You seem like a nice guy with a nice bike.
Don't give up too many secrets to some of these wolves, cause I suspect some have , and this is in no particular order, very warped sense of humours and memories like elephants that will remind you for a very long time of your little faux pas. some of these guys will cause you great embarrassment to yourself while providing us with great laughes at your expense. ALl in god fun for sure, Years ago I test drove a B-train in a lumber yard. Never driven one in my life. tried to back it up to get it turned around in our railyard before it got smucked by a train. I'd move it ahead a few feet and lift my foot off the gass to making think I was shifting. then slamm on the brakes and back up few feet until I jack-knifed the pup and just kept pushing back. Got the truck clear and left a few folks shaking their heads at me, See, I ran the locomotive and couldn't wait for the camel jockey to get the hell out of my way. One of the fork lift drivers says to me 'wow, that was pretty good' how long you been driving rigs? Never drove one in my life but the controls aren't that much different thanthe locomotive. Release the brakes put in in gear and steer. Important thing to remember here is this. When you haven't a clue what you're doing, make it look like you meant to make every move. Then light a cig.

....thats what I used to say up until last month. Id never dropped a bike before, other than my dirt bikes when I was a kid, but thats to be expected right? Id seen friends drop bikes and always wonder "how in the hell did you manage to do that?!?!", well, now I know.

Glad everything is OK. A few years ago, I came into my garage pretty slow after a 300 mile plus ride on my Bandit. Must have been tired because I don't know why I did this but I grabbed a fistful of front brake. I was barely moving so the bike immediately stopped, the front wheel turned and over it went. Scratched an engine case and a mirror pretty good. Even though I was alone in my garage, I looked around to see if anyone was watching.

I'm not saying it can't happen, just saying their has to be people out there that haven't dropped their bike.
