Red face Lucky rider right here.

I can say something is on my side. I've probably dropped my bike about 6 times in 5 months and no real injuries to report except my ego, a little. Thanks to my Shogun sliders, little damage but some scratches has occurred on the fairing on the top edges and some road rash the one time I didn't have the jacket. Gravel, curvy road (thankfully it was on the side of the road with over a foot of overgrown grass that felt like I landed on a pillow.) Rainy road at night, only time I had some scratches the one time I didn't have my jacket on. And a couple times tipping it over. Looked brand new with less than 8k, but it's not like the resell value really drops a significant amount anyway.

The worst part, the pegs have about had it. Are the carbon fiber ones worth it compared to the plastic? I don't plan on stopping as I learned from these mistakes and need to pay more attention to what I am doing.
