Default Ouch, just came off new bike

Bought a drz400 last Wednesday, still getting used to the knobblys. Just leaving a customers driveway do a right turn and give it a little throttle, bike went for a little slide and I hurt my knee I know I should be more careful since it has just been drizzly. Looks like a few scrapes and scratches.






Forks should be fine and bars? Since it was about 5mph or so

It's a DRZ... that isn't a crash... Stop being a poof

Stick some skate wheel style swingarm and fork sliders on it.

Thanks guys. Well rode it home, it felt normal, so gues it's fine just cosmetics. I love it though just to find some lanes in a few weeks times when I have money again haha.
You want my legs??? If you we're a women that would be yes, but no!

Yep, better get used to falling off if going to green lane on it, they are pretty robust in fairness, most things bend back into shape.
