Side of the... " tow truck" wanted to friendly strike my leg just a little... All when leading a motorcycle group on the way back, fortunately rider behind me kept a good space cushion so I was able to "reverse" as much as needed. Just having a little too short legs 🤷‍♀️ It was closer than it looks 🙈

Y'all can come laugh at me on this one because I 100% know better. Can you guess what I did? For context - I'm 5ft 2.25 inches tall with a 29-inch inseam on a 2024 Honda CBR500, seat height is 31.1 inches. No biggie with that because I can tiptoe. Cue up the fact that I just had the bike lowered an inch-and-a-half and this is my first group ride with it lowered. Absolute newbie rider error right here lol 🙈

So after over 45 days away from my lovely motorcycle (due to a military service), I’ve finally reunited with it. Main issue was that during all this time it got awfully dusty and sandy (due to few sandstorms we had as well), so first thing I did was to treat it with lots of love, water and soap 😁 Attaching the before and after photos for all of you to judge 😋

I’m Elad Best, a 35 y/o rider from Israel. Since I was a child, I remember my father used to have a scooter he used to ride, and one time also took me for a very short ride as well. I wanted to get my own motorcycle license at the age of 16, but my parents were against it, I had to accept it and move on. Later when I turned 18, my younger brother wanted to get his motorcycle license and after a big argue, got his permission. Once I’ve seen it, I took my chance as well and got my own license as well 👹 I hadn’t had any motorcycle of my own for the next 4 years, and eventually got me an SYM Joymax 125i as a starter (even though I already had a license for any motorcycle I wished for). After a year and half, it was my time to get a bigger, more powerful one. So I went to Honda’s dealership and got myself my lovely Honda Forza 300. I’ve got married to my awesome wife, but we had to get a car instead, so I’ve sold my Honda and left the motorcycle community for 3 years sadly, but my father just got himself a new motorcycle, which triggered me to get one as well. At first I wanted to get a Suzuki V-Storm 650, but because my dad just got himself a Kawasaki Versys 1000, I’ve changed my mind and got my own Kawasaki Versys 650. Today my Versys is my best pal on the track against sport motorcycles (it knows how to fight well surprisingly!), and also joining me in my police duty in my hometown as a police motorcycle (has special permits for it). Thank you all for reading ❤️ See you all in class!
