Default ...AND DOWN I WENT :(

damn.
just like everyone says. got my bike, got a little overconfident, and i went down in a corner.
i was blowing off steam after work today. perfect day for riding. i was riding on this awesome road with awesome sweeping turns. i came up to a blind left hand turn that i'd taken atleast 10 times before and leaned in. half way through the turn i felt my back wheel slip. it regained traction few feet later which pushed the bike vertical out of the turn. this put me on the shoulder where the bike went down. i flipped off the bike and was uninjured, but all i could think was, "damn...my bike". it's funny how lucky i was and all i was thinking about was my fairing.
anyway, i've learned my limit and to respect the situations a bike can get you in.
with that said, anyone know where to get a 2002 f4i fairing (lower front left, red and black) and a new crank casing for cheap? it pains me to look at her all scratched up...

dang sorry to hear man. yep everybody falls sometimes. just take it one step at a time. cant develop very good riding skills just like that. just more practice but dont over do it

oh and dont hink about dumping either. thats the first mistake people make is they look down and think "oh **** im goin gto dump" then BAM!!!
