I almost passed out when I got home cuz I spent the whole 10 miles home seeing how fast I could go compared to on my mountain bike.

During my final test ride I was so giddy I forgot to unclip when I came to a stop in front of the shop. I fell right over! I took the force of the fall and prtected the bike though. I used to be a soccer goalkeeper and know how to fall sideways without getting hurt so it wasn't too bad.

I feel like a little kid again, complete with scabbed up elbows!!!!
Congrats on the new ride. The OCR is a nice machine. Treat her well and you will get many, many good miles and years from her. A little hint, a friend of mine I used to race with always said that ," A well cleaned, well maintained bike is a happy bike, is a fast bike."

Glad to hear you saved the bike when you fell as well
