Dropped their bike!?!? - Page 4 - SV650.org

Dropped my 50cc Kawasaki when I was 16. Got off and it leaned away from me and of course the bike is in the way of where you need to put your feet to pull it back. I held it counterbalanced for a while and then had to let it down as gently as possible. Fortunately no-one was watching! My excuse is that I'd just given a fairly large blood sample...

And I dropped my spanking brand new SV on its 13th mile. Diesel and inexperience

I didn't drop Stu's classic Vespa but I could never get the stupid stand to stay down so I'd lean it against walls. When I took it in for an MOT there was nowhere to lean it so I sat outside the workshop blipping the horn until the lads came out then handed out over and told them to deal with the heap of ****.

I didn't so much drop the bike but was high sided off it on the way home a half hour after buying it. I think I changed down without using the clutch and locked up the rear.
