I went down today on the way to the Duc meet..

[Vindingo]

sucks that you went down,  it happends to most of us!

I remember you saying that this was your first bike, have you taken the MSF?  It could help you avoid some costly endevours in the future.  If you have already, then just get back on that horse and dont be skerd... take it slow and build your confidence back up.

Sorry to hear, but glad you're ok. 

You can borrow my Prius if you need.

Hey Lito,
It was nice meeting you yesterday - really sorry to hear about the crash but great to hear that you weren't hurt!  The bike can always be fixed!

[duqette]

Ow! Glad to hear you're largely OK!

I find that I need to keep my shoulders and arms nice and loose and relaxed, otherwise any little bump or turn will accidentally send me jetting into warp 9. It's hard to do; I have to remind myself all the time...

Heal up and get back up!  [moto]

[Desmostro]

Sorry to hear it man. Glad you’re ok and made it out anyway. You were awfully cheery when we met. Best way to brush it off. 

Riding I have found is collecting a LOT of knowledge. Its all about the details. The more you can learn the better time you’ll have.

One lesson: falling down and getting back up again   √ CHECK√  done.

I hope the rest of your lessons are having fun, in a book and or riding classes.     [moto]

So when can the mocking begin?

You all made me feel better  Thanks to all.
Brought the bike to ACE Motorsport this morning.
The bike will be up and running plus a few more CF stuff by this weekend.
I added CF front mudguard and CF center tank covers.
So after $2,000 worth of repairs and about $800 of accessories.
My baby will come back strong and beautiful. 

regards,
Lito

Not trying to sound like a jerk here, but wouldn't the $800 spent on bling be better used to get proper gear and take some additional instructional courses? Z2 does a "Road Rider 2.0" course. It's aimed at new riders who are looking to improve their day to day real world riding skills.

As proven by your spill, the Z2 RR2.0 course may have provided the knowledge to have avoided your mishap.

Carbon bits and shiny things won't make you a better/safer rider.

Just a suggestion.

I already have MSF class this weekend. Thanks for the offer.

Just FYI, MSF is great only if you're going to never exceed 15 mph and stay in parking lots that don't have and obstacles larger then a 4" cone.

As Dan suggested, after your MSF look into the RoadRider course. They have one this weekend in Reno and the following weekend at T-Hill (willow, ca).

...and don't forget our wheelie clinics. The perfect example of how you shouldn't behave   

[Juan]

     Sorry to hear this, however glad you are fine... !! some how @&$# like this happens, fortunately you are ok and the bike can be fix.

I'd say MSF is a good thing...for starters. But Dan's got a point about spending on good gear: I know we love shiny bits...the bug has hit us all. But make sure you're well-equipped (and well-insured) before you start with the bling. This ain't rock & Roll: safety comes before beauty.

BTW - The Dainese Store in San Francisco offers a discount for recent MSF grads. Contact DaineseDan or BikerGoddess on the board for details.

That's a pretty good deal, kudos to DaineseDan and Dainese SF for setting up such an offer for those just starting in the MC world.

I'll look to enrolling on the rider 2.0  .
I sure want to have all the tools that can help me to be a good rider.
Have start somewhere, Thanks!
