Dropped the dang bike
Went to a buddys house, got off and the kickstand sank and bike fell over. It was on gravel so it scracthed everything it touched. Ordered some new parts allready. Please tell me this has happened to others. I feel like such an idiot.
Don't feel bad, almost everyone drops there bikes now and then, and it usually happens by no-brainer stuff. I've dropped mine about 5 times luckily with the drag bars it doesn't hit anything but the shifter lever.

I dropped my Ninja doing the MSF course, it was stupid, I'd already completed the task and was getting back in line and one of the instructors waved me to stop and with out thinking while slowing doing a curve (our task was quick stops) I hit the break and down she went. Luckly no scratches and I just broke off part of the shifter which I replaced myself. Part was 12 used.
