Glad to hear you are OK. Good choice on getting a beginner bike that like, it sounds like you are kind of accident-prone.

Well last year I had a Buell Blast as my first bike, it was plenty good for a learning bike, only about 30HP and 30FT lbs of torque, I droped it 4 times total, all of them where stupid noobie mistakes, I'm just glad I wasn't on a more powerfull bike when they happened.
Anyways I got 2500$ trade in on my blast, I paid 2600$ for it so it wasn't a bad deal at all.
