Almost just dropped it again a couple days ago. Backing into a parking spot and my foot hit some loose gravel. Watch out for that to.
And oil spots! Slicker than cat **** when you are backing into a parking space.

Me too. Loose sand too so my guards went deep into the sand and the bike was completely on its side. Couldn't lift it by myself as my feet slipped out in the sand.

Went to the beach bar club yesterday. Took the car

It happens and if anyone laughs or makes fun of you (other than close friends that ride later on after things settle) they are just jealous and they do not own a bike.

Dropped mine in the driveway while cleaning the bike, jiffy stand was not locked in place. Since then I double check that the stand is locked in place and avoid parking on a down slope!
