Dropped the Ultra while making a U-turn on a gravel (more like 1 1/2 in rock) road with both me and my wife on board. Felt so stupid, should've made her get off before I attempted such a tight turn on such a narrow road. Bike was not scratched and neither was my wife, I got out with a pretty good burn on my calf from the pipes and a pretty large bruise in my ego. On top of that we went to a local watering hole and everyone was checking out the bike and when we went to leave it wouldn't start, nothing, had to take the seat off and reconnect the pcv. I had forgotten to "lock" the connector back after doing some adjustments. I think I'll just stay home the rest of the evening.

Just about the same thing happened to me a bit over 2 weeks ago but I was solo. Had my leg pinned under the bike and thought I may have broken my leg but after 6 days I was finally able to stand on it without excruciating pain. Started riding again beginning of this week and have been on a couple 100 + mile rides and will probably do 200 today. There is a support group called goobersrus....

Chuck Norris is so bad when he does a push-up it's not really a push-up he actually is pushing the earth down.

Ive dropped mine twice. One time on the side of the road just outside a tollbooth in PA (that was fun let me tell ya) and one time in a hotel parking garage in Gatlinburg. Nobody or nuthin hurt but pride and ego. They have since healed.

My two favorite Chuck facts:
When the Boggie man goes to bed, he checks the closet to make sure Chuck Norris isn't hiding in there.
Chuck Norris can lead a horse to water and make him drink.

I did it several years ago with my 14 year old son on board. We pulled into an overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway and I was so into looking at the view I didn't notice that the pavement tilted away to the left. I pulled to a stop and went to put my foot down and . . . oh no . . . no ground! It was all kinda slow motion like. As soon as everything stopped moving I yelled to my son, "hurry let's pick this up before someone sees us"!! No witnesses to this day and plausible deniability is still intact! LOL!
