Got home from a ride. Put the bike on the side stand. Went to step off...caught right foot on tail bag as it came over the top (or failed to) and fell on me arse...


Guess I didn't get me leg over after all. :facepalm:

Knew of a fella (back in the day) that did that and hit his head on the little pipe in the concrete of his shed floor to anchor the door bolt!

Killed him stone dead .... you have had a lucky escape grasshopper! :yes: :ride: safe.

What's even more embarrassing is when you forget to put the side-stand down and do that in front of those you've just been showing off to... :(

Only slightly less embarrassing than being on a biker forum but not having a bike.

Yeah - no damage to anything other than pride. Gave the lumberjacks chopping the neighbour's tree down a laugh too...
