Default I don't ride like a pro..oops!
Soooooo, it finally warmend up around here so I fuggured I would take my sporty out for one last ride before I sell it (my EGC arrives soon). I have been watching the ride like a pro vids on youtube n' stuff so I thought I would try it out on the sporty. Well it took nothing to get it down pretty good turining in tight circles left then right dragging bags and pegs ect. Well I though one last tight peg dragging circle before I go.... Full lock left in the friction zone,head up, on the rear brake, kids watching,....looked down. Whump..done! The kids thought it was the best thing in the world. I quickly picked up the undamaged bike and got the hell outa there. I think I left my pride in the school parking lot though.....ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Thats some funny chit, I don't care who I am.

The Ride like a Pro video states, " You look down. You go down." Glad that only your pride was hurt.
