RE: I'm a moron
I think if were honest a large number of have, if not done the same, then at least come close to doing either that or forgeting to put the feet down at a junction.
Very easy done if the mind wanders at a crucial moment.
Most embaressing thing for me would be the next hour spent trying to get the damned thing back upright again in full view of everyone.

So this morning I pull into the gas station on my way to work, pull up to the pump and get off the bike......Notice a step missing there? Yeah me too, no kickstand
. As soon as I start to get off I feel it begin to lean left so I try and stop it, didnt work out so well, layed it down gently on it's side. Luckily no injuries or scratches, but of course the gas station was packed and everyone looked at me like I just f'd thier daughters. Why does **** always happen with an audience?

Don't beat yourself up. My friend Richard did the same thing with a full bagger Road King; while we were on our way to Sturgis no less. Who would have thought they would not stand up on their own?

Did that a couple of weeks ago. Good news - I was in a small neighborhood and only a couple of people saw me. Bad news - I fell on the ground trying to stop it from going down and also brokethe shifter off. Felt like a complete idiot! I never would hame thought until then that I would forget something like that.

I did something similar at a gas station once. We pulled over to the side of the parking lot to stop and take a break. Didn't realize that they had just painted the parking lot. Put my foot on the kickstand to lower it, and my right foot just started sliding. Nothing I could do but keep sliding. Yep, it is really embarassing, but then you just laugh and realize that you aren't the first to do it, and won't be the last
