I rode to work for the first time today. The ride in went amazing and smooth and felt awesome!

Trying to leave today was apparently too much for the universe. I parked in a dedicated motorcycle spot behind some shoulder height brick walls that have a space in the middle for bikes to go through. This gives a dedicated space for us against my building that doesn't risk cars getting too close or bumping us.

So I'm pulling out to go home today and I got a little too close to the left edge of the gap in the brick walls, didn't give enough throttle because I was squeezing through and stalled, jolted and dropped.

So embarrassing. Someone who happened to be outside came over and offered help and asked if I was ok.

My question is: how do I pick up a dropped bike without a good spot to grab on the back of the bike? I want to practice picking mine up. I don't feel like there's a good spot to really grab it.

For the record, I'm not hurt. Just a little shook up. Bike scuffed on the mirror, grip end, and slider. No biggie.

Hello friends! I finally got my license this weekend🎉

And I want to slowly start to price out wrapping my 2026 Kawasaki Z500 SE. I have some ideas for my design and I plan to get it installed professionally.

I just need a store to buy the wrap panels from and get it designed.

Would love to hear your experiences!
