There are 2 kinds of riders, those who have done this, and those who laugh out loud at people who do this, until they do it themselves!

Been there done that sucks but as long as only your pride gets hurt its all good
Dropped mine when backing it out one day lost my grip on it and down it went laying right on crash bars so yeah they worked great

Re:garage oops lol 11 Months, 1 Week ago  
This happened to my dad in his garage. He got home form work and we were talking while he parked his Roadie, he started to get off of it and no kickstand. He caught it by bracing his arm against the wall and like any good son I stood there and laughed since I could see that there was no danger of him or the bike being harmed. Once we got the bike back on to the kickstand he of course blamed me for "distracting" him while he was parking. I told him in my best sarcastic tone "Whatever dude I'm not the one who just pulled a rookie move" Now I just wait for my turn.

Think we've all been there, My driveway has a downward slope to it, just after bringing my 'Brand new Baby' home, I pulled it out of the garage facing down to the end of my drive, not realizing that the kick stand had no lock on it, parked it, went back inside to get my coffee, and you can imagine my surprise when I went back out and realized that it had rolled forward off the stand! Thank God for floorboards and Saddlebags...Dang that thing is HEAVY!

Fell over right after I got off and of course I had an audience. Engine guard prevented any damage except to my pride.

Same damn thing happened to me last week, had my bike up on a "Center Stand" detailing it and had the kickstand up as I let it down. Thank God for the Big Bar, no damage done except my pride!

Yep, the R* doesn't like to be parked facing down hill.
That's why I always put mine in gear on any slant. And yup, thank God for highway bars and other extended parts. Tanks ain't cheap .
