Good on ya getting a licence and bike - I just dropped mine too (again) tonight. Was turning outside the maritime museum in AKL in weather that was more like someone pouring the sea through a seive. Couldn't see the road markings in the pouring rain and lost the back wheel on a white arrow (I think - couldn't really see a bloody thing for the rain) Not gonna ride in the rain for a while. No bruises this time just a busted indicator, scratched muffler and a damaged ego. Important note - If you fall off, get back on as soon as you can - better for your confidence in the long run. Enjoy the V-Twin.
