Tips after my fall
Here are some riding tips from Marzouq to me:
- Never hit the breaks when going through a turn or the front of the bike will go out and you will end up on the floor
- Do not hold on to the bike when your falling, push away from it (I think thats why you hurt your wrist)
- Avoid the little white pucks they are the root of all evil, they make you slip!
- Always ride with a friend whenever possible in the beginning
- Know who to call in a situation

Dear Mark,
Salamat ! I am glad that you went through this “training ” lesson with little damage thanks to the helmet your head is safe,,but I should admit you have nice legs !
Now to the real stuff .1- Please read my comments No 14 & 15 on a previous title “no more lessons ” 2- It shows that you never know when you might fall so never drop your guards.Always wear full safety gear,They are designed to protect exactly the places you enjoured,and they would not even tear easily.3- The reason Marzouq stoped without a problem is because his bike is fitted with ABS Breaks,,,an optional feasure on BMW bikes ,plus ofcourse his riding experience.
Wish you speedy recovery

TriStar I just managed to keep a distance so the ABS didnt kick in.. but it is a good feature. It was mostly riding experience i think.. bes 7amdilla it wasnt worse..
I wanted to thank Tristar for their great customer service and their quick reaction.. even 911 wouldnt be faster and forget 777 until the next day.. they got their in 10 mins

My friend just bought the BMW R1200 GSA, The bike is awesome and I just wish I had taller legs. I need a ladder to ride that bike :(

I am still curious to know how TriStar knew about the crash and that the bike is damaged.

I always wanted to get a bike, but in Kuwait I hesitate. The driving here is crazy.
