Drop Counter..

[Mellow]

Okay, I added a drop counter to your profile area - bottom of the edit details section.

So, if you've ever dropped your ST or STs, you can add the drop count there.

Just something fun, no lighters yet sorry.

Tried to put the drop count, 2, in and it complained about my 2008 miles entry being a bad format. I have nothing entered in that field. Should I enter 000000?

Yeah.. since the mileage counter is used as a calculation field to sum all of them up, you'll need 6 digits there even if they are all zeros.

[guardian_dfw]

Thanks Mellow, not only are we shamed once by dropping it now we have to let everyone know. Oh well, I just hope there are some out there with more drops than mine. Both of mine came in the same week. Ouch! At least I dropped it on the same side both times.

[st1300r]

You are an evil man:crackup

[Mellow]

I guess I could have a drop king!

[AgSTreak]

Michael, there are plenty who have dropped their ST more than you. DAMHIK!!
Really Joe this is just too much. Let me get my calculator:confused:.

[st1300r]

Looks like it wanted 3 digits to me?
I HOPE that is enough :)

Missed that last post. Drop King. Well, I've always aspired to greatness:)

[Tourin']

I updated mine after seeing the new feature. But it didn't show in today's posts, so I'm sure it's me.:o: And yep, it's already had the drop test!:eek:

[STingray]

That's just wrong on so many levels..... :D

On my second ride after having my suspension done, I was playing around ona very very twisty road (25mph curves) and danced into a right-hander, and STrike II responded faster that I expected and dove deeper into the corner than I expected. So deep that the underbelly made contact with the asphalt curb as I was looking down over the precipice. A hard crack of the throttle straightened her back up and I went marrily on my way.

On getting home I noticed that my right side underbelly has a gash in it and now needs replacement.

Does that count? The underbelly made road contact, but I technically did go "down" (yah, that would've be a real fun one....:eek:)

[SupraSabre]

hey Joe, maybe you need to add "in X years of ownership"...

Just to let us know how long they've been trying!

Two saves, 0 drops...:D

[2dogs]

Well, lets see..... We're being honest here...?
'06 ST, it's '08,,, 2yrs= 3 drops. Once turning around in the drive way, just after I installed my Bygdawg's tip over bars, once in the garage takin' it off the center stand after an oil change:( and once last week backing out of a sloping drive into the street too fast.:eek: DOH! man those girls at that side walk cafe thought I was Way Cool! (I am exceptionally graceful, hehehee).
LOL! no damage, just my pride.

So.....Rob......It is your sworn testimony that you only "dropped if off at the dealers?":D

I remind you sir, you are under oath....

Chris :D

OBTWm my three are divided between two ST-1300's so it' really only 1.5 drops

[finalchecker]

You think ACL can make the top 50 in this list?:duck:

[Mellow]

Actually, I can't wait to see George's .. I have a feeling he'll just give up... LOL

[GaryRivers67]

Ok, Mellow
I dropped mine 2 times on each side at the advanced riders course. I was eager to learn what I forgot over 10 years of not riding. With only 3 days with My ST figured I could handle it. What can I say just a scratch on each wing. I learned a lot and now work to keep the count the same.

[finalchecker]

:trollsI dropped mine... once... off at the dealer... when I got my WING! :D

Mellow, can you give Rob a Wing counter?

[Mellow]

:trolls

Mellow, can you give Rob a Wing counter?

I could... but I don't want to.. :D

[scout17]

So in the Stats section on the home page, just under combined miles, we need combined drops. Then we could average the miles per drop. This is starting to remind me of the airplane and conveyor belt thread. Maybe time for a friendly bump. :-) Another Forum Farkle brought to us by Mellow.

[sirepair]

Now you just need a "pies consumed" counter... Gonna need 8 digits, I think!

So, Joe,
is your 1 drop on your new ST or the first one?

