Ninja went down today. My partner said that there was a car behind us when I was trying to get my garage opener out and it got me all stressed out. After descending the ramp past the door, I tripped and fell.

No injuries to me, and My partner was already off the bike. Bike needs a new clutch lever, but the rest of the damage is only cosmetic from what I can tell. Hate how the plastic looks with the scratches.

Today was a long day with all kinds of challenging riding situations, and I fell at the easiest and most familiar time. Sounds like me.

Learning a new skill like this is always fraught with damage. Back when I was getting into # shortly after learning how to ride a bike to begin with (as an adult), I dealt with several months of ending up in the emergency room because of concussions from crashes. Since then, I've never hit my head again while cycling. #

Hopefully # riding will settle down for me soon.
