Better there, than main street in Sturgis.&nbsp\\;[sm=happybounce.gif]

 

I have dropped mine 4 times. twice while 2up.&nbsp\\; Once in the ride like a pro class and the last time, I thought it would be cool to get off and not use the kickstand. It wasn't.
&nbsp\\;
My 29 year old son just bought his first bike.&nbsp\\; 08 Ultra. While waiting for it to come in I let him ride mine.&nbsp\\; He dropped it at the end of our drive way.&nbsp\\; He couldn't believe it.&nbsp\\; Last week we went on a little 800 mile ride.&nbsp\\; As his mother and I were waiting for him to show up he rolled up looked us in the eye, smiled and fell over.&nbsp\\; I knew I better not laugh.&nbsp\\; He was so embarrased. The next day he dropped it again.&nbsp\\; I tried to down play the whole thing.&nbsp\\; Anyway everyone does it.&nbsp\\; Or they lying.
&nbsp\\;
Don't worry about it.

 

I watched a poor soul pick his up 42 times in one day on the first day of motor school.

Guess this guy wasn't the quickest learner huh?
sorry, but 42 times, seems like a lot, he must have dumped it every time he rode it!!!
I do have to admire his "never quit" attitude though
LOL

 

Dropped mine twice. First time the day I bought it from previous owner. he had a steep driveway going up onto steep street going down. Thought I could make, too slow bars went full right...he said don't worry we all do it.
&nbsp\\;
Second time, after riding all day, figured I'd practice some Ride Like A Pro stuff, dropped it in a slow right turn and ran out of space hitting a 3" tall curb and over I went.
&nbsp\\;
No damage except to pride...LOL

 

Been there, done that!&nbsp\\; Well, didn't drop the bike, but our camper did break down in the middle of a right hand turn onto Lazelle.&nbsp\\; Had all traffic blocked for like 5 minutes until 20 guys came over and helped push it to the side of the road.&nbsp\\;

 

The only time I dropped my previous bike was in my driveway with the key in my pocket! I found that I know lots of guys that have done the same thing...once that sucker gets going over it is hard to stop!

 

Welcome to the club.....

 

Yep...happened to me in front of 3 painters who were sitting outside eating their lunch. They did not get up to help. I figured they had back trouble or something. Got it back up myself. Embarrassing...sure...but I got over it...you will too.

 

I've done it three times...once on the day I got my new RK when the rider's floorboard hit me in the back of the leg and it freaked me out (last bike had pegs), once at a ride and I hit a hole in the grass when we were staging the bikes at slow speed (yeah, that one was embarrassing), and once when an asswipe bolted out in front of me while I was getting ready to turn from a stop and had to slam the break on.&nbsp\\;

It happens...

 

&nbsp\\;
Had not dropped mine in the first 8 months of ownership.&nbsp\\; Drove 80 miles to ride with an old friend.&nbsp\\; Before we hit the road, he commented that there are 2 types of riders.. those who have dropped their bike and those that will.&nbsp\\; I told him I had not dropped it yet.
Well we got to the first traffic light, I put my right foot down and slipped.&nbsp\\; I dropped my RKC.&nbsp\\; Friend turned around and just grinned at me.&nbsp\\; I managed to get it back up alright but the the thing that is really embarassing is it would not start.&nbsp\\; I guess the fuel injection get's flooded.&nbsp\\; After about 3 or 4 minutes of trying it fired up.&nbsp\\; I learned something that day .. pay attention.
