Glad you decided to throw on a helmet, because for the type of ride you were taking a large percentage of folks out there would have not bothered to put a helmet on.

Hope you are okay, I doubt there was much of any, but any damage to the bike?

And to make matters worse, my battery is dead. i forgot to shut the key off last time I rode it, and didnt quite hook up the trickle charger until a week later. Rode saturday and the bike went fine, but needed a jump start first thing in the morning and at the gas stop. The battery showed 2.5 v before the ride, and 2.7 after :(

Glad you're OK. Such is the risk of being a test pilot for "vintage" rides.

*note to self*

Do not ride a $100 bike that's bigger than 50cc's.

Older bikes know who's worthy to ride them. You're not one of them. :bonk:

Glad you're OK

Meh, small bikes can bite ya real fast, and real hard too. I used to race euro pocketbikes. My experience is that smaller bikes can actually dole out a positively cruel amount of road rash, and with even greater immediacy.

Remember, you can balance a broom on your hand, but not a pencil. The longer lever "telegraphs" its motion more slowly, leaving time to react and counterblance. Small lever flops over so fast, you just eat it.
