Well,
This is funny, this is the first bike I have owned that i have dropped.
First event was not a drop but a dumb a** move, I was thinking of getting a gs1200, so while riding my brand new, first day out bike i decided to go and practice in a school lot, wanting to get to the back, I decided to just ride through the grass, the bike started to slid around in the wet grass and thinking i would dump it, I decided it would be better to stop, while I guess it was a little more than wet grass and i sunk in the mud to the rims, I could not get the bike out, forgot my cell phone and had to leave the bike propped up in the mud, since the wood pieces i was trying to put under the wheels were not working for me.
Had to call and have my girlfriend, come get the keys to my truck so i could pull it out of the mud!
i wish i would have had pictures of that bright move!
First drop while moving, clipped the fence while entering the gravel drive to park with the side bag, down i went, son on board.
That was funny, because he had only open one side of the double dog earred fence. No damage, wrestled it to ground in the grass.
second drop, had it on the center stand at work, my girl friend and I would share spots, her car was small enough, so i moved over to the edge, popped it up on the stand, but it was canted, so when leaving for the day, i would just get on Bike, fire it up and jump rock it off stand and ride off, well this time it was leaning to the right and I tried to put my foot down, it slipped and down i went in the grass no damage.
The next time, in garage, just sitting on the bike, drinking a beer, lost focus and over i went, let it down easy, no damage.
two time in drive way trying to make a very tight turn to the right to back it into the garage, had a big &**()*(&*( tank bag on and bars to full lock, but tank bag in the way at that low of speed, so down went, each time just laughing at my self.
no damage.
Moving while going very slow and hitting any gravel and I have had the front ens wash out on me, but wrestled down and landed in grass, so bent high peg brackets is all that drops have caused me.
Now moving and hitting gravel, not seen and man that hurt the bike and my ego too!
SO in my opinion, if you have a 32 or less inseem, this bike can go over quick, and you can save it some times, but at most it is setting down instead of dropping.
