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!



Blah! 

Ouch. That's how it happened the first time to my bro

i'm not sure which pic is more painful..

- scratch on the bike

- scratch on the benz     

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.

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.

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

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

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!
