Topic: Watch those turn limits!

[techy5025]

I have ridden 750's for 36 years and only dropped one once while almost stopped
on wet pavement....and no it wasn't the bikes fault! So last night I managed to drop
the CBR turning into a parking space at a snails pace when the clipon hit the stops.
Fortunately, only a scratch on one decal so I lucked out.

I have decided that it is easier to drop them at low speeds then the much heavier
750's.  Also, if I had to make a really sharp u-y, I think I would walk it around. 
The mirrors are in so close it is impossible to see behind you....which makes me
really nervous having been hit three times from behind in cars. Handles great with
a little speed though.

Maybe I should enroll in the motorcyclist equivalent to "parallel parking 101".

After owning my CBRXX for only a month, while approaching my driveway behind my brother I checked-up on the steering and started to go down.  I remember fearing damage to the bike along with OMG this bike is heavy, damage suffered, none.  Pride and shoulder, a little sore and smarter to stop straight. 

That day I would have given anything to be on a smaller bike, or at least no whitnesses.  Glad all's ok.

yah... turn radii on rockets are a pain. 
the radius on my 7r compares to my girlfriend's dodge intrepid
