glad that you are ok. At least you did not armor-all your tires and seat! lol
What the heck is that supposed to mean?
hahaha, A total newb will clean the tires and the seat with armor-all. Armorall'd tires and seat are as slick as oil spots. Was mentioning that glad that was not the case for our new member.

I am sooo scetched out now about leaning thebike over and putting trust in the tires. I ran some sand paper over the tires when i got it home. The whole way home i did not lean the thing over at all.

hey man i went down just about the same way. its crazy how such a little fall can effect your mine so much. my advice dont rush it slowly get back into leaning the bike over. just try to relax and enjoy the bike. i was goin about 10 mph and my back tire did the same thing i wasnt doin anything stupid or nothin just bad luck. there i went. just be careful and youll get back into it. the tires will be fine but you wont believe that at first but youll get back into and youll be fine. as my buddy vic told me when i went down you have TGS. Top Gun Syndrome.
