    Tomorrow will be 1 year since I bought the bike. It has been been fun.

    A tip-over isn't the accident we'd worry about on a literbike, glad you made the right decision. Don't worry about it, it's happened to all of us. Take care, and be safe.

    Ha! It took me til like the 6th page to realize this was zombie thread!

    Though I'm still wondering when they started/stopped teaching the "picking up your dropped bike technique" in the MSF course cause they didn't teach that when I took it 2 years ago.

    They didn't teach it when I went through 2 years ago either. But, the instinct of a person standing over their bike laying on the ground is to reach down, grab the handlebars and lift. Depending on the strength of the person, this usually results in more scratched up plastics. It is only after you lift your bike up several times (or google how to do it) do you realize how to properly lift a bike with relative ease based on your size.

    Re: First Time Rider w/ Brand New 600cc Bike

    I've been fortunate enough to have only dropped my old bike when other people were around to swoop in and pick it up for me. Hopefully I will never have to with my new baby (knock on wood) but it would be good info just in case.

    Oh and back on topic congrats mofo!

    They didn't teach how to pick up a dropped bike when I took the MSF class last year. I think it just depends on the instructor.
