that use to happen to me all the time. not so much now. I'm just glad I have CRASH BARS and bag guards to keep it off the paint.
I did the slow parking turn once with girl on the back. told her to step off three times before it went down. she just out her leg out and stepped away. she hasnt been back on it in a few years now.
dropped it in hot springs with another girl on the back. I went to stop and before I could get my feet planted she started dismounting. over I went. she thought it was funny and was going to take a picture. I had to remind her about the 259 mile walk back to her house if she did

Happy to know I'm not the only one; it never hurts to be sure!

Forgetting the kick stand or jiffy stand was caused by distraction from your "new lady". You had other thoughts on your mind.

A Goldwinger told me he with his wife on back pulled into a cafe gravel parking lot full of Harley riders for lunch and dropped the Gold Wing. He said they have so much engine guards or whatever that they only go down about 45 degrees and are not too difficult to pick up but he was so self conscious that he told his wife to just come on into the cafe with him and they walked on in acting like that was how he always parked the bike. After lunch they went out, picked up the bike, and rode away.

Oh man, after the "she went upstairs" part, I figured she was giving you a ride.

Gonna have to remember that one!

I gave her instructions on the dos and donts of a MC Passenger. She did very well. Later in the day she starting getting off quicker, almost was not ready a couple of time... had to remind her.
