Re: low speed crash sequence :) (figment)
These ar some good pics for all the people new to motorcycling....
This WILL happen to you at least once, (You'll come to a stoplight and put your foot down, most likely in some oil or a big pot hole) Next thing you know you'll be lying underneath you bike with ths girls in lane next to you laughing and some pretty nice scratches left on you fairings....
thats why I say to beginners, Stay away from bikes with plastic, or at least take the plastic off for the first few months. Sure it won't look "cool" but it'll save you some money.
oh yeah.....Funny pics though.

Agree 90%. A standard bike is best for newbies. I think an experienced rider WILL drop a bike, especially a SB from time to time. especially:
IF YOU DON"T HAVE YOUR FEET DOWN (OFF THE PEGS) AT LOW SPEED, CHANCES ARE GOOD YOU WILL LOSE IT IF THE BIKE LEANS MORE THAN 10%.
Something about that irresistable force called gravity
and high footpegs at low speed. -Figment, who has been in the situation described above.

I wish more people would give such great advice like all of you! I am learning all I can before I go out and just buy and bike for the hell of it.
