Making U turn car pulled out a side road, in the middle of my turn grabbed the front brake went down like a rock ....

 

Once at night out in back of a building rolling along on a RK hit a ditch them stopped over it.Put feet down could not reach the ground,over I went.

 

I've never had it happen with any of my Harley's, but did it once, long time ago, with my Honda 500 four cylinder.

Was out riding with my brother-in-law. He had a sweet sportster at the time. We stopped at an auto parts store to get a couple of things. He was just a little bit ahead of me and had gone into the store.

I rolled in, took off my helmet, put it on the mirror and got off the bike, totally forgeting to put the kickstand down. Walked away and BANG, down it went, laying on it's side on the crash bar. No damage to the bike, but I felt like a total idiot!

 

OK, got lost on a poker run, Mrs. G12 on the back of the EG. Went to stop on the shoulder of the road to check directions. Shoulder is soft sand & over we go. The Mrs. gracefully exits the rear seat on the way down to give me a fighting chance at holding it up, but, alas, to no avail. Fortunately it was soft sand & landed on the frame bits, no damage. That "Ride like a pro"vid stuff really works!! Popped it up & off we went.

 

Took a slow...too tight turn out of a parking lot last week. She started to go over. I shoulda had at least one foot down, but was trying to see how slow and tight I could take it without. Almost laid it down all the way, but strained my guts out trying to keep itoff the ground completely. I was embarrassed, cause I was right at an intersection and in plain sight of everyone.

 

About 7 years ago when I started riding again I bought a used '85 Honda 550 Interceptor. Fine starter bike by the way. Well for some stupid reason one fine summer night I decided to hop over the rear seat short back rest kinda like a cowboy hopping on a saddle over the back of a horse. Well I did it believe it or not but what happens when you land in the seat is the bike bounces and over we both went. No big deal, the bike had been dropped many times before I got it but it was pretty funny. Luckily no one saw it either.

 

I did an Artie Johnson (laugh in) when I pulled up to a stop sign and my left pant leg got caught on my foot peg as I went to plant my left foot. Luckily I only loosened the left mirror.

 

I once opened the saddle bag on my BMW with the bike facing into a strongwind, which caused it to fall over.

 

Was with a friend at a party over 4 decades ago. He had a Zundapp scooter (stop yer laughing!), a two-stroke, and we did a trick where we slipped the timing way back and pushed it in reverse cause the engine would run backwards if you did it just right (old diesels would do that too).

So he then pops the clutch and the damn thing dismounts us andtumbles into a table and people and beer. No one is hurt a bit and everyone lays on the ground laughing for awhile.

 

Believe it or not, when I took my bike test for my endorsement many years ago, I pulled up next to the examiners station to sign the form before we started. I apparently was nervous, and failed to get the kickstand fully out before I got off the bike. In front of 15-20 people, along with the examiner, my bike hit the deck as I was signing the forms, and I received a standing ovation from the crowd of on-lookers. I still can't believe I passed the riding portion of the test with my face glowing beet red from the embarrassment
