::raises hand:: It's a rite of passage. Either we've all been there or will beeventually.

5'2" and 125lbs. vs. 700+lb bike. Which do you think wins the battle with gravity?

As a Harley rider of 15 years once told me, it usually sneaks up on you too. So always expect the unexpected.
GAGirl, as a fellow Deluxe owner and that being the bike that took a nap on me this morning, you are so right. There is no arguing with gravity!

So, how many cold ones had y'all had at the previous country stores?
Nary a one, stone cold sober.. My lady went all the way flat on her back on the ground and I just kinda leaned all the way over with the bike.Fortunately she has a good sense of humor andjust laughed it off and jumped right back on..
