I passed my MSF course and got my M1 back in June. I didn’t get my bike a 2006 Ninja 250R until mid October. I took it out to a parking lot to do some practice on my turns when I went down.
After I picked myself up and my bike which only had damage to the front fender and side fairing, I evaualted what went wrong. When I was making my turn I was coming in too fast so I over braked, I was mainly wanting to avoid the grass so I was fixated at the grass and not looking at where I wanted to go and I had a low side fall.
I was fine only thing was I was wearing my jeans and just at like 30mph they had a hole at my knee where I hit the ground. So I’m really looking into getting some good over pants now. From now on when ever I make turns I be sure to look exactly where I wanna go.
I did notice after my fall I was worried the first few times I was riding but after that I just was able to overcome my fears
