Forgot to put down my Jiffy stand
Well it had to happen! I pulled up where a few people I know were standing around talking and needless to say I did not complete all the steps in my dismount. Everything is done "except the Jiffy stand is not down". I precede to get off the bike and along comes the bike with me [sm=noooo.gif]
That sucks, of course one of my buddies help me upright the bike. GOTTA BE MORE CAREFUL!

So you got to practice standing your bike back up. Did you do it yourself? Or did all those guys help?
I practiced several times on purpose. Put some old foam rubber.

RE: Forgot down my Jiffy stand
I was in a hurry moving stuff in and out of the garage and I did it with my old bike. I caught it before it went all the way.
I tore a rotator cuff but not not a scratch on the bike.
I won't ever forget the stand again.
