bah droped bike for the first time!
well i had my girl on da back...forgot about the extra weight..i launched it on greenlight, and before i know it the front wheel was up in the air saying hello to the moon..and i was saying hello to the bike landing on my knee and digging it into the road..knee was only thing that got hurt(was wearin gear). my girl just sort of got through off and landed alright(wasnt going fast at all). But now my bike is in da shop for stupid lil things. (front turn signal and transmission peg peice broke off). But i think my fork thingy for my handlebar- front tire is off. They are taking it apart on monday to see what is up. I guess for my first drop nothing bad really happen. made me learn my lesson about not launching it as fast as i normally do when someone is on da back. And only a lil peice got scratched up..and i wanna fix it up like brand new..any suggestions. only went through clear coat.

Ya you probably should have rode a little longer before going two up, you shoulda just chopped the throttle and let engine braking bring it on down.g;ad you are alright always wear your gear...

Re: bah droped bike for the first time!
trying to color match factory bike paint is a nightmare. there's no color codes because new plastic comes pre-painted.
at such a slow speed, i doubt you bent anything on the front end, probably just needs to be put straight, alot of times a fork will slip ever-so-slightly in the triple trees, and it'll throw the front end off a bit.

Be more careful with a passenger. I know mistakes happen, but I know if I did something like that with my girl on the back of it, she'd never want to ride again.
