It was 75* today so no, no gloves and I wish it were that easy to just switch sides but the mufflers have dimples for the shock bolts

Applying front brake at very low speeds when bars are turned even a little bit = dropping bike. Bang. Heavy bikes go fast. Done that, hopefully just once. I think you are one of the lucky ones with good scratches, cause think what they could have been.

Dropped it = stopped or barely moving and bike falls over.
Laid it down = moving, quick braking, skidding, screaming, filling pants, rolling, finally coming to a stop, quick finger/toe check, then sadness...

Dropped it / Laid it down = forms of Crashing

Demanding people be absolutely correct in each and every term/noun/verb/adjective a person uses when posting on a website about things so, so, so important as "motorcycles" = Asshatish behavior.

In the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter what YOU call what HE did does it?
