HI,

I had my first off this morning, came to a T junction looked right then left no traffic pulled off a car came up about 40 in a 30 zone pulled the brakes and didn't get my foot down in time luckily I wasn't going fast at all and only need a new clutch lever, but still scary.

Any off is scary, esp your first one. You were lucky. It doesn't sound like it will take a lot to repair. How are you in yourself? Foxy
