I dropped my bike first trip I did from the dealer, thought I had the side stand out but it had flipped back. After that I had numerous flips and highsiders out in the forest, been sliding on the side along the tarmac once etc. The fist scratch hurts the most, after that you stop to care. This bike can take a few hits. =)
