Fair enough but tbh not really all that concerned just wanted something decent on insurance and under $10k

Ah yes if the bike falls I’ll just catch it in the palm of my gigantic handsThe real plus side is @Canuckles is 7 foot 5, with a 40" inseam. He could probably still save the bike as it's falling past the 60 degree mark just by squeezing his knees together real tight.
Sorry, did that come out as bitter jealousy...?

Also trust you didn’t come across like a dick it’s a valid point I just figure I’ll likely drop a bike at some point so why worry about it happening on this bike or another

The one good thing is I’m mostly a “I’ll cross that bridge when I get there” person so not too much stress right now I’m just looking forward to getting seat time in. I’ll do my best to treat this bike right but in the end what is meant to happen will happen

I don’t get why it’s always right after a successfully completed long drive something goes down, went 300km to my sisters house 300km home no problems the night I get home I total my car 5 mins from my house picking up my friend from work
Cool bro.. good luck... will you be doing anything to it?

Not at first gonna take it nice and easy since it’s my first bike
since we are all sharing bike drop moments... i will let you guys in on what happened to my brand new bike last year...
Hello from Scarboro
I just bought my first bike and I had the same anxiety about going out on the road. Like you, I've been driving a car for 20+ years. Might be different for you but the reason I was so worried is that I kept thinking that there are going to be a million different things I'll have to track and...

ok.. hit me up if you are ever tinkering with the bike...
I put up
1) Quad Lock Mag Safe mount
2) Slip on exhaust
3) ST2 Blinking Brake Lights
4) Tyga Tail tidy
can show you how I did it... if you ever want...
I pulled that stunt at a gas station and had to buy new glass for the pump.
Nah I probably did. 8K just sounded like a lot for a bike you might shortly grow out of. (and maybe drop)
Regardless you have it now. Time to start riding the wheels off it. If you're out London way I'm always up for a jaunt.
Meh, dropping a bike happens.
I dropped my new $25k bike when unloading it from a trailer over the winter. Smashed the left mirror and broke the bracket on the bars that the mirror screws into.
Luckily I had just got the crash bars installed and I had the bags on the bike so no other damage.
Replaced the broken bits and it's as good as new.

I get it. Most of my bikes have had a little lay down at one point. The killer more times than I can count.Meh, dropping a bike happens.

I’d like to meet the guy that has not dropped a bike at one point . I’m sure they exist, I’ve never met them

That's the killers happy place. Just having a nice nap in the mud like a pig. Ready to get back up and continue on when forced to.

Sounds like a plan and honestly ya I might outgrow it but for now it’s gonna be my baby. I’m not really a high speeds guy ya I get up there occasionally but honestly I don’t see myself outgrowing this bike for at least a few years until my insurance drops

You dropped the bike on that full size trailer ramp?? I thought doubled up 2x10 was a tad risky when unloading my GS850G from U-haul pick up truck.Meh, dropping a bike happens.
