You dropped it how many time!

Zero drops of any bike, mine or others, in 30+ years of riding many bikes. I've never been caught short-footed or slip-footed ( I always back up toe to heel, rolling my whole foot on the ground to prevent a toe sliding out.)

And yes, I am better than you.

 

Me hopes you were knocking on wood while you typed this?? :cool-new:

 

Me too, but only 3 years of riding--not 30. Hehe.

 

You must have good roads and a good Garage, I put my foot down once and there was a foot deep pot hole-anyone putting a foot down there was going down. Or perhaps the bike spends more time in the garage than the road?:beguiled:

 

Me? Nope. I commute by bike, 60+ miles per day, every day of the year here in CA. I rotate among a few different ones, but I'm on two wheels every day, and most weekends. I have a cage, but last year (2013) I put very few miles on it. So few in fact that I did not put gas in it once last year...same tank all year long.

I'm sure there are potholes out here, and I'm sure I've ridden/parked/stopped near them.

I just didn't put my foot in any of them.

 

Ya out here in SoCal its a total waste of time and MY sanity to drive a cager (truck) everytime I drive to work I always regret it. 75 miles a day to work and back...sitting behind freekin brain dead clueless mofos just sends me into a tizzy.....

Riding for 11 years now and no drops! Unless you count my dad making me lay down my first bike (Suzuki GZ250) in a field by our old house just so I'd know what it was like to pick it up by myself. Then my little brother moved my R/W/B '86 out of our shop to the driveway when I was out of town and laid it over into dad's '69 GS California. Needless to say, my pops was far more upset than I was! All my fairings were off the bike and at my house for repair.

 

During my 50 years of riding I've dropped different bikes at different times. Mostly because I'm inseam challenged and things get overbalanced and over it goes. Always at a stop, I've never had a rolling
accident. At times I've stepped in some oil, water, or something else slippery. A couple times it happened because I was in a rush and didn't have the bike on the sidestand securely. All in all I've probably
dropped my bikes 6 times.

Now that only counts street bikes, not dirt bikes. If you don't drop your dirt bike now and then you're not having enough fun. eaceful:

 

Riding since 1968. Three "drops" - one when my pant cuff got hung up on the peg at a stop, one when I hit a cow in the middle of the road through a blind corner, and one when the wind caught me at a stop light in Spokane last month AND BLEW ME RIGHT OVER!!!

(This tally excludes dirt bike activities . . .)

Put you down for 6 for now. Keeping my eye on you!

 

Gotcha. LOL

Had second drop of my life today. ... parked in the grass earlier & went to leave around dusk. The grass was damp & I accelerated the bike right out from under me.....

No damage other than my pride~

Glad no one was looking!

 

Well the first time I tried riding a bike it was a kawasaki 250 dirtbike and with me being only 5'8 I dropped it about 5 times in 30 minutes. never dropped a bike on the road though

 

I have altered your life forever in original post

 

Oh Randy, you say that to all the boys.

 

Ahh yes Buttercup, but for you, it is in person!

 

LOL. In an attempt to not degrade the quality of this thread, I'll leave you with "touche".

 

Dropped mine yesterday while maneuvering the bike to get out of my sis's garage. Forgot the side-stand was up & it was a bitch to get her up. Me scrawny 120lbs guy vs 400lbs
Nothing got broken, only scratches on lower left of fairing...
Tally = 1 drop for me.

 

another randy drop for me because I had saddlebags, I came off a off ramp and changed direction -bad more-very minor scratches on bags and a small bruise on my right leg. I can't figure that. 70 miles of a cross wind and bugs did me in too. Next time I will stop sooner.:chaingun::banana::rant:
