Yep, yes you read that right, I DROPPED one of the bikes!
So, after 322,291 miles and 12 years on ST1300s, I finally DROPPED one, the 2004#2! At least it was that bike!
I thought I had the sidestand down when I was pushing it off the center stand, but I didn't. I pushed and down she went (on the left side)!
And I had plenty of people at the gas station to witness it!
And of course, not ONE person would come over and help me, so I picked it up myself.
And because I can't bend my knees too well to get my butt down to the saddle (long legs), I just muscled it up the hard way. 4:
Only damage was to the MCL tipover cover and the left muffler got a half dollar rash.
Got to watch that sidestand! 4:
And yes, you'll notice that I updated my tipover count to 1
