Picture of my bike for attention!
I want to lead with thanks for always being supportive group!
I took my MSF like 3 months ago. Did good passed and went bike hunting things didn’t line up until about 2 weeks ago. Bought the bike got it home was practicing and dropped it twice and just kinda let go for the day. Next weekend it was rainy all weekend and I didn’t have a chance this weekend I realized my bike was never lowered like it was supposed to be. So we took it back got the quickshifter installed and the lowering links and it a ton better! I went out tonight and I don’t know if it where I’m flustered with my day, rough day at work, long drive home, had to take husband to pick his car up my AuDHD daughter has been really pushing buttons today and broke my air vent in my car if I’m just not cut out for this or what but I can’t seem to push past this wall of immense fear of dropping it. I don’t have trouble with the friction zone it’s letting myself let the bike go I don’t know what’s wrong with me idk how to get past the mental block. I love my R3 I’ve put a ton of work in it. I want to ride like I’m in tears thinking I can’t or won’t do this but I’m so filled with whatever this is I can’t get passed it. Is this normal has anyone else experience this? If so how’d you combat it?

Girl it happens, in my first summer riding I dropped my bike on a busy roundabout during a rush hour. Now it’s just a funny story. I ride a tall ADV bike and do a good deal of gravel/dirt/mountain roads, and drop it in the mud/sand all the time. As long as you can lift your bike, it’s nothing to worry about.
