not for nothing but it didn't look as though you had much gear on. you should invest in some padding. elbow,shin,chest protector and a kidney belt. ya know stuff like that. i even wear some football compression shorts that have the pockets for the thigh and hip pads in them. go over the bars and wack a thigh on a them and it'll hurt for more than a night.

I've laid mine over a few times in the month Iand a half 've had it... mostly do to it being my first motorcycle. Very first day on it, 47 miles on the clock, I killed it turning around, snapped my clutch lever. 400 miles later, 15 mph sand-on-conrete turn = scraping up my Tusk D-Flex handguards THE VERY DAY I put them on the bike.

Few times I gignerly set it on its side when I got dug into sand and couldn't push myself back up right, and one time off-camber on some singletrack I lost all momentum, so I just launched myself off the pegs and let it fall over HAHA

I gotta say, its a tough little bike, putting up with a noob-tard like me.

Don't feel bad I dropped mine in under an hour of owning it. I wasn't used to the brakes and accidentily locked up the front on dirt around a corner. I blame it on my now sold 85 XR200 the brakes sucked I was so used to just grabbing a hand full. Otherwise I take full responsibility for my mistakes. Fresh knobbies and driveway antics dropped it. Tried to drive over a pile of wet logs droped it and stressed the plastic. Attempt at a wheelie stood it straight up and fell off, bent the bars/shifter, skuffed the F/R/L fender rear blinker and licence plate broke the lic. light twisted the forks in the trees and put a hole in the case with the shifter. Yeah that was a bad day but I feel better knowing that my friends have battle scars on their bikes.
