Dreaded driveway drop! pic included

[Jackhammer]

"it'll never happen to me" so i thought, the infamous driveway drop. Before my ride i wanted to clean up the wheels a bit, so as i got out the ole rear stands to jack it up i thought the "y" shaped prongs where in place on the spools, when all of a sudden.........SLAM! She's horizontal, the only thing that saved her was the $99 frame sliders. I am hearby a believer in sliders, saved me $1000 in damage & a super mean beat-down the dog was gonna receive

Damn! Talk about hindsight being 20/20. I always worry about dropping mine putting it up on the rear stand.

I haven't done it yet and hopefully never will. I'm not ready for sliders yet.

if you look close you can see the slider chipped on the underside.

It happen to me but I don't know how I got her back on the two wheel before she touch the ground. I guess a was lucky. Note. never do it by yourself. lesson learn.

Yesterday must have been the day for OOPSIES! Although I have a beautiful purple bruise on my leg in the shape of my frame slider.

Glad they worked, but the quality of those makes me think they came out of a cereal box. What make are they. I have seen plenty of tipovers w/ sliders and none chipped/cracked/broke, etc. just liitle impression marks on the end.

I'm a believer in sliders too. Only mine protected my bike from a car door in a parking lot. Paint from the ca door was actually on my slider, but the bike was o.k.

Looks like the sliders did a fine job!
