Default Damn...I feel stupid!!
Parked my bike, got off, forgot to drop the kick stand... Felt like an idiot but luckily , no damage. First drop in my life . It went down in slow motion but I couldn't hold it past a certain point. Guess I have that behind me now !

In my defense, I did get distracted by a cute college girl on a balcony at my sisters apartment complex.....
Of course, she saw me drop the bike......

Just out of curiosity, did it go all the way over, or stop at the engine guard?
I pushed my Ultra forward in the shop to move it and the Jiffy stand rubbed the carpet and went past the stop. When I felt that Oh **** moment it was too late. Mine is lowered 1" front and rear, and if it goes slow it will rest on the engine guards. No harm, no foul.
Seen some of the LEO's use their guards when they stop.