The 1st one... but, time will tell... LOL

[hawkeyeST]

Already filled mine in. :)

[dduelin]

Practice slow speed work real slow and real tight and the chances greatly increase to drop the bike. I bought a new tip-over wing cover after one drop on each side and did not buy another after the second drop on the left side. That seemed to do the trick as I haven't dropped it since.

So does that mean that since I have dropped it twice on the right side that I now have to drop it on the left before I can relax?

[S2000-Dave]

Dropped my ZZR1200, and GS1100, but not my ST1300, does that count?

[G-MAN]

Dropped it 2 times.
1st - it was 2 weeks old and I was backing down a ramp and put my foot out for stability ...... well you know the rest ...... the ground was about 10 inches below my foot.

2nd - I was backing out of a parking lot. Put it in gear and turned the handle bars to move out........... gave it just enough gas to move the bike about 4 inches and stalled the engine. Yep - over she went. Poor Ruby will she ever be the same? Thank Honda for tip-over wings. Not even a scratch.

[dduelin]

No, you must remain vigilant for your time is yet to come. What I meant was as long as there is a scuff on a tip-over wing I'm covered.

[OldBlue]

You are an evil man:crackup

I AGREE!!!!

That's just wrong on so many levels..... :D

Great! Now the whole world can see! :D

Well, the drop count is pretty much a humorous thing... however, with your drops my eyes start to water and I get a lump in my throat... those are not funny drops.

[STNY]

[killerST6]

2 saves, both in the garage while doing my daily 180* turn around to put her in her parking place between the 2 cars in there.

2 times I have jabbed my foot down in a low speed U to keep her on her way...
does that count as 2 more saves?

I wonder if this thread and counter will jink us!!

[S2000-Dave]

It cost $600 to replace the plastic on the ZZR1200, and it cost about $300 (1980 bucks) for the GS1100. Wish they had tip overs wings on those bikes!

[Kempo-STer]

[st1300r]

Cool. Are you still riding the bicycle?
If we were counting other bikes I could give you a run for your money.
The xl250 saw more get offs than a hollywood casting couch.

Yeah... George is the reason I figured I needed to make it 3 digits. :eek: :D

[Gug]

Ironically, I finally dropped the bike on Tuesday night this week. backed out of the driveway from a different angle after washing it and when I steered the rear around I ended up right on the apex of the end of the driveway with both tires when I stopped. It was about a 25-30 degree lean. I tried the brakes to hold it but the angle was too much and as you folks intrstucted me just get out of the way. The tip over wing did it's thing with no other damage. I may or may not replace it. It was my first accident on a bike. Only thing hurt was my pride. Already healed from that.

Thanks for all the advice.

14 years... that's not bad John.. but yes, I think George does at least half that on each trip... doesn't help he thing ST stands for Dual Sport.

[Kempo-STer]

Cool. Are you still riding the bicycle?


Not right now. The problem is that I have an PIC line in my (for IV) that goes up my arm and into my chest. I have to give myself IV drugs everymorning. But taking a shower with this thing sticking out of my arm means wrapping it with saran wrap and taping it so it doesn't get wet. Which means no riding to work..So I have to take the other 2 wheels in to work (with the engine)

I will get out on it this weekend hopefully.

I agree! As a matter of fact, I'd be willing to bet that the number of ST drops rises dramatically in the short term as a result of this new feature! :mw1:

Shame on you Mellow for starting the dreaded "ST Drop Curse"!! :nanner1:

And although I haven't dropped it yet, I bought a set of bygdawg's tip-over bars, just in case!
.

[bygdawg]

I've only dropped mine about 22 times, but all but about three of those were on purpose. :o:

[ChucksKLRST]

I went 10 years with my ST1100 and never once, not even in the garage, did I have a drop. Traded it in on my ST1300 and 6 months later was riding the Willow City loop off of Texas hiway 16. While doing a walking speed, water crossing, in 1 inch of water, the back end of the bike came out from under me. Green Slime will get you every time. Scuffed up the tipover wing and left a fingernail size scratch on the bottom of the exhaust pipe. That was 5 years ago. So in over 15 years of ST riding I have only had 1 Drop. Now if we talk about my dirt bikes, that is another story..........

