Default Lowsided this morning :(

I lowsided while leaving my neighborhood for work this morning. Cold tires + light gravel = . I'm ok, but the bike wouldn't start when I picked it up, or walked it back to the house (only like 3 blocks away). Came away with a somewhat shaved frame slider, broken clutch lever, bent left rearset, and light rash on the sleeve of my jacket. Thank God for sliders and gear.

Yeah, more hurt pride than anything else. Most likely, I can bend the rearset back. It's only tweaked a little. Looks like I'm in the market for some Pazzo's or CRGs lol.

Cold tires and gravel sucks, glad you're alright though.

Ride safe all.

glad you were not hurt. that is odd that it would not start. usually once you stand them back up and cycle the key the bank angle sensor resets.

I may have flooded it, as I tried to start it a few times when I stood it up.

Yeah, I did when i got back to the house and tried starting it again. I heard the fuel pump click rapidly for about 5secs.
