Doh!!

[flyboy1011]

Was pulling into the garage at work this morning and got a little anxious on the front brake and dumped it on the right side doing <5 mph. Could have been worse, I guess, but now I haz a boo-boo (bike and ego).

[conn-e-rot]

Oh that sucks whats the damage?

[flyboy1011]

Just a little scratch-age on the lower right fairing. I'll put up a pic or two a little later.

[jessecwalters]

haha that sux. Atleast its just a scratch and not broken levers or anything

[ohdaho]

haha squid.

that sucks man. I remember when I just got my bike and was learning how to ride...forgot to put the kickstand down in the garage. Nothing like watching your bike fall in slow motion.

[NinjaNick]

Sorry to hear.

Why didn't you put your feet down while braking in said garage?

You'd be surprised how many times that happens at the pumps at a gas station!

[chevysoldier]

I did that in a gravel drive way once. Sucks

Oh snap! ...and from a girl!

I'm just f'n with ya flyboy.

[ReconRat]

Eventually you get older and wiser and quit doing things like that. Only to then decide it's ok to ride on ice and go thump... same difference...

I had 260 miles on my brand new bike last year when i dropped on the right side doing a uturn in a parking lot. exactly like you describe. unfortunately my brake lever absorbed almost all teh damage and looked like the ring they put in a bull's nose.

1000 miles later, i did the whole kickstand thing. i kicked it, i felt it click and then threw my bike on the ground onto it's left side. evidently the "click" iheard was the stand going down and coming back up.

now i have scars on both sides to constantly remind me to be careful, have my feet down, and now i always look at my kickstand before i set her on it.

so yeah, i know how much that feeling sucks, especially the sound it makes. worst. sound. ever.

[ohdaho]

Find two Astars stickers and put them on both sides. Scratches gone.

[chevysoldier]

This is why when I put my kickstand down I lean the bike to the left and back as I'm getting off to make sure it won't fall over.

Remember when we were talking about sliders at QSL about a month ago?

Yeah.

Shit happens. Hey at least you did not do it in front of an audience.

Exactly! I had a stupid attack one day and forgot I locked my forks. Was in a store for about a hour nosing around. Went to take off and the thing wouldn't straighten out! Duh!
