Welcome! Your initiation into motorcycle riding has just began.
:blush: BTDT.
At least it was pants and not skin!! :shocked:
Might want to save the polyester pants for non-riding use; cotton jeans won't do that.
Remember to always put the side stand down before dismounting too!
Don't park facing DOWNhill as a slight forward movement will roll it OFF the stand.
Park in IN gear; that is your parking brake.
Some of this stuff they don't teach you in school. :biggrin:
Sometimes after "cooking" the stuff good with a few long rides to get it really hot, you can flick it off after it cools with a stick. Failing that, or if it is a thin streak, soak it in GooGone; sometimes WD40 works too. Last resort is 0000 steel wool but be gentle so as to not scratch the chrome.
