I Dropped My Bike Today Club - IDMBT#1

First time was coming down my driveway messing with new led lights a couple months after buying the bike (right fairing and exhaust)
Second was in a church parking lot (broke front wheel, bent back wheel and scratched stator cover)
Third it got off balance in my garage all I could do was slow it down (garage was carpeted no damage)
Fourth I was loading it into my truck and got off balance again (scratch left fairing and a fist size dent in my truck)
Fifth I hit a turkey on the Blue Ridge Parkway (never laid it over but knocked out right turn signal and cracked front fairing)

Do I get 5 numbers now???
 
IDMBT #5 to you!

Dropped my Busa while trying to turn around in our driveway and I was way to close to a boat parked there...learned that you shouldn't turn the front wheel while not moving much, crushed my finger and my ego...

Dropped the Busa 2 more times, once while going up a ramp to a shop I have, and once while going down the same ramp...

Had it lowered after those incidents and it's been fine since :D

Sir Dropsalot. Did you do it again?

What number are we on? I will claim club member #5. In my garage, but no bike damage. When it went down as I dismounted, I scooted back kind of underneath it and it fell on top of me. A bit of yelling and wifey helped pick it up. Think I permanently damaged a disk in my back though, so that may not have been too smart.

IDMBT application # 9:

In 2008, at the Fall Bash, I was following Omar near Fontana Dam. When Omar got backed up trying to avoid a bike that had gone down, I jumped off Bessie to help, but put the kickstand down in neutral... She slowly rolled forward as I was completely focused on other things. Cosmetic and pride damage only...
 
IDMBT #9. Application accepted.

For the life of me why don't bikes have a solenoid that locks the kickstand down when the bike is turned off. De-energized extended and energized retract when starting. Maybe a 3/4" throw would do it!

There's your million dollar idea... Make it a bolt-on mod for a handful of popular fitments. :thumbsup:

Shawn neglected to mention that his drop was a result of me dropping Violet... I had a bum knee and couldn't hold her up...dropped her and he came to help me.
 
IDMBT #11. A hero for that gesture he is...an 11 to the man that had a bum knee.

Maybe at the fall bash as an early Christmas present? I'll have to keep checking whose been naughty and whose been nice....



I think we need t-shirts :whistle:


Who am I kidding, we're all screwed if that is the only criteria:)
