That's when you should have jumped up and said, "yeah, I'm okay, yeah!" You are okay and that's the main thing. Ride on my friend.

 

Gravel sucks, yo!

 

Welcome to the club.
1984 I had a Norton 850 Commando, still living in northern Jersey. Sunny day in January the road had some white splotches but mostly clear. I came up on a light and there was about 40 ft of white before it, I thought I had slowed down enough and the next thing I know I have a cold *** and hot leg(from the pipe). sucked

 

The last time I dropped a bike I was at a gas staion, same thing, wheel was turned and I hit the front brake, Duhhh...had some buddies there to help me, unfortunately I had something on my handle bar that put a nice little ding in my tank, so my pride and my bike both got a dent that day.

 

A few years back, I had bought a Heritage, and went to a party. I had about a 6 pack. Not enough to be tipsy, but enough to feel pretty ballsy.

Anyway, when it was time to leave, I got on my bike, and when I started it, everyone started cheering me (the party was outside) so I gunned it a few times and went to pull out. Wet grass wasn't great for this. Dumped the bike in front of about 100 people that I was just showing out for. The bike was fine...my pride not so much.

 

I got you all beat. Mine happened in Reno HD's parking lot. Let me lay it out for you.
I am leading our ALR riders in a Disabled Veterans Poke Run. We pull in to the dealers parking lot to register for the run. Wife on the back I park the bike no problem, say hi to a bunch of bikers we know and some we don't(there was probably 200 bikers), go register come back, get our group ready to line up so I pull around to where we are going to leave from and stop. Here is where things go south I forget to put the kickstand down and you know over she goes wife steps away no issue, I am so mad and embarrassed cause when I look up there are about 10 bikers coming to help me and a hundred more looking, I tell the bikers I don't need help and tell my bike if she doesn't get her *** off the ground I'll leave her there. I can't believe it I had watched the "Ride like a pro" dvd where he teaches you how to pick up a downed bike but I was so pissed I grabbed the handlebars and jerked her up. I heard the guys that had come to help say as they were walking away Boy Santa is pissed.
Moral of story Grasshopper "happen to all some time"

 

Over 10 years riding HD's and did the stupid thing of not putting down the kickstand on my '03 Ultra....in my garage no less...Just got off, then helped it on down to the ground. I guess it happens to all of us

 

Let's just say a LOT of us belong the this club!

 

OK one more, Poker run, gravel parking, lot pulled in came to a stop, all good shifted my weight to my right to put the stand down and out goes my right foot I was off of it and standing next to it while it went down. Nothing hurt but my pride.

 

Never figgered I owned a bike until I layed it on its side.
