First time Layed...

Poor Natasha.

So it was a rainy day, and some car had puked up something in this intersection. I was only goin about 15 Km's an hour but got into the throttle and it put me into the curb both tires. I kind high-sided it over the curb and into the grass. Then ended up catching my shoulder on the sidewalk after I slid for a bit.


- Lost a few bolts, but a little sanding, some filler, and some paint will make this go away...

- Had to fix all the headlight mounts, you can see it's not flush in this pic.

- My wonderful smoked visor I miss it!


- Took the Sock left the skin.

- Bounced my head on the side-walk

- Tore my Joe Rocket. Totally messed with the venting my jacket fills up like a baloon now! So it's my new snowboarding jacket!

All in all I got really lucky. I got a new windscreen and brake assembly in 2 weeks off of E-bay for 100 bucks CAN$ Which is much better than the 600 dollars they wanted for the OEM parts at the dealership.

But I've considered myself lucky. If I had to go down in my first year I do'nt think I could have gotten any luckier.

P.s. and totally unrelated. They want $900 bucks for me to get an OEM chain and sprockets on Natasha! That's ridiculous! Aftermarkets the way to go I guess they quoted me 250
