So when you find an empty parking lot to practice in...
...make sure you find one without berms.
Yeah, I hit a parking berm and toppled while practicing U-turns the other day. Some scraped fairings and a couple major cracks on the right front fairing. Flooded the carbs (causing a few minutes of panic when the bike wouldn't start until I figured out what was wrong), but no non-cosmetic damage other than that. Everything's still running fine, and I'm keeping the scarred fairings as a reminder of humility.
