welcome another gurly...
Dont worry about the droppage...weve all done it
Picked my bike up on the Friday night, Sunday afternoon I dropped mine trying to move it back whilst sitting on it...lost my footing...bang..! Luckily my boots & foot peg took the main impact...should see how the peg twisted around...
Anyway, point is, we all learn hey, some more expensively than others
Soz to hear about your bloke, but hey ho...everything happens for a reason so enjoy your stay here...good bunch of peeps, some good reading...
Stay safe n enjoy your new bike
Cheers
Kelly
