Hey, don't feel bad. I dropped my brand new Iron after 4 miles. Same deal, I was looking where I was going, not where I wanted to go. Once I patched me and my bike up, I was back out in about an hour.

Enjoy the hell out of it.

We've all dropped 'em one time or another. Get right back on and keep riding. Get some time on that seat and you'll feel more and more comfortable. Enjoy and ride safe!
