Went down today for the first time with my CBR. Happened faster than I can remember. Bam I was on the pavement sliding. 100% my fault and I feel so stupid about it, want to punch holes in walls. I was waiting for the old saying 'Its not if, its when...you go down' and I guess today was my lucky day. The irony of it all was I was taking the bike to show it as its for sale, luckily the buyer still wants to purchase it but I cut the price 1k. Was wearing jacket and gloves but my glove torn open and my jacket rode up and let some rash creep onto the side of my stomach, no major injuries just a broken ego.

I feel like absolute ****, i'm gonna go have a beer

Bike was a 2009 CBR600 Phoenix with 3700 miles

Care to share how it happened? Loose gravel/rocks? Angle too low?

it was actually my fault for not checking my tire pressures before riding the bike after having it stored for a couple months. stupid mistakes take lives!
