I dropped my bike

[Charlie41]

I'm so pissed

Don't get me wrong, I didn't ever WANT to drop my bike, but I figured that when it does eventually happen, it'll be a spectacular crash!!
Now, instead, I dropped it in front of the garage!?!?!
I feel so stupid.

Shit..........I do that every other day.

Buy one without so much plastic.

[KiwiKat]

Bummer. For momments like these you really need a camera to remember it later and laugh. Hope the bikes OK.

Veeery few can say they've never done it.


And they lie.


Just avoid the other sort eh? It is optional y'know.

Better than highsiding and flipping off a corner at 100km/h!

Yes, you don't have any awesome Xrays, but at the same time your bike is still rideable. Happens to most people from time to time, so sigh and shine her back up.

Then get back riding!

Now lighting up a ciggy with the petrol still everywhere, that was first class

smoking made me feel better...well, i think it was a combination of petrol fumes and smoke

Hmmm... I think I'll join in & own up too...

Some time last week, late for work (as usual, but even more so), pull out of the garage, rush to kick down the stand and jump off to shut the door... Didn't kick the stand far enough, leaned over and wondered why the bike kept going... Eased it onto its side nice'n'smooth like.

Swore a lot, picked it up & rode to work.

Hard times for CBR's huh Charlie?

[pixc]

ahhh. Wait until you drop it outside the mechanic shop...then have them run out and peel it off ya.

Thats a doozie when that happens!

never treat a bike as precious. It protects you from feeling so bad when this happens and makes owning it more fun.

It happens to the best of us so hope the bike wasnt damaged much.
I managed to drop my bike on top of me because I totally forgot to put down the side stand

[carver]

[Nasty]

hope the damage ain't too bad Charlie ...

We all know how you feel.
Don't fret too much.
A couple of years ago, I dropped mine on the road outside my house, waiting to turn into the gargre. Unfortunately, it fell on the blue catseye in the middle of the road, so not only did it get scratched, but the catseye cracked the clutch cover.

I dropped my second to last bike (stand folded up) on my father-in-law's car when I moved it. Had to take the car to the panelbeaters and pay $500 for the dent to be taken out and sprayed.

I dropped my very first bike in the owner's rose garden when I was test-riding it.
