I am pretty short(5'6"0 and those damn high spots next to tire grooves in the street got me. I saw that there were the grooves that get worn in the street so like the dumb **** that I am i thought I would be the wise guy and pulled up on the high spot only to find out that my legs weren't long enough to reach the ground in the groove. slowly oh so slowly did my beloved uc touch the ground but I was so embarresed that I had it back up lickety split. Only thing hurt was pride. Happens to the best of us.

Tipped mine twice so far. Once on gravel and once in soft dirt. Nothing hurt but my pride.

Droped mine the first day I had it. It's a good thing I didn't have time to take off the engine guards at the dealer because I really like the look. Those darned guards saved me a ton o cashola and them babbies are on for good.

I haven't done this YET, but, My friend has pulled in to park after a long ride and forgot to put his feet down. The only problem was his wife was on the back.

That's why I would never leave the dealership without engine guards and saddle bag rails!
