first wipe out

by (no login)

 

so i bought my express on sunday and laid it down last night then again this morn
both times from sand of gravel
im so pissed!
oh well
i always herd everyone say
"get a used bike (talking about riding sport bikes) because you ARE ganna lay it down
i was like well sheesh if i kant even keep a moped up ill never get a sportbike!"
so my hand is all bandaged up and i have a huge like 3" round brooz (sp?) on my very lower shin
so heres the story
i was soming up to a stoplight and started to turn right and (it was dark out) the front end slipped out of me going around 20-15 mhp
i had no gloves on so my hands are killing me now
i have learned my lesson about riding with out gloves- its a sin
thank god the moped wasnt banged up too much
small tear in the seat is about it
im ganna plan on taking it up to the local bike shop anyways so ill see if they notice anything out of place
one thing though...
i smell like gass today (not from chili!)
gass = gassoline
i dont know if its from me laying the bike down this morn or just me touching the gass cap
but i had gloves on so i dont know if thats it
so i park my express on the side walk
this morn im driving it off the side walk (still a bit shakin from the wreck last night) and i get off the curb fine but right when i hit the ass fault (sorry i had to) gravel once again took its wrath out against me and i goto the ground
luckely i had gloves on and only got two more small scrapes
the moped kept running this morn were as last night it shut off right away
so i just got back on right away and took off
one question though
do i need to give it a warm up time in the morn now that its getting cold
i plan to ride it all winter (yay for ice)
