Guest PogArt Artur Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) I'd like toΒ share shortly the news of my first scratch π I were going first time to that store, suddenly I've noticed,thatΒ the end of the pavement isn't lowered (I know it's kind of against the UK's law) so I jumped it off on the driveway leading left to the parking area... This is where I've earned the first, mostly painful scratch πππΒ Now I know how it's happened, so I will try remember that lesson, and don't do it again. That kerb was looking a bit more raised than the common 4" kerbs, it was going left on the driveway's bend towards parking, I were going just there, so instead of jump off at a straight line, I did jump off following the kerb's curve ... This is where the bottom of the pedal did touchΒ the edge π There's always must be the first scratch, or fall off ... I think the first scratchΒ hurts much more than the others π Edited July 12, 2019 by PogArt Artur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanghamP Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 But you didn't drop the wheel? Not dropping the wheel is you winning, and it's so very easy to crash big time when a pedal gets caught on anything at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not dropping the wheel is you winning, and it's so very easy to crash big time when a pedal gets caught on anything at all. I can imagine it's so easy to fall off ... Thus I'm trying to watch where I'm going π€ No, not any dropping of the wheel, just short touch to the kerb's edge π© I'm commuting daily for over a month, I'm jumping off the kerbs every day, lol... So today the scratch hurts my ego, as it was something I didn't expect π Jumping off the kerbs it's kind of daily routine to me π I suspect I'm usually jumping off at straight line, where the kerbs are separating the side roads... Today I jumped off following the kerb's bend ... Kind off riding off the kerb's edge - too close to it ... I'll try to avoid that, since I know how itΒ ends Β π Β Β Edited July 12, 2019 by PogArt Artur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, I think it's a man's thing to have a fighter's scar , to be a real man , lol π There's no need to bother, it's only the first scratch, the next scratches may be earned later on, at any occasion... I just didn't like it to striking the eyes, being silver on the black background... So I have masked them with the marker π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't like those scratches, but I knew it's theΒ learning process π After an upgrade I wasn't heading to add any scratches on the new EUC's body , lol π So this is why I feel a bit upset having today's scratch for first time , if you know I mean π The less it's visible the better I feel , lol πππ Thanks for your comment π Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your share, I know these marks are usual, not to be avoid or too much worry about, but treated as the common usage marks, nothing else π I just wanted to share my first one, which isΒ very upsetting π The next will be much easier to accept for sure π Thanks π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
