dont worry we have all done it, dropped my first bike literally 30 seconds after handing over the cash. dont worry about it too much, because i hate to say it but its gonna happen again at some point in your life in riding, just gotta pick it up (then stop crying, sometimes harder than it seems) then just jump back on. all the best and try not to let it affect you.

im all for buying from a dealer, take a look at these http://www.nortonmotorcycles.com/bikes/ and as said, who is saying you cant customise it further. im also for making something special yourself, i like the thought that the bike is unique. (PS the definition of a streetfighter is something i really dont want to discuss lol, you would need the rest of your life to answer that question lol)

left school at 16 as coulden't stand the damn place and needed money as no one is gonna give it to you, worked as a printer for 7 years good money but crap hours (still that way now) then got made redundant and went to work as a car valeter at a dealership, stayed there for 2 years then moved to police to do the same thing, then went to work in the police workshop and now work in the admin/transport department. ill do whatever brings the money in though as long as it keeps me building bikes lol. it helps if you like your job so what are you interested in?
