LOL,, My Honda story, I had a CB 750, down on Main street where we hung out as teens, cruising etc... (just like American Graffiti) Couple girls wanted to ride. A friend and I went to our bikes, I swung my right leg over, put it on the peg, pushed the left leg up off the stand, couldn't put my right leg down on the ground,,, fell over like a keystone cop. (Flared Blue Jeans, kick starter went up my pant leg,,, The girls still wanted to go for a ride!

 

Wish I had a video of that!

 

Mike,
You forgot in your poll. The option, "That's what your crashbars are for."

 

Never. About 12 years ago I was riding my Goldwing down a hill and passed a couple on a Harley touring bike coming up the hill. Realized I had gone the wrong way and turned around and came back up the hill. Near the top I came across the couple in a gravel parking lot with the bike on the side. I pulled him and stopped and helped him lift it back up. The bike looked almost new. As they were walking around the bike checking it out, one of them said "there has to be some damage THIS time".

it had a couple hundred miles on it and had already been dropped for at least the second time.

I have now seen the light and ride a road glide ultra, which coincidentally is about the same shade of blue as my goldwing was.

 

Not in the first week but within the first month in my shop. Pushed the bike forward a couple of feet and had a brain fart I guess and it slowly went over on its right side engine guards, me on the left getting pulled over with it. It was surreal, this wasn't happening....it was and did. No harm done other than I felt like a moron.

 

There's only two types of bikes. Those that have tested the crash bars and those that are going to test the crash bars. Garage floors are slick.... please just don't ask me how I know.

 

Nope, never

 

First bagger every. 1 week down... No drop.

 

What amazes me about this thread is the number of people who answer with completely irrelevant answers. "....oh no, never, not me, after a million miles I have never had any kind of incident with my bike....blah, blah, blah...." Good grief, that isn't the question. He is asking for replies from the rest of us who HAVE had similar experiences......which I would guess is the vast majority. WTF?

 

Another drop in the first week here.
Didn't have a good parking spot yet at the house. Parked just off driveway, half gravel/half lawn. Put a foot long board 1x6 under the kickstand. Standing on the right side of the bike I suddenly hear a 'snap' and see the bike starting to tilt to the left. The best I could do was ease it down from the right side. Not really a drop but an easy down. Not much damage but the license plate bracket and hand grip took the heat.
