well that was just my fill in as i contemplated whether what i would say is considered thread jacking or not. as this is what i would have said....
1st off you will come to realize that a street bike and dirt bike handle completely differently. i too grew up on dirt bikes and just got my 750 about 5 years ago and im still learning. 2nd as a dirt biker you should know that generally where you look is where bike and body follow(picking lines in a corner). 3rd something i have learned making the transistion is you can look at something a bit longer on a dirt bike than you can on a street bike, and with a street bike i personally take lots of little glances at something that catches my attention. and finally you may wanna check your suspension.
so i didnt wanna turn it away from the initial thread.
I do understand that street bikes and dirtbikes are different. I still ride dirtbikes a lot. I put over 6000 miles on my street bike from june to august(i don't know if that's a lot to some of the veterans here).I ride the bike everywhere and anytime i can. I've ridden all around Minnesota and I have never had anything like this happen to me at all within all those miles. It was a blunder that i've learned from and it opened my eyes a little more. I didn't post this to have someone tell me what i did wrong and how to fix it. I know what i did wrong. I posted this just for enjoyment of reading for people and maybe they'll get something out of it.
Ps. The suspension is fine.. My headlight mounting bolts stripped out some, but that's fixed and working well. Thanks for your concern though
