I'm a could've been worse kind of guy!I've been lucky enough to avoid that lesson, v65 (knocking on wood). Maybe, I'll take you up on that at a much later date!

I beat you. I dropped mine at the gas pump with 3 miles on the odo! :cray:Yep. It's true. After only having it 3 weeks! ...
I'm starting to think you need candles lit and rosaries said for your bike's health Mike.three drops in last year...two on grass (don't ask)
one with AIW (angelic italian wifey) on back in Waffle House parking lot in front of some Goldwingers and Cruisers before a PGR escort mission. I was RC in charge !!! :blink:
Wifey thought it was end of world and end of the bike if it went down in any way. Made a U turn to line up for parking and we leaned a bit and bars turned, came to a stop and it slowly went over to the right. She's panic ing cause she thinks it will be unridable and I will freak out and it's the worst thing in the world. I hear primal noises from the back as it tilts and I have to yell to just let it go easy and stand up with it under you. No problem. Found out the slider will protect the air horn on the TOG.
No sweat, it happens. I've scratched each bag by pulling out from a gas pump with those concrete posts mounted before and after the pump. I've "popped" the post pulling away with nothing more than a "burble" feel of the bike. When I got home, I saw a scrape each time. Give the bike personality IMHO. I think it give a "you are a real rider" quality.
Let's ride safe and be careful out there,

But I gotta ask. Were the two on grass within minutes of each other?three drops in last year...two on grass (don't ask)Mike in Nawlins'
Welcome to the club. The membership numbers are much bigger than those who have never dropped their bikes (yet).Yep. It's true. After only having it 3 weeks! Was backing out of the driveway (which has an incline) heading back to work after lunch. I was running a little late and thought I could back out a little faster than I usually do. One wrong turn of the bars, lost my balance and down she went on the right side. Not hard, but hard enough to put small scratches on the exhaust, the side case, and tiny scratches on the mirror and frame slider. Glad the bike came with those frame sliders! They work! Such a bummer. I'll have to look for some touch-up paint. Better in the driveway than in traffic.
