Well went to the store tonight with my buddy who has an 09 zx6r. We're both pretty good at stoppies and he decided to do one. I decided to follow and did a really small one as I wasn't going fast enough. When I set her down I couldn't put my foot down, my pants got stuck on heel guard and boom dropped my bike for the first time ever. Expected the worst, got the bike back up, and not a single scratch but on my wonderful OES frame slider. Thank god! Heel guard was bent, so my buddy bent it back and as he did that, it broke. So that's the only thing I have to replace. So thankful.

Boots, or no loose pant legs, will stop that.

You got very lucky my friend. I dropped my bike and broke my left foot peg. Other than that nothing was scratched, but the bike isn't in exactly show room condition lol.
Nice bike though, I love the green.
