bummer...

but look on the bright side, you've done it now... wont do it again

if you owned a ducati, you could look forward to doing it all the time. their sidestands dont stay down, as soon as the weights off it they flick up on their own, you think its down and crasho!!!

as 'bout as close as you can get I reckon... just ask me!

The worse thing about it is I couldn't lift it back up and had to start ringing boys I knew that could come and stand it back up for me...

I am not one to EVER admit I need a man to help me out... but there are just some things that they do come in use for....

That's a bummer, but it's one of those shitty things that happens to everyone some time or another. Look on the bright side, mod time!

Dont worry about it too much Kelly I had a friend that dropped his zx6 infront of about 200 people in the pit area of EC one night a the drags, the a couple of years later the same guy drops his 2 week old GSXR1000 onto the concrete driveway onto the the bright shiny titanium exhaust, he wasnt happy both times.
