It happens to the best of us.

 

Glad to hear your ok and able to ride another day. **** happens and we move on! Damage can always be fixed, I feel your pain!

 

I always ask my wife to help because its her bike that goes down instead of mine.

 

Don't ask, don't tell.

 

Saw a mechanic drop one rolling out of the shop Friday and my brother dropped his Sunday backing into parking spot? Life goes on...

 

most important too is to make sure you are in gear

 

I was so close to dropping my yesterday. Had to park partly on some sidewalk and turned too far to the left, with the clutch in I was unable to turn the bars straight and was screaming 'I'm gonna drop the bike'. Fortunately my boyfriend came running and caught it before the bike and me went down.

It was a good lesson for me. Think before slow speed turns when parking. Next time I'm going to park the bike further away rather than try something stupid.

 

I think the biggest cause is the front brake, slow speed manuvers, stay off the front brake.

 

I had mine jump out from under me in deep sand going up a buddies dirt road once. To make it worse I had nine stitches in my right forearm and couldnt lift the bike. I had walk a few hundred yards to his house, knock on his door and have my buddies come pick it up. Felt like a sheethead. It happens.

 

Yep it happens.

I dropped mine 1 week after I had it. Nice audience of 20 people. Slow turning right ot park and touched that front brake and down she went.

I had watched the video on how to pick it up luckily and I picked it up effortlessly by myself. If I hadn't watched that would have had to have help.

Almost just dropped it again a couple days ago. Backing into a parking spot and my foot hit some loose gravel. Watch out for that to.
