Man, that's a heavy bytch to pick up.... :(
I'm really sorry to hear that, that does suck! Hopefully there was no damage to you or the bike?
Thanks. I'm fine and I think the bike is too. It was a "semi-controlled" drop. Bike ended up resting on its crash bar and PLX rack (side cases weren't mounted). No apparent damage. Better the Strom than the Trophy, there'd be cracked plastics for sure.

Heh, heh. I jokingly told my step-daughter it was her fault! :D She was at our house when I came home from church, which almost never happens. My brain was so busy with "why is Beth here??" that I forgot to drop the side stand!

I've done it. You are not alone in this.

A couple years ago, still kind of new at riding.
My wife was standing on the porch holding
out the phone... I just could not hold it up.

Just 1/2 way in putting up the new 2013 Ducati's. Each one is taking an age to put up (30+ mins) as it's even more hand typing/editing than other manufacturer models I put up. But pretty cool stuff! Take a look:
