was backinng it up out og someones driveway and turned a little to soon to try and make the sidewalk lost the center of gravity
and it became to much to hold so i had to lay it down , about half in the grass and half on thr sidewalk, just pulled a little grass of the primary cover the front turn signal was slightly tweaked and the clutch lever doesn't feel like its in quiet the same position as before ,
other than that no scrapes or scratches and it fired right up,
hopefully this satisfied the gremlins

I've almost done the same thing with a passenger on back. Learned to keep the bike completely vertical and the wheel as straight as possible when backing.

Glad to hear no serious damage.

 

karma is a bitch

 

What does she ride? I almost dropped mine the same way backing into a parking space. Was a real learning experience. Glad you had only minor damage.

Ride Safe.

 

Yeah I dropped my oldcrotch rocket awhile back the same way. And with my lady on theBob I almost always have some scare.Always have to take a sec to get my stomach off the floor....

 

back to the mirror slap agan . i feel i explained that away as best i could, maybe it is karma so be it

amazing how heavy they are off center glad you got off light - pete

 

Did exactly the same thing with my old Dyna Convertible. I backed it round to turn around and I lost it but the handle bars whipped round and thumped me in the chest and bruised a couple of ribs- felt bloody stupid. The bike fell on me and the sadle bags kept the back end off the ground so no damage. That's cool as I mend for free!

 

did the same thing trying to park at a swap meet. its always better in front of a crowd

 

Sod's law states there will always be a crowd when this happens, it's the gravitational pull of their eyes that does it.
