Dropped it yesterday

[DevilDawg1]

Dropped it yesterday, still sick today.

Sitting still, Kick stand up, leaving the local Sonic resturant.
Went to adjust my key ring in my left pocket, forgot the kick stand was up, leaned the bike to the left, and she laid down on me. Very minor scratches on her. I knew she was sexy, and I loved how she felt when I rode her easy or hard. Now I am here to say, "When she is on top it is no fun at all, and she is extremely heavy and very rough.

Hope no one else has this experience.

Very embarassing in the middle of a parking lot, and she wasn't even turned on.

$900 side fairing?!!!! Where the heck are you bying your parts? Kevin (vman1300) got me the right side, upper, and the right front turn signal for $710. . . That's the factory plastics already painted and stickered. Pull out of box and bolt onto bike.

I've done that twice, first time parked it with no kickstand second time was on a slant and my short stubby little leg wasn't long enough to reach

It always happens in front of a lot of people. When I was in the Air Force I had a 350 Honda and I was riding up to a group of friends when I decided to show off. They were standing at the edge of a gravel parking area. I came speeding up to the area and went into a great sideways slide as I approached them. Unfortunately, the bike got traction somehow and I did a high side right in front of them and landed at their feet. They all clapped and said Good Trick !!!

Sorry to hear that, I have noticed mine when floor is not completely level or the, feels like all it needs is a slight touch forward to fold the kickstand backup an fall... this ICEMANN mod sounds like a easy an quick thing for me to do this weekend thank all for sharing your problems and aids to the Busa noobs like me. I understand this isn't what happened to you. https://www.hayabusa.org/forum/appearance-mods/25882-must-do-kick-stand-mod.html
