I crashed the bike :(
I know not all of you who follow me here follow my motorcycle blog, but this one kinda affects both: I registered and insured the bike on Thursday, and I managed to crash the bike. I low-sided going through a corner too fast when I tried to brake, stupidly. My left knee is sore and hurty right now since I got a little patch of road rash, and jeans pull against it and make it hurt. I've also got a bunch of bruises, but my gear did its job and protected me the way it was supposed to.
So now, instead of buying upgrades for the bike, I get to spend the next crap-ton of money I get on fixing the bike, and buying new motorcycle pants, before I can do anything else.
But you know what? Even the fact that I crashed the bike doesn't make me want to ride it any less. Mmmmm, bike.
(So yeah - the two important, noteworthy things in my life right now are girlfriend and bike. Both make me vera happy. Even though one of them has proven to be slightly dangerous and expensive.)