[Byron]

Tried to put the drop count, 2, in and it complained about my 2008 miles entry being a bad format. I have nothing entered in that field. Should I enter 000000?

That's what I had to do to get the drop count to display.

Joe,

When I get to 5 do I get an Ace award? :eek:

[George]

I updated mine with "12" tho that's prolly low.

Dropped STick 4 times during the WeSTOC alone.

Dropped ReSTored 5 times during my spring ride.

First drop on STick was _way_ back in 93.

Several more in between, lots of tip-over covers, mirrors, mirror covers. Awaiting a left side replacement as we speak.

Are you going to do something like the mileage where it shows who has the most drops? :twisted:

We could score it like golf, only for ST owners.

"Well, let's see here. This year is a par 2 and Bob is 1 under par. Mellow takes a mulligan with the turkey incident. And, let's see.........who had the handicap?" :D

Makes one wonder what a "Hole in One" would consist of..............:D

Finalchecker, I'm not proud of it. Give kudos to those with ZERO drops.

[kevmeiSTer]

....and here I was thinking my 6 was going to be the winner.....:o:

Five were slow speed combined w/front brake (slow learner!!)
One person cut me off in a parking lot...

Anybody have a solution for a 29" inseam? Think that may have elimnated a few of these....

Spencer's seat mod is next on the list....

Geezus, do you have an AA support group that meets around you somewhere???:eek::eek::eek:

[George]

Kempo, like I said I'm not proud of it. On the good side, I can pick up a fully loaded ST on my own; on the bad side, once she starts to tip it's _very_ hard to catch it.

I've dropped lots of bikes (dropped the _new_ VFR on both sides first time I washed it, had the GL1500 roll off the sidestand and bust the left side cover one time) but prolly dropped the STs the most. OTOH, I have a combined 250,000 miles or so on various STs.

[okmurdog]

I try to avoid conversations regarding dropping the bike....I compare it to looking a gift horse in the mouth--don't question it--once you do, it's all over!! :D

With that said, I have come close to dropping on two occasions....close, but no cigar...

(now I've jinxed myself for sure!!) :eek:

I agree. It makes me wonder if the original poster has an ulterior motive. Keep an eye on the for sale section for an increase in tip over wing posts:D

[STill Fiddlin]

Confession is good for the soul. I can say that the 3rd time was a charm for me. I can now stand my baby back upright all by myself, in the mud, fully loaded (well, maybe not "George-fully-loaded" but far from the book's dry weight). Bring #4 on...

[electrajoe]

If you don't drop at least once a year.

1 Your legs are too long
2 You have too smooth a driveway
3 You don't appreciate gravel, especially gravel on pavement
4 You hate to stop on sloping pull overs
5 You figured out that the front brake should not be used when stopping in gravel
6 You figured out that the ST is not an off-road bike
7 You are not ridding enough
8 Other ....

So far never dropped it while under power, just while stopping or at stop. Hum, Hum. Reminder to self, keep on the throttle.

Hey, neither can I! There I was on AZ 96, just eas of Bagdad, bike sprawled in the middle of the road, 90° to the right of way. Had to remove the tires and gear before I could lever her back up. Could'a used some traffic, might of got some help.

Crushed the mirror, too.

[Old Guy New Bike]

I guess as long as everybody is being honest, first time wasn't really a drop, backed a pick-up into it and knocked it over. But as long as it was down I suppose it was a drop.
Second time, after the installation of Bygdogs tip over wings thanks again, but I'm sure it won't be the last as long as I keep riding.

[SoloTotoCoyote]

...........Had to remove the tires..before I could lever her back up.

Remove the tires??:confused: ..........Suddenly have an interesting thought of you removing the front and rear wheel with the bike on its side in the middle of the road...........

You know... that wouldn't have been so bad if you hadn't have done so well on the obstacle course the day before.

That one should get extra credit... but in all fairness, the sun was in your eyes.... yeah, that's the ticket.
