RE: has anyone ELSE dropped their EGC?
Dropped my EGC no but I have put my Road Glide on the ground twice. First time was when my stepdaughter wanted to do a exit stage left when I rolled into a gas station and didn't even get it into neutral yet. Funny how a little 75 lb girl can put you on the ground really fast.[
] Second time was when I was going around a turn and the 3 cagers in front of me parked it right when I was in a full lean over because the first car was turning into a gas station. That was mostly my fault cause I was right on the cagers bumper going too fast. So I tend to be cautious around gas stations now.

Dropped my EGC twice in first 2500 miles. Thank God for saddle bag guards. Both times only a 1/2 inch scuff on bottom of the guard. No noticeable damage whatsoever. You're in good company. Don't sweat it.

Dropped mine twice the first year I had it.
First time on gravel. Foot just slipped while I was trying to back up. It was like....gonna save it, gonna save it, aw crap.
Second time pulling into a parking spot when a bimbo decided she could beat me to it and cut me off. She just watched and went in to get a hotdog.
An older gentleman offered to help but I had practice at this and stood it back up.
B***h won't forget me for a couple days.

I am glad I am amongst such great company.
It does happen and fortunately for me my pride is what took most of the bruising.
Bryan in his post a while back gave a great tip. Our wife has nothing to do with our bikes going over, so be careful how we handle this in public. I can say I have seen some really stupid things done and said out there.
This is a great thread, thanks.
Keep two on the ground always.
