That sucks! Glad you weren't hurt and there wasn't more damage than what you said. I'll look around for a derby for ya.

I wish I hadn't read these posts. Mine is still new. I currently have no plans of dropping it. Maybe I could just gently lay it down then pick it back up to get the laying down thing out of the way.

Glad to hear there wasn't much damage and that you didn't get hurt.

I HATE saying this but I don't know any biker who hasn't dropped their bike. They always say, it's not a matter of "if" but "when".

I have a 30 foot broken concrete driveway with a steep slope I have to back my bike down every day to get it back into the garage. I hate these posts, but they keep it in the front of my mind.

By the time he came running over, I already had the bike back up and was putting the jiffy stand down. I told him i was actually glad it went down on that side...if it had gone down on the pipe I'd have probably thrown a small animal under a bus in a fit of rage.

Morning. I have a feeling that most of us have done that at one time or another. Loose gravel under foot can be a bitch. All I can say is " Thank God for Engine Guards ! They saved me a couple of times on my last bike and that was the first thing I added to my 08 Fat Bob. Stay Safe !
