Well, my first season is coming to a close. I've put around 850 miles on my bike since I started riding it in late August.

I haven't fallen with it yet. It did fall over once when I parked it on a slope that made it sit just a bit too upright. I walked away for a minute to grab my phone from inside, and when I came back it was on its side.

Zero. I came pretty close to wiping out on an oil slick but kept it together.

Never dropped a street bike in 31 years of riding.

2 crashes. cosmetic damages at most. frame sliders are great.

well... i still have around 3 ½ months to go before i complete a year of riding so hopefully i don't have to edit this post. :(

parents were more upset at the bike scratches than me. :lol:

i was fine both times, i was wearing my track suit. im sure if i got injured real bad... my parents will be very worried when i get on the bike again.

but they were so worried when i went to the racetracks.

I didn't fall or drop the bike during my first year.

One down, 50 years to go.
