When you reach that point that's when you throw yourself under it to avoid the bike getting damaged.

I was so pissed. I just stepped right off the bike walked back to her and lifted her up. it happens man and yes you are correct. everyone goes down some real early and some later in life be safe and don't sweat it. its mostly a pride thing!

atleast it was YOUR bike you dropped. i dropped my buddy's 2010 Screamin Eagle Ultra about 3 weeks after he bought it. i was backing it in my driveway to go for a test ride and something funny happened when the back wheel hit the grass. down it went. no damage other than a scuffed crash bar that ended up polishing out. it happens man...and to this day i still catch hell for that.
