Yah so I always wondered how people tend to drop their bikes - now I know - I forgot to put down the kickstand and got off my bike and then I was like -> hmm my bike isn't stopping on the lean and then it was to late :(

The above happened today. The bad thing was that I was too calm so I didn't have the adrenaline to lift it up. Luckily there was a person in front of me that helped lift it ;). Such a bad luck past week though... I also scratched my car a few days before!

Not making fun of anyone, but I can't see how anyone can forget to put the side-stand down.
Now because of bad karma (no not you Dave), I'm gonna forget the very next time I'm on my bike. :o

Yea I've almost forgot then my bike started to drop as I got off and I'm like WTF? and I catch it before the lean is too much to carry. :icon_rolleyes:
My bigest prob is remembering to put the kick stand up and having the bike stall when put into first.
But for some reason I only do this when there are attactive females in the area :icon_rolleyes:

It can happen to the best of us. Happened once on my RR. Was tired on a ride, got to the restaurant where we were having lunch mid ride. Stopped and said a few words to my buddies, then got off the bike and was like, WTF, why isnt it stopping....aaaaghhhh. Luckily there was a building next to me and the bar end caught the building so the bike didnt fall to the ground.
Heh yah that was what I was thinking... wtf?! but unfortunately there wasn't a wall next to me :(
Good thing it didn't hit the gas pump though or I'd be paying more for that too i guess :thumb:

It's called brainwarp...
every time I leave the dealer where I bought my bike for some reason I can't ride! There's a big hill too, right at the end of the driveway - I usually stall, or over-rev - it's ridiculous - I feel like a moron, but it always seems to happen there!!!
I almost dropped my bike today leaving class... Right infront of a cute girl in my class! :oops:
