Finally dropped her

[funsocaltiger]

So I finally dropped my bike. And as expected, it was something really stupid. I wasn't even riding her. I had just parked my bike in the garage, and because of how I parked it I couldnt walk by on the left side. So I dismounted to the right... and I guess I must have knocked it forward or something because just as I started walking away she started tipping over. Blam... she landed right into my rack of 800# of dumbbells. I guess that is sort of a good thing. It meant that it landed at maybe 50 degrees over so I didnt have the impact of a full fall. Nothing was damaged but I have some scuffs on the front fairing now. Ugh. Makes me mad. But luckily no real harm was done.

I did need help getting it upright again though because of how it landed. I couldnt get to the other side so we had to pull it up from the back and far side.

That sucks dude.The same thing almost happened to me today.
I did'nt make sure that the kick stand was fully extended and when I got off it started rolling forward. Scared me to death ,but I saved it before it fell. I'm glad there wasn't any damage to yours. Keep riding an stay safe.

Don't feel bad, I had to admit to my dropping my BMW RT. Put the disk lock on and forget I did it. When I climbed back on the bike and pushed it of the main stand, Well you can guess what happened, I felt a right prat.

yeah i dropped mine last week cleaning it...its ok.

I accidentally tipped mine too, but I held onto it while it went over and it landed in the grass gently. It was the first time I tried to move it myself and in neutral. No scratches or damage at all. Just felt kind of stupid.

I almost tipped it in a tight turn out of my drive way going uphill the other day. I caught it first though. Still..let's not do that again. Bah.

I'm hoping these qualify as officially "dumping it" and now its out of my system

It's something that happens jsut like people opening there doors onto my supra...

Just about dropped mine putting it up on the center stand the other day..handle bars turned as I was pulling back and I just caught it.

Don't feel bad at all! I felt really stupid when I dropped mine at the bank. I thought it was in netural but it was not and I released the clutch. I think everyone knows what would happen! Anyway I was half-way off the bike when it happened and I was able to push up on it so it landed gently on the crash bar with no damage done. Except pride

I guess the most relief I can get is knowing it also happened to all you guys, too. My heart gave a lurch when I dropped my bike last week. It was not even like I was riding on it -- I parked it and had the stand on some soft spot . After awhile, the stand may have had dug in on the mud and my bike titled and fell. No damages, but still....whew!
