, so it was only my pride that got hurt.
