Hurt my pride yesterday

Cannot believe I did it.
While leaving in the evening to see my brother, I backed it out of the garage. Got off it to shut the garage door, then hopped back on the Road King. Lifted up the jiffy stand, fired it up and dropped it! The crash bars work great, only damage was my left mirror needed to be adjusted.
I guess I was too much in a hurry and did not realize I tipped it to far, then was too slow to recover. I laid it down slow.
My only pain was I had to get the wife so I could stand it back up. I could have possibly picked it up myself, If I really tried, just I was afraid of throwing it down on the other side too.
I felt stupid. Does Harley sell training wheels?

At least you don't have to cover a deductible for that one. Could have been a lot worse and, yes, it does happen to all of us even though some won't admit it.
