AND embarrassing moment of the month goes too....

*DRUM ROLL*

Bugger!

You're not the first to do that though

Did anyone see you...

Cause if they didn't - it isnt too bad.

Did it in the privacy of my own garage.... thank goodness for that.

I too am a member of "Team forgetty sidestand put down thingo crash"

I am the founding member of "If You're Going To Stop On A Slight Slope, Make Sure Your Bike Will Not Roll Off The Stand' Club. Lucky it fell onto mud and not concrete .

Could of been worse mate and if ya didn't tell us nobody would know Vesides us females can't be 100% perfect we come damn close though

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....

What Year is it where you live?

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!

Polishing, ironing, washing, making doughnuts Come on mate you know if we had as many Ladies there we could have picked it up

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.

didnt they still do that like 2 years ogo??

my mate just bought a WR450 (never ridden a bike b4)

and it has the suicide stand thing on it...

I dont know how many times the 7 feel off its stand unitl I worked out that raising the ars and dropping the forks meant the side stand was now too long DOH !!!!
