Brainphart today. 10 Months ago  
Parked the bike today, went to dismount only to realize I'd forgot to put the kickstand down . In slow motion, I and the bike went down. Didn't bother to check for witnesses . Picked it up put the stand down and walked away like nothing happened. No damage except to my ego (needed a reality check anyway).

Been there done that The important thing to do is get back up real quick and get the bike up and then examine the kickstand real close IN CASE anyone is watching

Re:Brainphart today. 10 Months ago  
mine fell over in the driveway a couple of weeks ago.
I started it and went in the garage to put away my nite glasses and on my way back to the bike I saw the handlebars turning and I new it was going down. I picked her right back up and the only damage was a bent riding light viser I am amazed at how easy it was to stand her back up.

Aw, you guys are pathetic! Why, I never... oh, wait, mine fell into a car once!

It was okay. I knew the fella, and his car was junk. I bought him an electric screwdriver, and all was good.

Re:Brainphart today. 10 Months ago  
A week or so ago it was real hot and I think the kickstand on some guys Goldwing sunk into the blacktop and the bike fell over.

I went by the bike and saw it on it's side. Two guys were looking at it so I figurd they were going to stand it back up. Went by again several hours later and the bike was still on it's side.

I thought about stoping and picking it up myself, but I'm sure someone would think I was stealing it. Oh well, the next day it was up on it's wheels and their was something like a coster under the kickstand.

After that I noticed my kickstand will leave a dent in the blacktop if it sits to long.
