Did it back in 1976 once with my new SuperGlide. Of course, I was pretty drunk at the time but it did register with me and fortunately haven't done it since.

Did the same thing yesterday but felt the all of a sudden weight on my left side and being the total badass that I am (laugh), was able to keep the bike from hitting the garage floor.

Did something similar with my Road King many years ago. Luckily the wife's car was parked next to it and kept it from going to the floor.

When she asked about the dings in her rear passenger door..."those damn grocery carts!!!"

First day I got my new bike, stupid me, gets on it with sneakers on. Well the lace got caught in the shifter and down it went. The engine guard saved the bike. I looked it over with a fine tooth comb and couldn't find a scratch, luckily!! I've never got on it again with sneakers.

My friend was hysterical laughing at me for 5 minutes until he was able to take a picture and only then did he help me pick up the bike. Im afraid I may have to kill him if he circulates the photos LOL. So, who else out there did something stupid? Please share

Don't feel to bad. I was eating breakfast early one morning and while chatting with the waitress, we both looked out of a window just in time to watch an Ultra Classic rider come to a complete stop at a red light without putting his feet down. It looked like something you would see in a movie as the guy almost in slow motion falls to the right side all the way to the ground. I went out to help him pick up his Harley and he said, " I feel so stupid."
