Back in June when I got the bike I go practice riding in a low traffic residential area. Sort of going ok first three miles, but couldn't get through my head that twist forward is stop and twist back is go. So I go into a turn real slow but too wide, what to slow and natch twist wrong.I go down, pinned under bike. Happened real fast, gas leaking on me, quite stunned thinking not a day and bikes wrecked. Also did anyone see.Only scraped muffler,tailight,brake reservoir.But I'm sure got cracked rib and would have had cracked head without helmet.
Hoping this my only "initiation". Ride safe.
