Forgot to put down the kickstand?

[spydercanopus]

You expect to set the bike on the kickstand, then opps!! You forgot to put it down! Did it fall over? Any damage? Or are you too experienced to remember ever forgetting the kickstand?

I've done it once or twice. Never resulted in a drop though fortunately.

[Grey Thumper]

I've busted an indicator when I didn't put down the kickstand. I've only forgotten once or twice though.

I forget to retract the stand more often. Fortunately, the bike won't start if the kickstand's down and the bike isn't in neutral.

Can't say I've ever done that

I'm with Honda Girl... never done that one, thank god! If I did, I think I'd have to change my pants.

I can see riding off with the sidestand still down but I can't possibly see how one could dismount without putting it down.

You are a rational person. You only do things that make sense. Not all of us are so gifted..... some of us do things like this: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=18526&p=158341#p158341

All most forgot to do it once, but as I was laying it over to the kickstand and it seemed to be getting real heavy, I realized the stand was not down.

Wow that was a close one, nice save! Yep if the bike never hit the ground, its all good.

Been there done that. Caught the bike as it was getting HEAVY. Didn't actually drop it that time,
but boy was I embarrassed.
