i wasn't even there, but from what you said right there... i have a fairly good idea... don't worry, things like that happen every now and then to a different rider on rides...

it tis as i suspected!!!

well very similar anyway!
i know a paticular person who took out a new 250 (well upgrading hers to someone elses) yesterday and while doing a Uturn at the top of a street, possibly gave her a little gas at the end while still in the turn and happened to drop her, and put her first crack in the faring, even though its previous owner rode her for 5 years without cracking her, and left her with own tiny tiny scratches for takeover. but main thing is... she's still keen to ride and feeling relatively confident, she was just upset about the bike.
Point to the story... it happens to most when first starting riding... sort of an initiation!
