I now have the first wreck on my new motorcycle out of the way.  Bent the clutch handle so no big damage. Scraped my elbow and knee but mostly bruised my pride. I'll spare you the details of the temper-tantrum I threw after picking myself up off the pavement. We got the bike up and finish our ride. After a few hours have passed my scraped/bruised knee is becoming more sore and stiff. My elbow isn't too bad either just makes me look like the tomboy I've always been. I'm just pissed at myself for laying it down.
