Sooo long story short, I went on a group ride through Topanga Canyon with my MSF instructor and some other folks who took the class with me. I unfortunately did not navigate a sharp turn as well as I should've (panic braked as a result) and the bike fell and slid on the right side.
First thing I thought was definitely oh ****...but after catching my breath and reassessing what went wrong with my friends, I drove it the 20 miles back to my place without issue. I guess I learned two things: 1) this bike will run and will not fail me if this were to happen (no leaks, no obvious mechanical damage) and 2) I'm lucky and ecstatic that this happened to me at this point in my bike ownership with no injuries.
So now I ask you fellas, what are my options for fixing her up a bit? The bike runs nicely and I still take it to work but I'd definitely like to get the front turn signal + brake + clutch levers replaced as soon as possible. Any tips would be helpful and I appreciate it!
