Scratched up the right side, and cracked the fairing. Also he bent the front brake lever and broke the right mirror as well.

No frame sliders...


At least he was at a stop

Damn, I just knew something stupid was going to happen. The only good part was this lesson was low speed.

You need a lighter, used bike to learn on. This stupid shit happens and it doesn't cost a million dollars to fix something used.

I guess this where I had a definite advantage learning to ride in the dirt. If you didn't crash, you weren't pushing hard enough. A couple hundred pound dirtbike is easier to handle when you wash the front end too.
