As long as no one seen ya do it, it didn't happen
Big bike to powerlift!!!! Couple years ago when I was riding my Suzuki Marauder, small by comparison, I was in a hurry going to work so I start out, I'm about a half mile from home and I realize I forgot my lunch, don't know about you guys but that some serious business right there..... so I conduct the perfect "Ride Like a Pro" U turn and roll back home.
I pull in the driveway and dismount completely oblivious to the sidestand not being deployed first!!!! It's one of those moments of utter disbelief that the bike isn't stopping as im getting off, trying to catch it was futile as I roll off to the side. Rolled off into the grass. I'm no spring chicken but was I thinking of what could happen to me physically??? Um, NO. Amazing how fast your mind can work in those situations....on the way down, all I could think was,,,ok, I'm going to have to search ebay for a clutch lever, gear side footpeg, leatherlyke left side hardbag, touch up paint...and wondering if anyone saw me...
Yes, snap milliseconds, all that,,,,yeah, I thought that was pretty amazing....AND as I was getting up, I called for a damage report, nothing broke!!!! then came the decision making process of how I was going to pick it up...luckily i watch one of those YouTube vids on how to correctly pick your bike up and they had a 98lb girl picking up a HD Softail so not to be outdone by some girl, I picked it up no problem!
Ya, know, if my neighbors did see me, it probably would have looked like I meant to do it I'm sure, just pull up and drop the bike...ha....haven't got invited to the block party the last couple years, been wondering what that was all about....that's probably it.
Needless to say, I'm pretty particular about making sure it's down....
Oh, and check the oil full cap to make sure it's in place....yeah, that was a wonderful event....it's probably not advisable to change your oil early in the morning before going to work, small details have HUGE effects...nothing like smelling like Mobil 1 for a week.....On a stupid scale, oh it ranks way up there...I might as well have said...Hold my beer, Hey Ya'll, watch this!!!!! My wife thought it was the funniest thing picking me up on the side of the road covered with oil, and taking me to get more oil...Ha, Yep, felt like I grabbed my stupid gene and got up out to of the pool....
