Have had my ST since June 2003 and first tip over this summer at ONSTOC, lost my footing at a gas station.
Today backed out of neighbor's storage shed (my shed is getting a new floor and is out of commission) onto nice slick grass. In gear and accelerating while turning right to get up a small incline to the driveway and rear wheel spins and slides hard to the left and down I go on the right side. You'd think with all the off road bike experience I've had I could manage a 3 or 4 foot slide, but apparently none of my old dirt bikes weighed 800 pounds.
So, I think I'm done with tip overs for the season but a really helpful person mentioned "never two without three" so I guess I'll be on standby for the next couple of weeks until the bike gets put away for the winter.
