Aw, nuts

Yesterday, I was over at a friend's cousin's house looking at a '94 Kawasaki Ninja 250R. I took it for a short run around the block, but not for too long because:

1. The tires were old
2. I wasn't wearing a helmet
3. No registration
4. Pennsylvania license plate
5. No motorcycle license (haven't received it in the mail yet)
6. No insurance

Anyway, not that big a deal, since it was a quiet residential neighbourhood. I did a silly thing bringing it up into his steeply sloped driveway. I didn't point it 100% straight and it bumped into the curb. No, the bike didn't crash, and no, nothing fell down. I did however learn two important lessons:

1. Don't sit with your legs spread
   
2. Don't sit with your crotch right up against the tank

Ouch. But no damage done, which is all good. I think I'm going to get some riding pants with crotch protection.

I left a deposit on the machine.
