I was pulled over last weekend, getting ready to ride Skyline Drive.

I, uuummmm, stood up to adjust myself... foot slipped on gravel... down went the bike. Still holdin my nutz while it fell!

HAHA! Picked it up and rode north!

That ride like a pro stuff in invaluable for simply learning how to pick up a street glide!!!

Well, I didn't forget the kickstand but I did forget that I had a front disklock on! I managed to go about 6 inches before there was a crunch and I ended up on my ***! Lucky for me the only scratch was on the engine guard. I am now the proud owner of a bright orange disk lock reminder cord

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
you put the kickstand DONE ?

Not to hammer on ya but that's what I call a real brain fart. Between my two bikes I haven't dropped one not putting the jiffy down twice, foot didn't slip in gravel parking lot with wife on board, and not pushing SG into garage over lip in floor weight shifted away from me, after teetering for about 15 seconds, and into the wood lathe she didn't go. Its getting to where I don't even get mad any more.

If you actually ride at all....then we have all done it. Replace the scratched parts, and move on.

Don't let it get you down (too much).

Did it back in 1980, in the court house parking lot. I was there to pay a speeding ticket, go figure.
