dirty nasty · July 28th, 2012, 08:56 PM

I've dropped my first bike, a 1982 CB450T PLENTY of times while moving it around the yard. Only damages ever sustained were broken off bar end mirrors, which I didn't mind too much because they were $5 for a pair. I'm glad it was with this bike I learned even something simple as pushing it across the yard requires paying attention and thought.

I've never dropped my Ninja. The previous owner(s) did though. Levers had the ends broken off, some scrapes on my plastics, scrapes on the bar ends and missing front signals told the tale. Now the only evidence left is the scraped plastics (which isn't obviously visible) and scraped bar ends.

I've still got lots of time ahead of me though. I'm sure I will someday.
